Early release and quitting

[teach]

I'd appreciate help with fixing early release and quitting, resulting in fat full swings and stubbed pitches. Thank you.

I'd say you've come a far way now that you're aware of the symptoms. It appears as you are playing with a low point that happens before you strike the ball.

If you complete your diagnosis you will learn a valuable lesson. So my question is: What is preventing you from having the bottom of your swing on the other side of the ball?

I went through a period of struggling with this with short pitches and that used to be the best part of my game..... Conclusions: with a thought towards the steady feel of lag pressure it goes away. The enemy is Throwaway. Plane and simple.

I totally agree,

And the strange thing is, when the long game is really on it's basically the same thing there.

Mechanically, I believe that I straighten the right arm too early and lose the bend in my right wrist (loss of right forearm flying wedge?).

Mentally, I think that I suffer from a "hit impulse."

Any other/further thoughts out there? Drills? Different way of thinking?

Thank you.

teach,

There's nothing wrong with a hit impulse as long as you do it in a productive way.

There may be several faults in your pattern that causes this. Shoot a video so we can see what you're talking about.
