Re: How to Cure Flipping ??!!!

I think the right hand is helping the flip a bit and am not sure how to get it to be "quiet".

Thanks in advance.
First well done for recognising this .. took me a long to realise this is where most of my faults lied. I spent a long time and a lot of practice taking my hands out of the swing. What i find works is keeping a light grip and feel the club in the fingers of your left hand, then turning (really turning) trhough the ball. The feeling is like you will hit it miles left with that turn but provided your hands/wrists stay passive the turn will actually square the clubhead/ Dont be afraid of being 'open' at impact

I actually had to hit a lot of balls left before I straightened up and my brain realised than my wrists had to stay bent (i.e. the Secret)
