Which release pattern is associated with an open-faced grip?

• A. Heavier wrist cock
• B. Livelier arms and hands
• C. Slower arm speed
• D. Tighter grip pressure

Answer: (B)

Release pattern describes how the hands, arms, and wrists unwind through impact to control the clubface. An open-faced grip tends to set up the hands to move more freely and aggressively through the hit, producing a quicker, more active release of the arms and hands. That livelier action helps the clubface close or square to the target at impact, which is why this option best fits. The other options describe slower or restricted action (slower arm speed, heavier wrist cock, tighter grip pressure) that wouldn’t align with the energetic, hands-and-arms release associated with an open-faced grip.
