If you tend to have too much rotation in your swing, pitching can help. Practice small shots where the club does not need to open or close from forearm rotation. Your path will come from in to out, but the clubface does not turn down. This will help you feel your right hand function properly and then your left hand will ride along with it.
Many people naturally open the face too much. If you are pulling, the clubface will be too far open at impact. People also tend to be internally rotated, changing the angle of your hands. Once you correct your grip, you will hit the ball reliably and simply.
Adding your hands more to your swing does not cause the club to fall behind. In addition to getting the club in the right arc, it also generally makes your body work better, too.
We let the club lever and extend into the ball. This is something that happens naturally, so don't try to force it. Forcing positions create unpredictability in our swing. Here's how to avoid it.
