There are two basic ways to "release" the golf club - with the hands like the GOATs or with the body. Both work and can produce the same end result.

There’s been a lot of questions about Jake Knapp's golf swing and how he produces so much clubhead speed. It's an awesome swing, so let's take a look at it. Now, as he goes back, look how wide he keeps his wrist. This is something I’ll be talking about in an upcoming video about exactly how the wrists and hands work and all three motions that they make in terms of rotation, deviation, extension and flexion. In the meantime, this is something that will help you understand where speed comes from in the swing and overall control. 

Jake swings well over 120 miles an hour, hits the ball a mile and notice how little he's doing with his wrist as he goes back. He's keeping them wide. This keeps the club face control; helps you create a wide arc and a wide turn. But also, as we look down the line, you're going to see he's going to keep his lead wrist in extension for a long time.

A lot of times people look at somebody like Dustin Johnson, who really shuts the face at the top and bows the wrist a lot and keeps the body rotation going through the hitting area in order to get the club to work through the ball. Whereas the old school way, done by golfers like Tiger and Jack, is that they're releasing the hands. So you can release the body, you can release the hands. Both will kind of create the same results but in very different ways.

One is much easier on the body than the other, one has won more majors than any other, and one requires a lot less athleticism than the other.
