Roll over or Roll under

The new golf swing instruction by Dan Shauger has caused quite a stir amongst golfers and golf instructors alike.

He advocates a under arm style of releasing the golf club, yes under arm. The conventional wisdom is the roller over of the forearms. This new style of releasing the wrists under and through has a huge amount of credability.

Why?

Because it reduces potentially errors substantially. Imagine a straight up and down action versus a side to side action. If you can get that concept you will begin to understand how this new thinking will inspire changes in golf instruction.

However because of Marketing constraints and old fashion thinking it will take sometime to turn golfers around to the new 21st Century golf swing.
