Rehearse the release with soft arms and a teed 8-iron

To feel the release through impact, get the hands and wrists into the position where the wrists touch through the golf ball and the club head is not rolled over (left wrist extension, right wrist flexion). Craig Hanson has you rehearse it by teeing up a couple of golf balls with an eight-iron, keeping the arms and hands really soft, getting into the position, looking back at the ball, and swinging back and through to feel the freedom.
