Any tips or drills? PGA/LPGA TEACHING PROFESSIONAL RESPONSES: California "Dear Tony: # 1...Check your Alignment. # 2...Do one arm drills (left and right).  This will train your hands to be in the correct position at impact. # 3...There are a lot of drills to help you release your hands sooner. What would a right-handed baseball player do to hit the baseball to left field?"  - David Ruvolo, Teaching Professional Utah "Hi Tony. The drills that I teach for left side strong is as follows. Get an old club like a 6 iron or something. Could even be a wood. Find an old tire or duffle bag with old clothes in it for padding.  Practice hitting the club into the bag or tire forcing a strong left side (right handed golfer). Make sure you are fully extended at impact and your hips are in a strong position. This will help you build a strong left side. Continue doing this until you feel comfortable. Let me know how it goes and we can build on this." - Brent Wootton, Teaching Professional Virginia "Tony: It's not so much that the hands are ahead of the ball, but that the clubface is open through impact. And that in turn, is usually caused by a "weak" grip. At address, with the clubface square to the target, i.e. the bottom line of the clubface perpendicular to the target, your hands are probably straight up and down on the grip. With the clubface still square to the target, rotate both hands clockwise, to 2 o'clock on the grip. Take a few swings with that grip and let your hands and forearms rotate the shaft coming through, and pretty soon you'll be hitting some hooks." - Bob Benning, Teaching Professional
