Most effective drill to stop casting .... hand ahead of clubhead at impact

[rkim291968]

I have been going through a complete swing change through lessons.   1st few changes were easy b/c they were something I used to do before.  All I had to do was go back to the old ways before I picked up bad habits.   Flipping is another story.   A year ago, I noticed my shot having very high trajectory.  It probably got developed over time and got progressively worse until my swing video showed how bad it was.   After 3 - 4 weeks of drills, my hand is even with clubhead at impact.   That's at range practice when I am consciously trying to fix the flip with each practice swing.  During a round, I am still flipping (probably more than 50% of the time).   For those who had similar issue and fixed it, what was the most effective drill you did to fix it?

This is a common problem:

I would create a My Swing thread and post a video.

Usually flipping is caused by a key 1 and 2 issue. If your head moves you can flip to try to find the ball. If your weight isn't forward enough your CG is too far back and you will flip to find the ball.

Right off the bat, check your alignment and ball position. Sometimes the ball can creep back in the stance. To adjust you might end up flipping at the ball.

Here is a drill for flat left wrist at impact. I would set up the drill first and do a lot of slow motion to really get the movement and position down.

I tried a few drills: half swing drill, using a long club (made one myself), ....    Perhaps, I am not giving enough time for the drills to take effect and looking for a magic pill.

Lihu, I checked out other links on casting.  Thanks.   I will see what makes a best drill for me.

Looking at my video in slow mo, the most glaring thing is that my body is not shifting enough as shown in number of "video" instructions.

i struggle with this as well, it really does boil down to getting your weight forward whilst keeping the head steady.  this allows you to deliver the clubhead from the inside, with room to keep the hands ahead without having to flip at the ball to hit it.

For me the drill that helped fix the flip most was the pump drill and holding the lag longer, weight forward and steady head was not helping the flip much because I was still too "handsy".

Also I worked on dropping the hands first before firing the hips, to get the hands into a lower position before making the big move with the lower body, this is a Stacy Lewis tip that really helped me stop flipping and taking a divot after the ball.
