Need Help with Balance

[Tball88]

Ok, shot a 76 today, which I'm relatively happy with, however, I have one problem that keeps creeping up and I need a drill to help. Oftentimes with the longer clubs, I have a tendency to really start down too hard, throw my hands forward(smart enough to realize I need to keep my right wrist bent) and I hang back. Result is oftentimes a hook, because I run out of right arm and have to unbend the right wrist.

It's almost like I throw the arms forward, but the body backwards. Anybody got some good ideas as to how I can break this habit.

Thanks

At impact, your shoulders should be about 35° open.

Your tailbone a couple of inches further toward the target than at address, and your head just slightly BACK of where it was at address.

All of this MUST be lead by the hips which will be 50° open at impact.

Just like I prescribe on "Never Hook Again."

Brian, I believe I actually purchased this when you sold the video shorts on your old web site. If we've lost our password, how can we get it again. Apparently, I need to review again.

Thanks

I'm going to write this down in my golf notebook so I can remind myself of this periodically......beautiful
