Look at the ball when playing a golf shot.  My head seems programmed to jerk up.?

Do not lift your head until you right shoulder touches your chin on the follow thru.Tilt your head to the right just a bit so when you make contact the ball will be in flight and your head will lift up in a natural motion.\nRemember you cannot hit what you can't see.If you lift your head before you try and make contact you will always whiff it.

If you are pulling the ball left, it's because you are not swinging straight through the ball.  Maybe just getting you thinking about a good swing path will cure any other related flaws.\n\nMake a box out of six tees by making two parallel rows of three tees each. The rows should be about 12 inches long and 6 inches apart.\nLooks like this:\n* * *\nswing-path \n* * *\nPractice swinging with your driver making the club path go through the box (i.e. through the two parallel rows) without hitting a tee. This exercise will help you see flaws and teach you to swing straight through the ball.\n\nOne additional reason I like this exercise is that when you don't swing right, you have to stop and fix the tee box - penalty.  If you swing right, the box is still there ready to go again and this helps with building muscle memory of the good swing.

I try to keep the face as flat as possible through the stroke.  However if I am digging out a low ball I need to creat a slightly open face to gain net clearance.  I meet the ball just a little out in front of my body.  Most club players lose directional contol by taking the ball too early or too late.  They are either pulling the ball to one side too often or not hitting the ball as crisply as they could.  I had a friend who is a 5.5 / open class player work with me on the shot and we covered the finer mechanics involving shoulders, hips, and balance through the stroke.

Try to use stiff shaft, I used to use Regular shaft but after I have changed the shaft to stiff, I can hit it \nmuch further than before and also straighter, so go can change your shaft immediately.\nHAPPY GOLFING!

You dont want to turn off your java. It runs a lot of your applications so that you can see text, etc. While shooting pool, java insures that the balls move smoothly across the table without jerking. Smooth Transition is what it's all about. Larry Radioshack 01-9590

don't knock the 8-ball in until last, unless you're playing straight pool........ keep your eye-level as low as possible, use a smooth stroke.

Pro golfers generate clubhead speed through technique which combines body rotation, armswing and wrist snap or rotation, and they've worked to put the three together to create the incredible clubhead speeds they generate.\n\nOf course, it's impossible to give a real answer to your question, since I've not played with you and haven't seen you swing, but from the tone of your question, I would look at two things to start -\n\nFirst, when you're driving from a tee, the ball should be a little bit forward in your stance, and the clubhead should be level or starting on its upward arc when you strike the ball.  If the ball is back and the clubhead is still on its downward arc, you're going to lose a great deal of driving distance.\n\nSecond, you need to make sure that you hit *through* the ball and complete your swing.  If you are only swinging *to* the ball, you're going to be slowing down your swing before the clubhead reaches the ball, resulting in lost distance.  You need to take a full swing, and just let the ball get in the way.

This has happened to me a few times. \n\nThe "thing" loose inside the head is a piece of the epoxy broken off and just rattling around in there. It won't hurt anything, it's just kind of annoying. \n\nBack in the old days I drilled a small hole in the back of my driver and shot some expanding foam in there....that worked then, however I don't think it will work now. \n\nYou can take it to a PGA pro and they can take the head off and shake out your little rascal, but my advice would be to just leave it in there and keep on slappin it!

Good answer tyler, simple, but it is true, just play without worry, i am going to use that, thanks.\n\nsome advice is what i always say to people, sort of like tylers answer, Just grip it and rip it.  You cant overthink the game or it will kill you.  If u are still having trouble try just using a half swing for a bit and just foucus on hitting the ball and not worry about where it goes.\n\ngood luck and have fun

Several suggestions for how to improve your game off the tee.\n\n1) Try using a 3-wood instead of a driver. For most high handicap golfers the difference in distance is not a big change, but the accuracy and consistency improve dramatically.\n\n2) Slow and steady on the back swing. While you need to get the club in motion, having a fast backswing just screws up your balance. Practice by taking the club back very slowly and you will see quick improvement.\n\n3) Let the club do the work! Overswinging will only result in topping the ball or having a wicked slice or hook. Establishing a nice easy rythmn will give you the most consistent swing.

I guess you're just a not-even-one-minute-man. I think you should just practice. Like, try to hold it in.

Moving the ball back in your stance is very dangerous.  The ball can go way right on you.  Making proper contact and the type of ball you use are the key.  You have use a ball that will spin.  Balls like Pinnacle, Top Flite, and HVC don't have a lot of spin.  Pro vi is good.  Your groves should be clean, and you can't spin the ball out of flier lies.  Which are grassy lies.  The club hitting the ball and the ground pinch  the ball and create the spin.  You may want to go to www.playgolfamerica.com and take a free golf lesson from a PGA pro in your area.  You can also go to www.pga.com improve your game section and look at all the tips.

shorten your backswing and make a conscious effort to swing through the ball( also called releasing the club)\nGo to the driving range and try this, just focusing on making good solid contact with a good follow through and don't try and kill it. nice easy swings and see how far it goes.
