I agree; with a proper spine tilt you're probably not flexible enough to overswing the way you do.   Practice with a club across the front of your shoulders, handle facing left, crossing your arms on your chest to hold the...

Something to keep in mind is that if you're swinging on an ideal path (many instructors try to teach a mild in-to-out path), then a slightly closed club face will be a pull-hook, and a slightly open club face will be a straight...

You're very flat in the shoulder plane at the top of the backswing.  Very flat.  This means your swing begins its rotation swinging out (like a baseball bat) rather than down into the slot (like a golf club).  If you...

I bought one of these sets with overly-strong lofts, but it came with GW included, and I stopped using the 4i (I have a hybrid for that instead).  So basically you could just subtract one from the number on each club, and it's a...

Take my advice with a grain of salt: I'm one of those golfers who's "not even as good as you".  Also, I haven't seen your swing, making me extra-underqualified to give you this advice.  But, since you asked:   Move...

A very large divot could mean you're coming in too steep, which isn't a problem when you hit the sweet spot, but it gives you less margin of error; the steeper the descent of the club, the fatter a shot is where the arc is 1 inch too...

I think the evidence (his record) shows that the swing that gave him the best chance of winning was the Woods swing, with which he used to dominate the planet (golf-wise).  Mechanically imperfect though it may have been, he was...

If you hit your irons and hybrids well, and they draw, then that says good things about your swing.  The fact that you get push-fades with your longer clubs probably means you're swinging similarly, but just leaving the face...

If you have the ball sitting down on fairway-tight grass, the divot shouldn't be very far in front.    Why worry about it, though? Pay attention to feel.  Your hands know it when the contact is thin.  You want a...

If you click pause quickly enough, there's a frame where you're nearly at impact, the club being still about parallel with the ground on its way to the ball.  In that frame, to my eyes it looks like your body's in a very good...
