Hello TST members, would anyone be able to help me understand why I am flipping through impact? Usually the longer the club the more I flip for some reason. My ball flight is either a nice push draw, a big overdraw/ hook or the dreaded snap hook. Ball usually starts at target then turns over or starts right of target and then turns over. I don't really hit pull hooks too often or pulls at all. Please help me I feel I am on the verge of playing good golf.  I make great contact in the center of the club face. Sometims I get a toe struck hook that I can understand the left to right spin. Also hit some fat/thin shots with an occasional SHANK! Thanks for any and all advice.

Thanks @RandallT for the quick reply. I do appreciate it. I'm not sure how educated you are on analyzing the golf swing but I think you have helped me before. Do you think you could take a look at my most recent swing and see if it is indeed a flip. If not don't worry about it. I do appreciate the forum suggestions thanks.

I've visited your swing thread and looks like you're getting some contributors there, so congrats.

Keep at it, and you'll likely get to the topic of flipping there with it being more relevant to you, rather than just a generic topic of flipping which may or may not help your issue. 

When I chime in, it'll be more to just share my own common struggles  and provide encouragement as I'm learning all this like many of us here. I may have already, as I remember viewing a few of your videos.

I will say this: flipping may or may not be your priority. Everything that you do at impact happens based on things earlier in the swing.  

I've seen swing threads where the topic is getting to a good backswing for a very long time, and the problems in the downswing just begin to sort themselves out.

So be careful trying to fix things at impact - focus on getting guidance on where exactly your priority is. That's invaluable. 

Swing thread link for others, if they want to discuss Vinchrbzo's swing in particular.

    • Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced. 
    • oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
    • Day 189 2-20 Really focused on rotating the forearms today with wrist arched. Did some single arm swings as well. 
    • In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).
    • Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!
