I will discuss how to properly release the club to hit a more accurate and consistent shot with any club in the bag!!
The release is a very counter-intuitive move. Turning the clubface over is a way of squaring the clubface at impact. The golf swing is on an oblique plane, so to square the clubface, the toe must be traveling faster than the heel through impact. I have two students that have their own image in their heads to accomplish this. My student Jack feels like he is turning the knuckles of his lead hand towards the ground through impact. This gives him a nice solid straight hit. My wife has an image of kissing the wrists. That is what she tries to do when she starts slicing or hitting to the right. The key to both of those images is that the clubhead must continue to travel down the line (or towards the target)
The words that I use are releasing down the line. Whatever you feel or imagine, if it helps you accomplish this move, use it!
