What is the biggest issue that gives you trouble with your swing?
I've always had issues with maintaining my spine angle. Consequently, I had to save too many shots with my hands and it often resulted in inconsistent, slightly thin contact. I've been working really hard on maintaining the angle of my spine on the downswing this spring. It's a tough sensation, because I feel cramped on the downswing, and my left foot wants to spin out to myself space to clear, but it works.

For me it's flexibility. I was never very flexible but now that I'm older and 6 mos removed from shoulder surgery, it's tougher than ever. I found out it literally takes me 50 balls to warm up. If I go swimming or do yoga, it's quicker.
But finally with a lot of hard work, playing 3 times a week, my swing is coming around. I hit the best 6 iron of my life yesterday to 6 feet on a par 3. Nice birdie.
