What type of clubs are you using? I'm mostly interested in knowing about 5W and driver. Head type (wood, metal), shaft manufacturer (DG, Rifle, Adila, etc), shaft material (graphite, steel), shaft flex (reg,still, etc) and any other details you may have.

As for your swing, don't try to learn golf on your own. Please take my advice and see a pro. I thought I could teach myself and finally, 18 years later, I have gotten what it's all about. Take a few lessons if you are serious about learning how to golf.
