Stop flipping at impact and compress the ball!

Here is a quick drill to teach you how to stop flipping the club at the ball at impact and to start compressing the ball with forward shaft lean!

Tom from Oakwood Virtual Golf. Do you struggle with flipping in your swing? This is one of the number one issues that amateurs have. So I’ve been working with our coaches here, Scott Knights and George Connor, on a couple of drills that I want to show you here today.

So my first issue that I had was with my grip. Now, when I used to grip the club, I would hold with my thumb straight in line with the club. That was one of the first things that Scott told me was,

I’ve got to get my hand way over to get a stronger grip. So I want the V in my hand to be pointed down towards the head. So doing that and then aligning my other hand with that as well, and then making sure that I get my front arm up

And my back shoulder down at address. And then just working on this drill just to bring the club back to here and then just turn it through just like that. Nothing more than just a little punch and then do it again. Just get a little bit more

Cleaner contact and I’ll move my back out of the way here so you can actually see what I’m talking about. So once again, get the grip set up and just bring it back just to here and then turn through.

Now, I’m going to show on the replay here, you can see kind of what’s happening. So I’m gonna bring this back to the beginning. So as I’m bringing it back just halfway when my hands come through, you can see my hands are getting all the way to my left hip and at impact

I’ve got some really good club (shaft) lean. Bring up the drawing tools here. You can see my club is actually got some lean there. Then my hands follow straight through. Now, just to show you, this is something I’m working on on this little it’s

A little chip shot When I when I still take a full swing. I’ve got to really work on this drill because I’ll take a full swing here and show you, even though I’m trying to do this. You can see the difference Okay. Pretty good result. But let’s see. Here we go back.

So I’m bringing the club back. Now at impact. See, I’m still getting flippy there. See how my hands that impact position way different than during the drill. So basically what I need to do is to continue working on this drill. And this is something that

If you wanted to work on for yourself, you can come in here. This is SIM one, which is our training SIM. If you specifically want to use the cameras, ask us when you’re booking, give us a call and say, Can you please make sure that I’m in SIM one?

I need to use the camera system. It’s a really great drill and I’m going to keep on doing it over and over again. I think it would be worth it if you’ve got if you are a flipper to come in and just even spend an hour just doing this drill, just

Just over and over again to get that locked in on your swing.
