Ok, in that case you are compensating for being under/off plane, and using what amounts to a hitter's simultaneous release, rather than the sequenced release of a swinger.
Perhaps you may even have more of a hitting pattern, hard to say without seeing your motion.
To get the feel for the sequenced release of the swinger, you need to feel the 'karate chop' of the pinky side of both hands going at the inside corner of the ball (see EdZ drills in my signature) (pitch elbow position) and the on plane uncocking THEN roll of the release.
Feel the toe of the club goes UP, UP, UP, plane on the backswing
Practice uncocking the left wrist on plane fully (clubface turned onto the plane), THEN let the pivot 'throw out' the clubface to square it up.
It is also very, very likely you have a ball position that is way too far back in the stance.
If you can post some video/pics it would help get to the bottom of things.

Thanks Edz, I do play it too far back. I swing, much more conducive to my stature, which is on the small side. I will work on uncocking first and then rolling. Would this not encourage throwaway though?

No, as long as the uncocking is done on plane (left wrist turned to the plane "karate chop") there is no way you can throw it away, the left wrist won't let it, it can't.
The roll is imparted by the pivot and its throw out action (massive rotor).
That is the beauty of the swingers release, the uncock and roll makes it nearly impossible to throw it away when done on plane.

Bucket hammered this one home for me! Throwaway can be initiated by an overwhelming desire to move FORWARD...understandable given the siren call of the fluttering flag in the distance! A classic seems as if scenario. If you like to shop for bargains I have a 2 for 1 deal for you! By uncocking the left wrist on an inclined plane you get DOWN and OUT. By vitue of the fact that you left arm is attached you will also go forward. By an effort to exlusively go forward from the top we end up bending the left wrist...instant misery! You cannot uncock and bend the left wrist at the same time. Check out Yoda's Left Wrist cock drill in Alignment Golf.
Indeed you are correct, worked on it last night, with the ball played more forward, club had time to rotate. Got to watch the ball position. Thanks Edz, your drill did the trick, amazing how well they work.

Glad to help Dodger, any time.
