Is there a way to train yourself to have a more natural "loose" release.

I find at the moment my irons I am softer with them in terms of grip and not so stiff with the wrist hinge and as a result I hit them pretty nicely most of the time. 7 iron 150m and pretty straight, alignment issues excepted.

However with my driver, woods and even my 3 Hybrid, psychologically I tend to hold on too tight and slam the face shut at impact. My swing path is pretty down the line but with the face closed I get the pull and then a drawing flight as well which exacerbates the problem.

Every now and then I catch myself and swing properly with a nice release and I crush the ball. 235m to 240m in winter conditions. My problem is I still do it far too often.

Is there a way to train yourself to stop holding on and make it a more natural thing, is it just repetition?

Get an impact bag. There are plenty of videos on youtube on how to use them.

A premature release. Apparently sometimes called a flip.

I think there is if you go by the movie Road Trip.
Someone say milking the prostrate :shock:

I like to naturally release; problem is the effect it has on others around me

Try a lighter shaft or softer flex of a mate or the pro shop. See if there is any difference.
I too have a similar problem but only my driver. 3 wood and hybrid are fine. Weird...
I'm also experimenting with twking driver back shorter. As it is heavier and longer I tend to get long and that's where I lose it.

Take your practice swings with your feet together. It will force you to swing smoothly and to complete the stroke / turn.

If you swing like a retard, you'll know it when you fall over.
