A good idea is to dedicate 15-20 minutes before each practice session to do these drills. Consistency is key to building muscle memory!

I’ve been practicing my follow-through with the ‘finish position drill’. It really helps with balance and ensuring I’m not flipping the club.

That’s a great drill! Sometimes I think we forget how important the finish position is. It sets the tone for the whole swing.

24

I always thought the finish position was overrated, but I see now how crucial it is in preventing flipping. I’ll definitely incorporate that drill!

25

Has anyone else tried the ‘slow-mo swing’ drill? It helps you feel each part of the swing without rushing and can help correct the flip.

26

I love that drill! It feels a bit funny at first, but it really makes you think about your mechanics. Being slow gives you time to focus on each movement.

There seems to be so much information out there. Does anyone know of comprehensive resources or websites that have both drills and video tutorials?

One of the most common errors that lead to flipping the club is poor grip pressure. If your grip is too tight, it can cause the hands to flip through impact. Try to maintain a relaxed grip for better control.

Great tip! I also find that getting the right wrist position at the top of the backswing helps me avoid flipping.

31

Absolutely! Another frequent error is initiating the downswing with the upper body instead of the lower body. Focusing on using your legs can help achieve a smoother release.

I never thought of that! I usually struggle with the sequence during my swing. I’ll practice that next time.

33

Remember to keep an eye on your weight distribution during the swing. If you’re leaning too much to the back foot, it increases the likelihood of flipping at impact.

34

That makes perfect sense! I tend to get back too much. Any drills to fix that?

35

A good drill is to practice swinging with your feet together. This forces you to balance your weight and can help eliminate the flipping.

36

That sounds challenging but helpful! I’ll definitely give it a shot. Thanks!

Also, don’t forget about follow-through! A proper follow-through helps to maintain control and reduces the chances of flipping the club.

38

I find when I rush my follow-through, I tend to flip more. I’ll consciously slow it down.

39

Very true! But let’s be honest, sometimes it’s just about our brains getting in the way during the swing, right? Overthinking causes a lot of issues.

Ha! So true! I mean, if I wasn’t worried about flipping, I’m sure I wouldn’t flip!
