Falling away!

[Cali Golfer]

I've been golfing for years and it seems like just over the past 12 months I can't get off my left side during my back swing. The harder i try, the more i just flip my hands at the ball with no power behind it. I always seem to fall away from the ball and loose my balance at impact. I'm a single digit who relies heavily on his short game. I'm just looking for a drill that would help me get through the ball at impact and not fall away from it. Any suggestions?

I would suggest the "Gary Player drill". Literally walk through your shot. Natalie Gulbis' coach had her doing this for awhile also.

Revisit the grip.  Place each and every finger on the grip deliberately.  I find that the body tries to control when the hands are not due to sloppy connection. With a deliberate solid connection a person can use a small muscle hands and arms swing. With out ot there is no way.

+1 --subtle grip changes lead to plane changes.

When I fall away I look to my right hand dominating at transition of downswing. Clears up when I keep hands balanced.
