Alan,

The spinning out is probably coming from a balance problem. At the transition, your body may be coming upright in the swing. This will force weight back on your heels. When you swing through the front foot weight being on the heel will make it spin instead of the back toe spinning. You created the wrong weight shift.

A tip and a drill for you: Tip in on the mental side of the game. Don't anticipate a shot. Two conditions to look out for, hitting a good shot then the anticipation of doubling up and hitting another, you want to look up early. The other is hitting a bad shot and wanting to pull off a recovery shot and looking early. I get in the mind set everyone else sees it first then I'll have a look when the shot pulls me around.

This is a balance drill: Hit practice balls with your feet in a line behind each other. Make sure your toes are turned out slightly to help with your balance. Hit about 5 balls like this then take a normal stance and hit 5 balls. Doing this drill your weight will come more to the front of your stance about on the balls of the feet.

Keep it in the short grass,
