Hi All!

I have a problem of my hands being WAY ahead of the ball at impact. So far in fact that I essentially have to wait after swinging so that the clubhead has to catch up. It is hard to explain so here is my latest swing vid:

I have tried almost everything I can think of. My best guess is that I am over-actively turning my shoulders? You can see my left shoulder is very fast on the onset. I have even tried not turning my shoulders at all consciously (by feel anyways, which I know is deceptive).

I need to get this fixed as it is costing me power (obviously) and it causes HUGE pushes because my hands do not roll over until much later. I am not asking you to watch the whole vid, but one or 2 swings will probably be enough to realize my swing is aweful.

Any tips or comments are appreciates both good and bad. Please help me fix this. I would go to teachers, but cash is tight right now...

Thanks in advance!

I do not agree that your hands are too far/way ahead of the ball at impact.

It seems to me that your core is stalling once you get towards impact, in that you don't keep moving through the ball(except with your hands and arms).

From the top of the swing moving towards impact you also move your butt and legs closer to the ball(crowding the ball) and your upper body gets more vertical as a result, to create space for the downswing.
