    Why do I hit the ground?

    try making a couple of practice swings and brush the grass with the club. this will give you a good idea about where your swing naturally bottoms out, you may find that you are trying to play the ball too far forward in your stance therefore catching the ground before the ball.

    460cc do we really need it?

    most club golfers do not need the big dog. a three wood struck sweetly will get you 200-260 yards depending on your clubhead speed. the problem with the driver is that on off centre strikes the large hitting area imparts massive side spin to the ball causing wild left to right or vice versa...

    Tempo drills

    try keeping the downswing the same pace as the takeaway and try to line the grip up with the centre of the left thigh at impact. this should help to stop the upper body out racing the lower body.
