I’ve been lifting hard the past few months and gained 10 pounds of muscle. My strength is great, but I’m now shanking the ball.

    Muscle is great but your problem now is your flexability. That is the only problem. When people get big they forget about stretching properly and lose their flexability.

    Keep pracitcing you are probably swinging faster than you normally would, but just don’t realize it. Slow down your swing speed. Pros only swing 85% of what they can fully swing. It is not a race.

    Look at Tiger, his swing used to be beautiful but now he has fallen in love with bodybuilding and his swing has gotten worse. But you just don’t play enough from what I’ve heard.
