I've been trying to get rid of my flip and add lag as long as I've been golfing, with just about zero luck. The other day I started taking swings and removing my right hand completely at the top of the swing and realized I wasn't flipping at all, perfect impact position. This made me realize my right hand was the likely culprit, so I tried something I have never heard anyone recommend and I'd like to know if anyone has tried this or heard of it:

From the start of my downswing, I started pulling "up" with my right hand- almost like I was fighting the downswing. What resulted was a powerful strike with tons of lag and almost no flip. I've posted some before and after shots. If you're looking to stop casting, try this and let me know what you think. I haven't been able to try it at the range because it's been raining for a week solid. Thanks!

The flip is a very popular topic on TST. It has been discussed multiple times. We even have a master thread.

As for what's best for you? I'd recommend you start a my swing thread and follow the instructions for posting your swing and then wait for someone like @mvmac to give you some advice and follow it. The flip can be overcome. I can say that when I first found this site 6 or 7 years ago my swing was only slightly better than yours. Not saying I am perfect but I have improved quite a bit.

Yeah do this @mdg74. The fix will most likely be something that happens well before impact.

One quickie thing to help.
