From observation of thousands of recreational golfers, I believe one of the most misunderstood intricacies of the golf swing is how the golf club “releases” through impact.

If you did it right, you will see the right wrist flex and the left wrist flatten. ...
What happens if a golf club starts down too vertically?
But if the club starts down too vertical, a golfer only has two choices: to bail out or back up. Backing up is a term I have for when a golfer tilts his or her upper body away for the ball. It shallows out the shaft plane and helps them avoid hitting the ground.
Does Tiger Woods move his body down?
Most serious golfers have seen slow-motion video of Tiger Woods or some other tour pro who moves his or her body down in the moments before impact. Those players actually lower what is called their “center,” or upper body on the downswing. But rarely, if ever, do amateurs make the same move.
