I thought my flipping problem may have tied into pivot problems but I realized that the more aggressively I would pivot, the more I would flip. Now I don't know if this fact completely rules out that my pivot contributed to my flipping, but I do know how I was able to solve the flipping . . . I started paying attention to the fact I was overaccelerating from the top and almost immediately losing the lag pressure on pressure point #3 on full swings (not on short shots). I started working on acquired motion, really feeling PP #3 load in the backswing and maintaining that heavy feeling through impact. It was absolutely remarkable how different it felt. Once I videotaped this swing I realized that my newly acquired feel was not lying, I was indeed maintaining the lag pressure. I slowly increased my acceleration and my swing length and in about 5 minutes total I had transformed my action through the ball! It all started with REALLY feeling PP#3 load and remain loaded.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
