thats good, fundementals are extremely important. keep it up. my only advice (not knowing his situation or how good you are) that I wish someone told me when I first started, is be keep your arms and hand as RELAXED as posible throught out the whole swing. dont even swing harder as you get closer to the ball as an attemp to "accerlate" at impact (which is a good thing). but when you try to accerate you will tighen up and loose so much power. As a man, I know it to be extrememly hard, but for some reason we think to hit it far we have to hit it hard. I have never hit better in my life untill finding this out. the more relaxed you are the looser the hinge ( hands) will be and the greater lag and power you will get. not only does it give you a lot more distance, but it also promotes a more natural downswing which gives you great accuracy.
