Stop standing up at impact

Standing up out of your posture just before you strike the ball leaves you no room and forces your hands to flip. All you need to fix it is your own club and the feeling of a wall against your head.

What standing up at impact looks like

Standing up at impact is losing your posture while trying to hit the golf ball. You make a nice backswing, and on the way down you stand up out of your posture. Suddenly there is no room anymore, and you will probably flip your hands at the ball — something you do not want. When you hit the golf ball, you want to keep your posture until you reach the ball, and only stand up from there. The fault is simply standing up too early.

The wall drill

A nice way to practice this is with your own club. Take your setup, extend your arm, and hold the shaft vertically. From here, feel like there is a wall up against your head, and keep your head up against that wall. Now slide your other hand underneath the shaft, as if swinging through impact. If you do not keep your posture, that hand comes in closer to your body, the shaft points towards you, and you will hit it. Keep the shaft on the same vertical plane and slide your hand underneath it — do that, and you know you have kept your posture.

Take it to the ball

Bring the same feeling to a real shot. Feel like you are up against the wall, stay low through the strike, and only extend up after the ball is gone. If that does not help you with standing up at impact, I do not know what does. Good luck practicing.
