Really? Do you have any proof of this? While I believe the shoulders should rotate perpendicular to the spine (in a circle), the shaft of the club will not. Why would it - it's not in line with your arms.

Its a feel thing... maybe not real.

My best tip would be to get lessons.

Mentally strong is just as important as physically strong.

DON'T KILL THE BALL !     Nice controlled swing will eliminate the fat shots and make for far better ball contact.

Also, for me, perhaps the single biggest game improvement factor was watching a Stack 'n tilt youtube video - amazing what keeping your head centered can do.

attach the arms to the body and swing the body; arms and hands cannot be trusted

LOL worst advice I have ever read.  Play at a real golf course with lightning fast greens with runoffs in 3 directions, take dead aim and see what happens.

When your playing at a 10+ handicap, its tough to pin point your spot on the green. I rather take middle middle middle of the green all day long, save you ton of strokes..

But few best tips i have learned,

When your shoulders stop rotating, stop rotating, thats your max rotation. Thought you can get a bit more out of your hips, but don't over stretch the upper body

If you over swing, think 3/4

Keep your head still, i know you see alot of pro's move there head, especially up and down, but thats mostly during the backswing, from there its still through impact.

loose is fast

on the forward swing use only your upper arms and let the rest of your body respond to the centrifugal force of the swing.

The game is played in your head and the course is just scenery, enjoy it.

Don't try and hit the ball. Swing and let the ball get in the way. Easier said than done!

3 Best tips- 1: read those Illustrated Jack Nicklaus paperbacks from the 70's. 2: When hitting driver, try to see the club hitting the bottom half of the ball- it keeps your head back. And 3: when hitting irons look at the front of the ball. This will help with the descending blow that gets the ball up in the air.

Aim for the middle of the green.

LOL at you....taking "dead aim" is not equivalent to "aim at the pin"......wow....

You don't have to wait until the back 9 to start drinking caesars.

I have 2, both from my grandfather.

I had been playing about a year (was 13) - "aren't you left handed? you should probably play left handed. I think it would help"

a year later (playing left handed) - "When it's your turn to play, hit the ball. The only unforgivable sin in golf is a 5 hour round with no one in front of you"
