The other thought that occured to me is that your club could be offset. This sets your hand out in front at address, and if you've got a good swing, you could be getting even further out in front. You don't happen to have any video or pictures of your swing?

Thanks again for taking an interest in a newbie to golf.
The measurement is (I am quoting a golf pro posting attributed to you), "measure up the backside from the heel of the club @ the ground, to the grip cap (those double lines near the very end of the grip)."

As for offset, don't know what that is or how to measure for it.

Video was taken during one of my classes. The PGA pro reviewing stated that I have a solid swing. Sorry, I didn't get a copy of my swing and don't have a video recorder... I don't even have a digital camera. I'm lucky I have a computer to access the web from. =)
