Most golfers are extremely right sided. What this means in the golf swing is that they have a tendency to over use the right hand and arm.
This results in a throwing action with the right arm coming down and releasing the angles in the elbow and wrist. This then results in the club head releasing too early through impact, and generally a thin or fat shot!
Try and control the release with the left hand. Both, uncocking and rotating the left hand through the shot. This will help stop the right hand and arm from working too hard in the downswing.
Also, the hands should return back under the left shoulder by impact. If not, as in the example above. The club head will have to release too early and a “flip” style action with the hands and wrists will be the result.
Try and drive your hands down to cover a spot past your left foot at impact. This is better known as the “Aim point Technique”. Basically, a spot on the ground to aim your hands at coming down!

Magic explanation thanks
hi jammo, been trying this, looking at my self in the wardrobe mirror. didnt realize how good looking i am. hope you and yours are well.
If you look at Tiger's swing you can see that when his hands are directly above the ball in the downswing that his club is still parallel to the ground and the club head is behind the hands at 9 o'clock ( the ball being at 6 o'clock). I think you need to swing down with your arms and make sure your hands reach this position and not release the club before the hands arrive over the ball. It feels like you are too far ahead of the ball and the club head too far behind but the club head catches if you let it .Doing this for some reason stops hanging back and lets you finish on your left side. It requires patience and confidence to swing like this and all pros do it.
the student has his sternum in front of the ball at impact. if he held lag from that position, he'd whiff the ball.
james, thnx so much for the video. i have learned this teknik in my short game from phil mikelsons hinge and hold method and vastly improved my chipin and pitches. i'm tryin to get it in my full swing with some success but still at it. i have bob clampetts book, stack and tilt, tgm and u name it i've read it. i think my problem has been is makin the clubhead my focus instead of the hands. what do u think? thnx a bunch, steve the golfer on a quest!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suffer from the same problem…he must of of hit alot of high shots…so I should be looking a foot or 4 inches in front of ball
Thanks James, This is exactly what I needed to maintain consistency with ball striking. Club face squares up beautifully. Now I can play the draw and the fade. I practiced with an alignment stick at the angle of where my shoulder and arm line would be at impact, same line you showed on the video. Got any video of knockdown fades?
This is a good start for me. I always wanted to know when to release the angle in the downswing. It seems like at the bottom center of the swing is this correct? Do you have anything for rolling the hands and club too far on the inside on the backswing?
I really suffer with early club head release before impact, so I will have a go at this drill and let you know. One thing that would have been good was to show him hit the ball with his new impact position.
