It's pretty easy to understand that timing the release for full shots is difficult when using traditional pre-shot alignment guidelines of square feet, hips, shoulders, and two knuckles showing at address.
Traditional alignment allows for a significant amount of wrist pronation and supination through impact on a full swing.
If you are a little late in timing the release, the clubface can be open at impact causing the ball to go to the right. If you are a little early in timing your release, the clubface can be closed and the shot will go farther left than expected for a right handed player.
But how hard could it be to time the release in putting? According to Gary Koch, one of professional golf's finest putters, timing the release in putting is anything but easy.
Gary's watchful eye saw numerous examples of missed putts during the third round of the Honda Classic. Sergio Garcia, who has a gifted short game, had consecutive holes where he was unable to properly release the putter according to Koch.
On 16 Koch said, "Doesn't look like he's releasing the putter as well as he was say about this time last year, that's for sure."
On 17 Sergio again missed a putt to the right and Koch said, "Not releasing the putter very well."
A method to reduce the need to properly time your release of the putter, or irons and woods, can be found in the Golf Shotmaker Manual.
Dynamic pre-shot alignment can significantly improve a golfer's ability to synchronize the release for all types of golf shots for improved control of the ultimate issue on all golf shots: clubface alignment at impact.
