The release (after the ball is long gone) is where the club head stays square and the hands fold the way they are meant to do. The right hand comes into the ball bent back and after the strike, it straightens. Or, you can work with the left hand, it comes into impact straight with the wrist and after impact the club head runs off of its own weight, causing it to fold back. This action instantly DRIVES the left elbow into your side, so you will find it tough to 'chicken wing'.
This lets the club head release looking at the target. This is the way you would underhand toss a ball, or slap something and the way your hands have the most strength. It is wonderful on all shots from the driver down to the putter (especially the putter). Letting the putter head release (always after the hit on the ball) but remaining square to the line and target will get you excited in a hurry.
Your divots will be square at the start and square at the finish. The sound your irons produce will convince you something is going right. I think rolling the club head through impact always gives a kind of 'glancing' blow. Having the club head come in square and SHALLOW, without turning produces the most solid strike possible.
