In this lesson, Craig Jones breaks down one of the biggest faults in the golf swing — the hang back flip move. This is when the body stalls, the hands flip, and you end up with fat shots, thin shots, and no real compression.

Craig shows you how to fix it with simple drills that teach you to:

Lead with the handle through impact

Hit ball first, then turf

Keep your weight forward for solid contact

Trap the ball on the face to create real backspin

You’ll see easy visuals like the “tee in the ground” and the “pencil gate drill” that give you instant feedback and help you build the right low point control. These moves will get you striking down, compressing the ball, and hitting your irons solidly.
