Quick thoughts on a cure:
1) without a ball and without a club - just take the right forearm back and through until you've reached the follow-through position of the right arm straight AND in this drill make sure the right wrist is still COMPLETELY bent. So you should be feeling that your right wrist is bending more and more as you get closer to the follow-through location of the right arm straight- because you have been flattening it out before but not feeling as if it is flattening.
2) While you are doing #1- and pretending to hit a ball- you need to make sure that a) you are hitting slightly down on the ball and b) that downward effort is continued all the way until you have arrived at the follow-through location of the right arm straight and the right wrist bent.
3) This motion should really be just a chip shot motion/length 12-5-1. Important to visually check everyone of these motions at the follow-through location without the ball and club and also when you've added the ball and club. Did you achieve what you wanted? Did you hold it and check it every time? Or did you pay attention to the ball flight or lack there of and not check it? Make sure that when you get to the follow-through location - that you have "run out of energy"- since that is your finish location on a chip - you SHOULD be finished.
4) Maybe kick it up on a punch shot (that low shot under the tree) with more power at some point and then you'll transition from that motion to the swivel- but then the swivel will work properly as you've set it up to work.

That said - unless you've got a really grooved pattern- you currently get some thin shots, fat shots, etc. - thats' the flipping (maybe some shanks also)

What you describe there is pretty much my chipping and pitching practice. Which I do 4-5 nights a week. And pretty much how I stopped flipping. As a result my chipping and pitching has become pretty good.

No I am not very good at golf yet. But hope to get good enough to enjoy it more.

90% of my bad shots are a result of poor pivot... don't bump hip and bad shot ensues. I have worked on this for months and still screw up a couple times a round. My other bad shots tend to be just short, didn't drive through the ball cleanly and ball goes a bit left or right due to poor clubface control. I went through phases of what you describe, before devoting most of my practice time to chipping and pitching.
