Is that actually what's going on? I can't tell without video. I can tell you that this idea of the hands lagging behind has caused me more trouble than I care to think about. Making a nice, smooth, synchronized swing produces good results for me. I'm also a 23 handicap - so take that into consideration.

As for your gear, get thee to a clubmaker. Get it spec'd for loft and true flex. Your S may be an A, or soft R. If you're truly gaining more clubhead speed, then you very well could be overpowering the shaft.
