You're off to a good start. I'd do two things right now:

  1. Mind your camera angles. More square to face-on and get a down-the-line view. Read about them here: http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing .
  2. From the top of the backswing, feel as though you're pulling the handle and your hands down in the direction of the green arrow. It can't truly do it, but feel as though you're doing it. Right now the handle takes more of the red arrow route.

    • This is very much what I was thinking when I first read it through, but then he mentioned that he feels like he hits the hybrid and 7W solidly, but not the 3W. Last time I got fit, the fitter explained to me that the main thing with the shaft is to get you into a shaft that you can return the club to the ball accurately with. That makes me wonder if it really is a shaft issue and not just insufficient loft (it could be both too). @rod7515 - I would say look at what shaft you have in your 7W and try to match that in your 3W. It might want to be a little bit lighter and a little longer than the 7W shaft. When I say match, I mean brand, model, flex, etc. All of it except maybe a half inch longer and 10 grams lighter.
