i don't believe the pro is trying to teach to to draw (hook) the ball, that's crazy your just starting out, he should be working on tempo and contact, every ones swing is different and he should be working on what fits you,grip is the biggest thing with ball flight (weak normal strong) stand with your arms relaxed at your side witch way is the back of you hand facing, this will give you an idea of how you grip the club, facing more forward youll need a stronger grip.being as tall as you are you probably do need longer clubs.you should only be working on one or two thing right now and that should be tempoand a balanced finish, and solid ball conact, (in 5 to 10 years from now when you get that down to a pat then you can start to work the ball purpously left and right lol just kidding). oct. 4th just go and golf and have a good time dont fill your head with so many thoughts that you couldnt posibly hit the ball descent, golf is suposed to be fun, go drink some brews with the boys and have fun, there probebly not any better than you any way.
