My Swing (dtambo)

[dtambo]

I've been Playing Golf for: seriously about a year or two, but for fun about 10 years.
My current handicap index or average score is: average score 93-103
My typical ball flight is: Pull-Slice is what I'd call it.  Ball starts going left of target then ends up going back right of target.  This really hasn't been much of an issue except on especially narrow fairways.
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: My biggest issue is I've started taking a huge divot.  Many times I catch ground before ball.  I still hit the ball, but not getting any distance like I should be.  This has even started to show up commonly with my driver!

First thing first: http://thesandtrap.com/settings/signature/ go there and adjust your signature. We have a new site and the signatures didn't all make it across intact.

Second, because of the way you pivot during the backswing, it makes it difficult for you to do two things:

1. Get the arms down in sequence (they're late).
2. Get your weight forward properly.

Both of those make it tough to achieve "Key #3" (Inline Impact).

Check this thread out:

After that's better, let's take a look at how your arms work, but if you can, while working on the above, strive to maintain more "structure" in your arms so they don't collapse quite as much as currently.

Thanks iacas,  Updated my sig, thanks for letting me know about that.  As for my swing, I'll dive into that thread you linked to and see what all I can find out.  You mention strive to maintain structure so that my arms don't collapse.  What exactly do you mean by that?  If you don't mind me asking.
