About Dathaeus
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
If you want to become a better golfer at any level, feel free to ask me. This may involved hitting with more power, consistency, maintain effective practice sessions, and learn swing mechanics, etc... I do not study much about the technical aspects of golf equipment and it is hard to suggest the right equipment for you without knowing your game and choosing from hundreds of different clubs out there. I would suggest you go demo a few clubs and read up on reviews from various web sites for that, and when you have narrowed down your choice, then I will be glad to help you choose. So if you want to play better golf and need online instruction, I can answer to your satisfaction. Feel free to also post up a video as many others are already doing and I will be glad to take a look as well... just remember to take the front and side views, and include information about the club you are using and your distance hit with that club.

Experience
I have studied the game for years, and I would love to share my knowledge of basically making anyone out there play better golf. I am pretty much self taught and have dissected the game thoroughly and hope to turn pro someday. Having started the game later in my life compared to most pros gives me a unique perspective on the game and its psychology. So if you are just as adamant about improving your game to new heights, ask me and I will help you.
