Warning about the roll release

First, let me say that in all of our fearless leader‘s instruction he basically describes the release as a more stable release. The golf machine calls it angled hinging.

I typically use a roll release (when swinging vs hitting - another golf machine concept) you would see my toe up as the club comes down toward impact and it rolls to toe up as the club reaches parallel to the ground on the through swing.

The problem with this release pattern is a warning to others who might try it. Yesterday I shot 71. When things are good the roll release is amazing. However, today, I was fighting timing all day. I scratched it around and saved a 79, but it wasn’t pretty. Then I played in league tonight and timing was off to the point I couldn’t turn the ball over unless I went to a 4-knuckle grip.

I am posting this message to my fellow Saguto golfers just to say the release pattern as @Tom Saguto describes it is a superior way to control the golf ball.

As for me, until I hit a bad patch I stick with what’s working. But in my mind I know it’s about time to change that part of my swing too.
