I can't say that I have fixed it as the Sh**ks still pop up every now and again, but I think that's just because I don't focus on what I need to be doing. What I focus on is keeping my right elbow pushing in towards my left arm during the backswing, this helps prevent it from lifting and flaring way behind me which pushes my right hand forward while my left hand is trying to go back. When I do this correctly my right elbow is in the proper position for my downswing. This also helps the right shoulder to actually turn back instead of pushing forward. And lastly I try to keep my right hand flat, like holding a tray or pizza at the top of my swing. The toe of the club is a little open compared to how it should be when the club is parallel to the ground on the backswing, but it's the only way, as of now, that helps prevent it. For your grip, I would look around the site as there are a couple good threads on how to properly grip the club. Best way is to lift the club off of the ground while you're gripping it, this has helped me to prevent the clubface being closed. Hopefully that makes sense?

And side note, where my daughter got married this past Friday.

Didn't see the headcover, but I don't use the one that comes with the driver anyways so it wouldn't have any impact on my buying decision.

It's a nice looking driver, but don't think a paint job would convince me to replace my current driver.

I wouldn't necessarily say you should shorten the 3-wood, if you're having trouble hitting it you could always choke down on it. But it sounds like it's more of a swing issue than it is a shaft length issue.

When Golf Galaxy opens back up, if it hasn't already to walk in customers where you are at, I would recommend to go and hit some clubs to get a feel for what you are looking for and talk to the folks working there. It's hard to say if each store is good, but talking to them will give you an idea if that person knows what they are talking about. If they don't, at least you'll have an opportunity to hit different clubs and shafts.

I agree with this, and maybe the bold text is what I felt was missing with the posts I responded to.

I don't know the answer and in no way did I say to ignore racial disparities, I simply stated that I don't like generalizations. Again, at the end of the day we are in agreement on what needs to happen.
