Add some float loading?

[bew69]

I would probably characterize my swing procedure as hitting. I tend to swing to the end, however, which leads to double cocking and an early release because the clubhead bounces back. Once the centrifugal force takes over I'm dead in the water -- no lag.

I have tried hard to stop at the top (rather than the end) and to keep the left wrist flat, but when I do that my release feels wooden and inadequate. After watching "confessions of a former flipper" and hearing Brian's comment about float loading, I'm wondering if I shouldn't try to add a little bit of float loading to the downswing on all full shots. My theory is that if I add some float to the downstroke then the shaft is moving toward my right shoulder rather than away from it and therefore should enhance my chances maintaining clubhead lag. I'm concerned though about inconsistency, aside from the fact that from my experience it takes some courage to float load.

Any advice guys? Anything wrong with a hitter adding some float loading to the downswing?
