In regards to my golf
swing, I am able to complete everything which I know to be
correct. Straight left elbow, wrist hinge, release,
follow-through, etc. I can only do this though when on a
practice swing. The difference is that on my practice swing,
I look back with my head to check my arms, hands, etc. When
I address the ball and try to keep my head still, I cannot
get the club head where I feel it should be without bending
my elbows and destroying my back swing. If I complete a
correct swing while addressing the ball, I cannot achieve
even a moderate amount of power or club head speed leaving
me with poor results. Why is this? What can I do to keep
using a correct golf swing while producing even average
golfer results off the tee.
Any advice you may have will be much appreciated!
To answer your
question , it is quite simple . You are thinking too much
over the ball. In golf there are 2 modes, first you have the
training mode and second is the trusting mode. The trusting
mode starts as soon as you r club is behind the ball, one
must trust that your body will repeat what you have trained.
As soon as you start thinking about it then you have lost
all power and consistency. Try some Yoga to help you stretch
and relax your mind so you can start trusting more.

How do you hit a draw ?
To hit a draw you must aim your
feet and shoulders to the right of target , then swing the
club on an inside - out plane releasing the club with your
whole right side by rotating your right arm both down and
over prior to hitting the ball . It is easy to do if you are
relaxed with a light grip , my suggestion is to take a
lesson , so someone can see what you are doing and then make
the correct adjustments.

No matter what I do I always
hit the ball right. It starts out straight but ends up right
no matter what I do to change it. I feel like I am doing the
right thing but I am not sure. I know it could be a number of
things, but what are the biggest reasons for this.
A shot that starts straight and
fades to the right is indicative of a good swing path, but an
open club head at impact. That means you are doing at least
something good -- your swing path is right in line. What a
probable reason why your clubface is open at impact typically
starts with your set-up. Assure that before you take the
club back, the clubface is square to the target. Then, as you
take the club back, work on keeping your club head outside of
your hands. Meaning, at hip high, the clubface is pointing
slightly downward, and your club head is slightly outside of
your hands. Complete your back swing without over hinging
your wrists at the top, and then simply release your club head
down and through impact. Never try too hard. Easier said
than done, I understand, but the more tension you create by
gripping the club or not making a good rotation, the harder it
is to be consistent.
