In regards to my golf swing, I am able to complete everything which I know to be correct. Straight left elbow, wrist hinge, release, follow-through, etc. I can only do this though when on a practice swing. The difference is that on my practice swing, I look back with my head to check my arms, hands, etc. When I address the ball and try to keep my head still, I cannot get the club head where I feel it should be without bending my elbows and destroying my back swing. If I complete a correct swing while addressing the ball, I cannot achieve even a moderate amount of power or club head speed leaving me with poor results. Why is this? What can I do to keep using a correct golf swing while producing even average golfer results off the tee.

Any advice you may have will be much appreciated!

To answer your question , it is quite simple .  You are thinking too much over the ball. In golf there are 2 modes, first you have the training mode and second is the trusting mode. The trusting mode starts as soon as you r club is behind the ball, one must trust that your body will repeat what you have trained. As soon as you start thinking about it then you have lost all power and consistency. Try some Yoga to help you stretch and relax your mind so you can start trusting more.

How do you hit a draw ?

To hit a draw you must aim your feet and shoulders to the right of target , then swing the club on an inside  - out plane releasing the club with your whole right side by rotating your right arm both down and over prior to hitting the ball . It is easy to do if you are relaxed with a light grip , my suggestion is to take a lesson , so someone can see what you are doing and then make the correct adjustments.

No matter what I do I always hit the ball right. It starts out straight but ends up right no matter what I do to change it. I feel like I am doing the right thing but I am not sure. I know it could be a number of things, but what are the biggest reasons for this.

Your problem is one that is not all that uncommon.   

A shot that starts straight and fades to the right is indicative of a good swing path, but an open club head at impact.  That means you are doing at least something good -- your swing path is right in line.  What a probable reason why your clubface is open at impact typically starts with your set-up.   Assure that before you take the club back, the clubface is square to the target.  Then, as you take the club back, work on keeping your club head outside of your hands.  Meaning, at hip high, the clubface is pointing slightly downward, and your club head is slightly outside of your hands.  Complete your back swing without over hinging your wrists at the top, and then simply release your club head down and through impact.  Never try too hard.  Easier said than done, I understand, but the more tension you create by gripping the club or not making a good rotation, the harder it is to be consistent.   

 I hope this helps.  Feel free to write us back anytime!
