Thanks, I have been working on getting a better ball first then the ground. I have been focusing on the ground after the ball. I think this is better way to work on the extension and sequence.

G'day Erika,
I am now getting used to the recent addition of new instructors with Golf Pass. In this instruction, I am guessing the 'X' is about the distance from the club head to the bottom of the grip.

Hi Erika. Certainly a useful tip. I'm wondering whether you are looking at the ball or the 'X' during the downswing?

How do you turn hips so you don’t early extend I end up shanking

Thanks. I have trouble with my driver if I adjust with more draw I hit it to the left if I have less draw I hit to the right.I have a big Bertha adjustable driver. What am I doing wrong ?

I have a habit of "topping" the ball, and don't make divots. What would be your advice?

Used your suggestion today on the course and saw great improvement. Only tendency is to pull the ball on occasion. Draw is coming in nicely though. Thanks!
