Clement: At-home drills to stop rushing the downswing
We get those questions often: How do I slow down my swing? How do I stop rushing my swing?
The answer is so much easier than you think and not what you would expect. We are absolute gravity geniuses and through our natural self-preserving “central nervous system,” we thrive when it comes to simple tasks with simple tools. The golf club is a simple tool. As soon as you understand completely what the heck it was designed for, the tempo and timing of the swing take care of themselves.
You won’t ever see a lumberjack fight with his axe or a construction worker fight with a sledgehammer. We will show you how to flow with your golf instrument in this video.

One of my lifelong checkpoints is to keep the shaft be- tween my arms throughout the swing, as shown in the halfway-down and follow-through positions. This happens without my thinking about it, if I maintain my posture, keep my head steady and allow my body to react to the club.
A proper release according to Nicklaus is to have the golf shaft
bisecting the two forarms in DS (P6) and follow through(Level left)
ie shoulders, elbows and hips all in the same plane at P8
with club shaft bisecting the two forarms
NOT trail hand rolled over the lead hand at P8

What Jack said was, “you can’t release too early on the downswing, as long as you move into your left side and swing the club from inside the target line”
Fulfill those two things a) move into the left side b) swing the club from inside the target line then you cant start the DS fast enough.
Trying to slow any one link in a chain , is asking for trouble.

The sledgehammer the axe and golf club including the clubhead are levers; as are the arms levers.
This system of compound levers are moved by our torso rotation, with the kinematic sequence providing the deceleration to accelerate the club lever.
ie the dog wags the tail, whether its an axe, a sledgehammer or golf club.
