Swoosh-in-front drill to build release feel

Craig gives a drill to build personal feels for the release. From the position with the grip end pointing up, get the knees together and add a little side bend, then swing back and through — even with the eyes closed — gathering the feeling of the club swooshing out 20 to 30 centimetres in front of the ball.
