Quick question, I’ve been told by a few local coaches and guys, that I’m too.

Quick question, I’ve been told by a few local coaches and guys, that I’m too overactive in my trail hand, causing to flip and not compress the ball. Also been told the chicken wing etc etc…..assuming these are true, should I focus on the trail side swing or the lead side swing? And which will allow me to grow into a better golfer no matter if it takes longer. I would really appreciate some feedback before I renew my subscription for the upcoming season! Ps. It feels like I am always hearing that the best of the best use a lead side dominant swing and it offers more control, I even remember something about chuck talking about tiger having a natural draw lead side release? And that it pairs better with a lead dominant swing? Long time ago…so might be me fiddling up. If that’s true, (please correct me if not!) shouldn’t I focus on that rather than trail side dominant? A little confused so that’s why we ask for experts! I’m also already swinging at 115 average with driver, but it is not effortless lol. I’m young and have plenty of time and I’d love to commit to one if I can or one at a time is kinda what I’m thinking is what might happen? Thanks for all responses! And enjoy the weekend! :smile: :thanks: :thanks:

Hello Matthew. There are a few ways to think about this conundrum. However, my thought would be go trail side. You seem to create plenty of power but it sounds like it isn't effortless. You need to tame the beast and correctly use teh trail side. This IMO would be the quickest way for you to see results. Both sides do have a role in the swing. But, even if you switched to lead you would have to train the the trail not to take over. Let's just correct the flip.
