Your lower body is outracing your upper body (shoulders/arms and hands). Start slow. Get your 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 shots going straight. Increase only to the next level when you are consistent at the lowest level. Go back 1 level if you have to. You will start to get the feel and when you get to 100%, you might be surprised at where you only need to be to get a full shot in. Most will over do just about everything about every aspect about the swing, thinking that more is always better. Seeing the massive cuts that the pro's take at the ball cause this. "I have to get to that full swing position first, then the rest will take care of it's self." When the opposite is true. Get to "your" maximum first. What you can control. What you body is able to handle, then slowly increase you flexibility and full swing arch/position. And you will see your results increase.
