Thanks Norrin . . . Only problem with teaching is I'd have to wear pants to work.

Thanks Bucket...Get the pivot right is easier said than done. I can compress the ball with an acquired motion, but the pivot is not good enough for a full swing. The shoulder toward the ball, and the right forearm in line with the shaft make the ball travel very straight, but no compression for me yet on full shots, and divots starting at the ball tell me my pivot is not right. Possibly the shoulders slowing down and /or losing the flat left wrist... I have to go to the range to figure this out.

Again, thanks for the posts.

Two possibilities here, Wade.

1) Coming up and out of the shot before you get the club head down to low point - symptomatic of steering, or

2). Running out of right arm. Right arm straightens before you get beyond the ball.

Correction for both is the same. Aim to hit an imaginary ball just on the target side of the one you are actually playing. To do this properly you will need to set up so there is still some bend in your right elbow at impact fix.

Keep that bend there until impact itself. It takes pereverence but is satisfying when you get it right.
