I am new to golf so I don't know the finer points of this, thanks for the info. If was to land 3 inches in front of a stick that had fallen from a tree, would it be improving the swing path to move the fallen stick which shouldn't be on the course in the first place?

Loose impediments may be removed, but you can't improve the area of your intended swing by breaking branches, matting down grass, or clearing a bunch of loose soil behind the ball with a practice backswing.

I used to hit my 3W off the deck really well ... until I changed my 3W.  I can hit Taylormade RBZ 3W with my eyes closed, but with Callaway 3W, it is completely the opposite.  Don't ask me why as I have no idea.

Some clubs just seem to be easier to hit.

Im not really a swing guy, but ive found that lower handicaps that struggle with longer clubs off the deck is usually set up or ball position related.
