( FINESSE ) Release 2 soft-landing shot . In this position, we are playing to a pin around 25 yards away and at the bottom of a downslope. As the ground is firm, we need a shot that lands softly and has spin. To play this, we moved from a #release1 to a #release2 follow-through, allowing us to hit a mid-flighted shot with spin! . WHAT IS RELEASE 2? If you miss the green on the wrong side, you’ll have little room between the edge of the green and the pin. These circumstances require a mid flighte

( TEMPO ) Gaining control 🎯 The #release2 soft-landing shot is one of the most important shots in the short game. It’s a mid-flighted shot that lands softly onto the green with control, allowing you to access tighter pins and get it close on firmer greens. To execute this shot successfully, it’s super important to have a smooth tempo… . ELITE LEVEL TEMPO One of the best drills I use for developing tempo is to play some shots with my thumbs off the grip. This allows you to feel the weight of the

( SET-UP BASICS ) Release 2 Soft Landing I often coach players who can consistently execute one short game shot well but struggle to adapt to different scenarios. While you may get away with this in some rounds, there will inevitably be situations where alternative shot are necessary . Release 1 vs Release 2 Below are some key setup differences when transitioning from a #Release1 chip and run to a #Release2 soft landing shot 1️⃣ Stand slightly farther away with lower hands 2️⃣ Open the clubface

( FORGIVENESS 📈 ) Release 1: Chip and Run When the ground is soft and wet, the club is more likely to dig into the turf - especially if your grip loses height in the downswing. . SWING UNDER THE COFFEE TABLE To fix this, we focused on making a low backswing - as if swinging under a coffee table. This allows the club to release naturally into the #1 finish. Learning to control the arc depth when chipping is key. There is nothing wrong with having some shaft lean and hitting down on the ball, how

/ CREATING SPACE FOR ROTATION / Eliminating early extension Here I’m with Dan Knight working on his long game. Dan came to me complaining of difficulties fully rotating and clearing his body. As a scratch player, Dan has great hands which enable him to hit straight shots even when his swing gets a little narrow and an early extension restricts his rotation slightly . PREVENTING NARROW HANDS To counter this move, we worked on hitting 70% shots where the hands were kept as high as possible for as

Escaping position Z! Every now and again, we'll miss the green in the worst possible position, and our only option is to hit a lob shot to get the ball close to the green.

( TIGHT LIE LOB SHOT ) Setup and swing Most wedges are designed with the sole cambered towards the toe to create some bounce relief. We can capitalise on this by placing the toe down, standing open, and swinging out-to-in to produce a higher shot from a tight lie .

/ RELEASE 2 / Sliding the bounce and generating spin control #golfathome series PART 12 . Firmer greens, tighter pin positions and the need for generating more spin are all indications that a #release2 shot is required. This shot has slightly different fundamentals to #release1 in order to encourage the club to release slightly more and maximise your chances of playing a delicate shot with finesse . The most important factor in being able to do this is the position of the club head in the backsw

( GETTING IT CLOSE 🎯) The #Release1 is your bread and butter short game shot, best used when you’ve got plenty of green to work with. It’s by far the safest option in the short game and you can use any iron in your bag to get the ball to run out different distances. Here we used a pitching wedge! . RELEASE 1 SET-UP BASICS To play this shot well, we focused on: 1️⃣ Levelling the shoulders as much as possible 2️⃣ Standing closer to the ball with higher hands 3️⃣ Used a smooth tempo for consistent

For those of you who have been following for a while you will have picked up on my short game 3 releases system. Release 2 is the mid flighted, soft spin shot where there is an indirect strike between the club head and golf ball. It is a crucial shot to play around firmer greens or where a little bit of check is required . Too many players attempt to play this shot (and short game shots in general) with a

Dan Grieve’s Release 1 method ⛳️ When on the greens, I tend to drive the hands a little too much, creating a bit too much shaft lean. This leads me to backing up with the spine angle. Here, the feeling I had was allowing the club to release early in transition with very little force then supporting it with my body turn. If you want to remove the nerves around the greens, then I strongly recommend that you listen to some of these key things and test them out yourself. Check out the full video wit
