Hi Guys,

I've come across a swing feel(I hate the word tip) I thought well worth sharing. For a while now I've been struggling with a weak cupped position at the top. It's stemmed from correcting an overactive hands early on issue. I'm now getting up on plane better, but find my hands cupped at the top leading to a slice I thought I'd eradicated ten years ago!

Try as I might I couldn't get my wrist flat at the top, until...

Over on Chuck Quinton's rotary forum a good buddy of mine reminded me of a feeling that works great. A feeling I'd never considered very important.

The idea is that at the top you simply feel like you're a waiter holding a tray in your right hand. Unless you're a contortionist or have a very poor grip you'll never overcook this move to any great degree and you'll feel very strong at the top (check it in a mirror). From here it's childs play to come down and through the ball as hard as you like.

Hope it helps.
