I'm noticing that too. I wasn't sure if it was a function of the camera
angle not being exactly behind me and when I slike a little onto my left
foot, that makes it look like a different path than on the back swing. But
something's definitely there.

What do you mean by that? Locking it more? Having more weight on it? More
weight on the inside of the right foot?

Does that mean too much right to left shift as I shift my weight to my left
foot? If so, any thoughts on reducing that?

How about the position of the hands away from my body. It looks like
they're much closer when I address the ball, but further away when I make
contact.

Another thing I've noticed... the club head doesn't return to the same
position as where it started. I makes contact with the ground about 2
inches closer to me. I'm not liking that at all.

Canon SD500 7.1 mp. My last one was an early generation Elf digital with
2.1 mp. I wanted small, since I take it on a lot of cruises, and want it in
my pocket when I wander around. For me, small is the most important factor.
