    hitting the ball too low, losing distance

    I got the golfing machine book several months ago and it correlates well with what my GolfTEC instruction teaches.... so I have been practicing the flat left wrist, clubhead lag (forward swing bottom) and correct plane in my basement for a couple of months - I finally get out to the driving...
