Head to Lowes or HomeDepot . . . get you a piece of plexiglass about 1/4 inch thick . . . you can cut it down to about the size of a book . . . stick it a couple of inches behind the ball start with it about 6 inches or so behind it. . . try to miss the plexiglass . . . you can start by not even having a ball there . . . just make practice swings . . . hit the ground and miss the glass . . . then introduce the ball. As you get better inche the glass closer to the ball.

If you got a video camera . . .film your swing and stick it up . . . could be a lot of cluprits mechanically . . . "hanging back" . . . right shoulder working too vertical . . . losing the right wrist bend . . . flipping . . . weight not left enough . . who knows . . . but the board will MAKE you do it . . . but ultimately you need to address the root cause.
