Trail Hand Open

The ultimate anti-flip release drill

This is one of the best anti-flip drills for feeling how the trail arm should work on top of the shaft as opposed to working underneath it. Take your normal set up, then open your trail hand (right hand for right handed golfer) and hit 9-3 shots. If you feel a gaping between your hands then you are flipping. Pay attention to your pinky, it will want to grip the club if you aren't aware of it.
