A Golf Swing Cure For Flipping


If you're looking for a golf swing cure for flipping, you must first realize there may be deeper rooted causes for your flipping the club through impact. I've been a flipper for over 13 years, and kept looking for bandaide fixes, and never found one until I looked a little deeper and found the issue.

You must get to an impact position with a forward leaning shaft (hands ahead) when you hit the ball, which results in maximum compression, and solidness of contact, creating a boaring, long shot with all your irons.

Sliding Causes Flipping

That means instead of turning through with your body, you slide it towards the target. When you do this, you either cast the club way too early, or you have to flip at impact to even have a chance to hit the golf ball. So to initiate your downswing, don't slide but rotate your body, while retaining your wrist cock.

Flipping Cure In Your Golf Swing

One cure for your flipping is to find a training aid that encourages a "hands ahead" position at impact. One such training aid is the Tour Striker Swing Trainer. This training club is specifically designed to force you to hit the ball with your hands ahead, and a forward leaning shaft. If you don't, the ball will not get airborne.

How To Drive A Golf Ball



The tee shot is the ego shot in golf. Learning how to drive a golf ball far is way up on the list for most beginning golfers. The only problem is most amateur and beginner golfers drive it way shorter than they want to, because their golf swing technique is not proper to encourage longer golf drives.

Strengthen Your Golf Grip

One very effective way to quickly improve driving distance is to have a proper golf grip. The preference is a strong one so you can rotate the club face over through impact encouraging a draw and more yards when it hits the ground.

Golf Ball Position Forward

To promote maximum launch angle you need an ascending blow on the golf ball. Positioning it up in your stance, just inside your left heel will make it much easier to hit "up on the ball".

Spine Tilt

This is where beginner golfers screw up. Instead of a spine angle away from the target at impact, many have either a vertical one, or even worse, one that is more towards the target, encouraging a descending blow resulting in pop ups.

That's just a few simple golf tips to get you on the right track to hitting your golf drives long and straight.

How You Use Your Arms In The Golf Swing

How You Use Your Arms In The Golf Swing

It seems the modern swing is a very connected, arms and torso together type of golf swing. Found this makes it much easier to be consistent, and be able to go at it as hard as you want, and not hit it "off the planet" like an arms-only swing would.

When you think of golf swing, it is more of the lead, or left arm for a right-handed golf. But the right arm definitely comes in towards the body (hip) in the downswing.

If you can think of swinging your arms is if the are a unit with your body, not independent, you'll be surprised how much power and consistency you have. It seems counter-intuitive, but it's not. Try throwing a punch with just your arm, then put your body into it. Which one is more powerful.

For some golfers, it can also be a feel of your shoulders controlling the swing, not your hands and arms. Your legs are your contact to the ground, providing a stable base, and your shoulders drive your swing. That doesn't mean over the top coming down, but it means your hands, arms and shoulders move with your torso (core) throughout your golf swing, not independently.

Putting a clubhead cover under both armpits and hitting partial shots will give you a really good feel for this type of golf swing. Once you learn how to use your arms in your golf swing, you will have loads of power, and be more consistent.
