If this happens, the shaft will be in-line with the right arm, and the clubhead will have passed the hands. If we think of releasing at the ball, it will occur too soon, and the both arms extended position will occur at or before impact. Since we don't focus on positions here, one way to think about the release is for it to occur out there, toward the target. When the swings of accomplished players are observed in slow motion, one can clearly see that the right elbow (of a RH golfer) is still bent at impact, and the shaft is basically in line with the left arm. Technically, one way to think about the release is the point when both arms are fully extended. 'As for releasing toward the target, this is an area where the golf swing is more art than science. We never just throw a ball, we pick a spot to throw it to and our CNS takes care of the details.' (DudeManBrother) When you harness this relationship, it's like you finally get to play golf for the first time, there are no swing thoughts, just target visualization. The only objective in your head becomes,'where am I throwing this thing' and you feel your swing protecting the ball/face relationship. If you stay in balance and smooth it can stay on the face the whole time. If you were to get quick with your tempo or jerky in your movement, then the ball would fall off the face. 'Try to imagine the ball is stuck to the face with a weak magnet, it's on the face when the club goes back, and stays on the face until you release it to the target. 'This is why the feel of the action through grass swat or cut is major because you cannot ignore the ball but you can include the feel of the cut or compression strike in the equation of delivering into the picture.' (Shawn Clement) Or to be said in a more positive way it is about allowing you to be in the moment for the few seconds it takes to swing at your target.'(Ron1) 'Having 'Target Focus' Consistency is about NOT allowing interference enter our thought process. 'If you stay on target it's going to settle at least 95% of the issues in your swing.' (Shawn Clement). 'If you don't have a target, you don't have a golf swing.'( Shawn Clement)
