You could also imagine your left arm and club make up the flail with
the leather strap replacing your wrist. If the wrist is relaxed enough
the release of the club head can happen naturally with the help of
centrifugal force generated by the weight of the club head. Mostly
the release of the right arm and wrist will be a conscious effort
though. Keep in mind that this movement is for alignment and not
to generate speed.
