Rich mans game, the rest of us have to do just do the best we can.

a) you can borrow a camera, if you are desperate enough you can make it happen

b) if you can't find an instructor you trust more than yourself, you either know a helluva lot or haven't looked hard enough

c) you determine a budget and spend accordingly. If you can afford 1 lesson a year then work your tail off on the couple things the instructor gave you and go from there. Whether you work with an instructor or not, you have to have a program. Something like the Bertholy method could give someone unwilling to spend money on instruction a way to avoid the "tip" merry-go-round. Otherwise find 3 or 4 drills that you think will correct your fault, work on them consistently and practice your grip and set-up weekly. Can't go far wrong in that way either.

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)
