Peter Crocitto III, Director at the Keiser University Golf Coaching Center, explains the nuances of the release point in wedge shots, a crucial aspect for golfers aiming to refine their short game. Peter begins by explaining the concept of the release point, focusing on how the club handle’s position through the shot can significantly influence the ball’s trajectory and landing behavior. He emphasizes the importance of the handle’s direction at the end of the swing and how it impacts the shot’s outcome.
He also provides viewers with practical advice through two distinct examples. The first example illustrates a technique for achieving a higher shot with less roll, where the handle points towards the golfer’s belt at the end of the swing. This approach allows the club to meet the ball at a more vertical angle, keeping the clubface open and enabling the ball to land softer. Peter demonstrates this technique, showing a quiet shot where the ball lands softly with minimal roll.
The second example contrasts the first by focusing on a shot designed to roll out more upon landing. Here, Peter advises positioning the club handle slightly more out in front, which helps keep the clubface closed longer, promoting a shot that rolls further upon landing.
Peter’s expert guidance and clear demonstrations provide invaluable insights for golfers looking to enhance their wedge play, offering strategies to control the ball’s landing and roll based on the positioning of the club handle during the release point.
