Re: wristy/ flipping

You are probably too busy thinking about what the body should be doing and not worried enough about the club. The REASON for hitting fats and thins is simple, you are not hitting the ground in the right place. Draw a paint line or chalk line on the ground, and go and practice taking shallow divots after the line. If you dont hit the line, make sure you do next time. If you hit too far behind, try to hit further forward. I know my advice is simplstic but this game really is that simple. Train it now until it is natural.

The reason for your errors are probably your subconscious is trying to get under the ball and lift it, so the bottom of your swing will go further back (if not because of you hadns being back, or your weight being back or some other reason your body will try to find). But you shouldnt really care about any of that. Read my first paragraph. If you get that one thing right NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Stop thinking about what not to do, and just do the first thing i said. There is only one thing to do, hit the ground int he right place. Now go off and train young man
