Went to clinic to pick up newly restored 5 and 7 Taylormade woods. Learned the following tips:

1. Tilt both knees inward slightly to help reduce sway.
2. Need to eliminate right-sway by keeping right knee stable and planted.
3. 3/4 swing to reduce overswing.
4. Lead with the hips first.
5. 1 0'clock finish (swing inside out).
6. Finish high and look at target.

Other pointers:

1. Address ball with hands forward of clubhead.
2. Turn shoulders slightly to the right to place more weight on right side.
3. Place head behind the ball

Also, things I learned on my own:

1. Play it forward (to help reduce topping and promote proper weight shift)
2. Smooth backswing with good tempo (to reduce overswing)
3. Shoulder rotation (to reduce slice)

Useful tips:

1. Loose hands
2. Easy swing
3. For more power, turn the hips faster
