All I'm saying is if he club head isn't on the target side of your hands you might want to be careful about pulling on it

Lower hand on top of shaft, behind the sweetspot, right??... for me, I think of nsa2 right hand explanation by Brian. Every so often I'd start shanking chips/pitches and couldn't figure out why. After watching the video, I UNDERSTOOD what I was doing wrong and no longer happens anymore. I capitalized that word for significance, it's so important, and I can't tell you how much Bmanz and crew has helped. If you open the face, supination, lead with hosel and pull on the handle, you're gonna have some trouble.. did I explain this decently? Am I on the right track?..

Target line side of hands? I still struggle with dragging the handle at times and it really is a tough deal when that happens. I really wish you guys would put together a "how to do it" video for us struggling ones. If I chip and pitch using my left hand only(trail hand) I can use the bounce really well but when I add the top hand into the mix it sometimes messes me up. I know that my short game in general is one of the things that costs me shots on a regular basis along with my course management.
 
Hope this helps:

Looks like he goes into a negative gamma look at and through impact, no?

Basically, as I see it, golfers who are struggling with pitching are having a hard time feeling the proper deceleration of the arms to and through impact. That deceleration effectuates the proper hand action but crucially, utilizes the bounce in the proper fashion. Make the club work like a club.

With a limited arm swing its hard to feel, and thus, achieve that deceleration.

Arm deceleration leads to club acceleration. You feelin that kinetic flow?

Man if they weren't here tearing out my driveway right now I would be over practicing. I wonder if they would mind if I pitched a few around the yard while they were working?:cool:
 
Chipping yips are awful, I was really struggling with my chipping/short pitch shots for about a year or so, funny thing was I could chip/pitch like a champ one handed(right arm). would do it on the course sometimes and was straight money, put two hands on the club and the wheels came off.

Anyway, I have finally fixed it, would hit a bunch with my right hand and slowly put my left on the club, but don't really use the left hand, I think using the left got me under plane and too much drag. Also when I would use two hands, had a tendency to stand up a bit(hump the goat) and hit the dreaded hozel rocket.

The most frustrating part of being a handle dragging convert is sometimes I just revert back and become totally clueless.
