Are my hips too fast in my golf swing?

The reality is, most golfers have too much body turn and not enough arm swing as they start down. For me, it's my hips that turn too fast. That spins my body open and pushes the club to the outside, so I swing across the ball and hit pulls and fades. For many amateurs, the problem isn't the hips but the shoulders opening too fast.

Which golf ball is best for my swing?

Sure, unless you get golf balls for free like the pros, the price of all your equipment matters, and modern golf balls with their aerodynamic cover patterns, energetic cores and intricate designs are definitely equipment. However, there can be massive performance differences for you between balls that have nearly the same price.

What does cupping your wrist mean in golf?

It's harder to see it when you're at the top of the backswing. But if you get the clubface open or shut at the top—by cupping or bowing the left wrist (or having a grip that's too weak or too strong)—you're going to hit a lot of high slices or low hooks. Check your clubface at the top.
