Phil Mickelson Golf Swing Analysis 2013: British Open Champion (Golf's #1 Lag Instructor)
Wow, what a finish in the final round of the 2013 British Open for Phil Mickelson! Just when you think the lefties' game is fading away, he plays one of the best rounds of all time in the final round of a major.
Phil has many keys to his success. But there is one crucial element I see Phil do very well that I see a lot of amateurs really struggle with. This crucial move is a proper release. I see high handicappers on a regular basis that struggle with a flip daily. It is adding loft to their shots and creating inconsistency.
One of the things that is tough is to understand the difference between the proper release and a flip. It all comes down to the left wrist. In the proper release, the left wrist (leading wrist for right handed golfers) is flat the entire time. You can rotate your hands and arms as aggressively as you like, but you do not want the leading wrist to break down.
To learn the proper release, you will want to watch this Phil Mickelson Video!! Good luck with your golf game. I look forward to working with you much more in the future.

why you gotta come at his physical fitness….my bet he beats you by
20+strokes…..on9
The “release” motion through impact is much emphasized by pros like Phil
and Vijay whose pointer fingers sometimes come loose off the grip. Fred
Couples is another. IMHO I look at this as basically a “hit down” motion
even on driver and woods……..many teaching pros, I dare say, wittingly
or unwittingly withhold this very same crucial information to their
students that you, Clay are sharing to everyone…….You are doing golfdom
a great service, thank you!
Another solid breakdown LD!
Thanks CT!!
chuck – that angle is not that severe, that’s almost impossible. it’s
because of the angle you’re viewing it from. an aerial shot would show it
to be circa 90 degrees. a laid off club will increase the look of the angle
too. have a look at “hogan grand illusion” by mavesy123 to further explain.
people say the same about sergio but it’s not true! have a look at brad
hughes’ videos – this roll release is inconsistent and relies on timing. a
hitters release is both more powerful and consistent
Haha, where I come from its the British Open!! I thought it was a great
tournament. Good test of all of your skills on that course. There was no
hiding behind one aspect of your game. The course demanded you hit the ball
well and score well. Fun to watch. ~Clay Ballard
Clay Ballard that did this video (also answering this question). You are
correct, the angle in reality is less. The main focus is that he is not
holding that angle and is releasing. Most players can only get around 30
degrees of ulnar deviation, so you are maxing out around 110* of lag. As
you mentioned Sergio gets very flat, so it looks like a little more than
there is. I just didn’t get into that discussion in this video thanks.
Maybe I will make a future video on this. ~Clay Ballard
good info but its THE OPEN
