How to stop the flip

An important part of the right forearm and wrist action is not well understood. Yet, it is what causes the flip to occur if not done right.

Your right arm needs to pronate a bit to get into an anatomical position where it can straighten. If not, the arm cannot straighten. Try this for yourself. It's like a karate or martial arts punch. There is a rotation of the arm as it punches forward. If left in an uppercut punch position, the arm has a difficult time straightening. Make sense?

I thought the left wrist/forearm did all of this "work", not the right? I believe I use my right arm too much already, I seem to hit much better shots when I left my do the work. When I use my right arm things go bad for me.

This was a common error where the left hand/arm can do all it wants but if the right does not cooperate, it can turn a potentially good release into a flip.

If you'll send back your old one, I'll retrofit it to be the same as the new one. Contact me at speedchain@gmail.com. The new grip is much better.

"hold your right hand in front of you and rotate your wrist forward and bring your pinky up" - this is so ambigious i have no idea what you mean - can you please elaborate further? is my palm facing towards my face? parallel to ground. rotate what which way? a video would be much better.

@dfvboulder listen man, I have one of these things and I can assure you it trains your body. It's kind of like smiling. You can feel an emotion (body) and cause a smile (hands releasing lag properly and rotating), or you can smile and trigger the emotion(true story, btw). That, and I open my hips very quickly and still flip so I know that's not the sole cause. You can't release the club the way this trains and get the bearing to snap at impact without your body moving close to properly.

This is silly. No mention whatsoever of the body. The guy in the video comes over the top because he never gets to the inside on the backswing. He needs a turn to do that. Likewise, all his problems with flipping stem from never opening his hips to the target on the forward swing. If the did that, he could lead with his left and rotate his right.

There's an old saying that applies here: If we taught sex like we teach golf, the human race would have long been extinct.

Full swing putting stroke. Nice!

Wait...I think I saw that guy's legs move towards the end of his swing.  It was shocking.

the left arm controls the swing ,,and right adds power, but both hands must work together. let the left wrist stay above the right wrist at and thru impact, stick a tee in your glove at the top of the left hand and watch what the tee does with this impact drill then learn to release to a full finish

Kelvin - this is brilliant and I haven't seen this anywhere else in several years of reading and viewing loads of stuff.

Thanks

And this matters to the golfball in what way?
