How can you fix a problem... Without a teacher?

I think I might have worked it out...

the key for me was thinking of an image I found in Hogan's 5 lessons. The one where an elastic band is atached to your left hip, and to strat the downswing it snaps back causing you to start the swing with your hips. I've always had a problem starting with my hands, and this really helped me I think.

This is all based on feel and sound, hitting into a net. I am probably going to the range tomorrow.

However, something doesn't feel right. I think the problem is that I am still not compressing the ball - I don't kno exactly what that feels like, but I still don't think I m doing it.

So I will ask my teacher about that Tuesday.

You've gotten plenty of advice so far. A quick note, Check out my video golf lesson I call it Golf's Most Important Lesson and pay particular attention to the Line Drill. It is a simple drill, but has been one of my most effective over the years. The Line Drill is a task oriented drill that can help you teach yourself between lessons.
