So top priority should be swing path? I thought an out to in path with face open would be a slice where the ball starts left, where as my ball starts right and fades.

Yep thanks, working on an in to out path now. Do you think I suffer from early extension?

Ok changing impact is a difficult thing to do directly as it happens so fast, I'm more inclined to think about changing things on the backswing and setup to create a better impact as a result. Any ideas for that? Am I early extending? Grips good, I've got a training grip with grooves that I...

Ok how about a club shaft that points at the target, that would be nice

I think its being past parallel that contributes to the bad shots. Regardless, being short of parallel and more laid off will improve consistency. If being across the line was ideal then everyone would be striving for it, clearly this isn't the case, so I'm trying to correct the problem.

I hit a lot of push fades and some pulls. Is there any 'natural' fix I can implement to be laid off at the top instead of across the line?

Well I've been working on that for about 8 years with no success. Being connected helps a bit, but still not short of parallel. And there's no way I'm able to achieve a laid off position at the top of the backswing. When Tiger changed his swing for the first time around 1998, he went from being...

I've just practiced some early extension work, the correct feeling to me feels like my backside is moving away from the ball on the downswing instead of towards it, which creates a lot of room for me on the downswing. So I feel like I'm almost doing a tiger woods style squat on the downswing...

Sometimes I try to think of making a smooth takeaway. And to try and fix my problem I try to stay connected, where my upper right arm tries to not get too far away from my side on the backswing. This shortens my swing, but it's then still not short of parallel and it's still across the line.

Thanks for your advice! Please could you explain what you mean by the above rib cage thing? Do you mean I shift my weight forward towards the ball on the backswing or downswing? Thanks again, I'll take this on board

Here is a video of my golf swing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB3JD6P3vsY It's too long (overswing) and across the line. I would like to be short of parallel and laid off. How can I achieve this and fix that problem? Thanks, String22

Thanks pal, Chartham Park it is!

Hi all, Could anyone tell me where the nearest grass driving range open to the public is to central London? (no mats, hitting balls off grass) Thanks James
