I’ve been lifting hard the past few months and gained 10 pounds of muscle. My strength is great, but I’m now shanking the ball.

   Lifting weight is not recommended to help improve the golf swing. It may or may not help depending on your actual body, muscle mass added strength added etc.,
   Golf is more about co-ordination and while strength may help speed and skill are far more important. Specific golf exercises to increase flexibility and build elongated muscles rather than bulging muscles are recommended. Too many bulges may get in the way and reduce flexibility which would be counter productive.
   It is unlikely weight lifting made you swing worse, that may have happened as a result of false expectations.

   Keep pracitcing you are probably swinging faster than you normally would, but just don’t realize it. Slow down your swing speed. Pros only swing 85% of what they can fully swing. It is not a race.

    Look at Tiger, his swing used to be beautiful but now he has fallen in love with bodybuilding and his swing has gotten worse. But you just don’t play enough from what I’ve heard.

    You have to adjust your swing with more strength comes more speed. Go to the range slow it down a little and find your speed again.
