how to get out of a slump

[pecky987]

i know we're coming to winter, and we're not playing as much as we want to, but when i do play, right now, im playing terribly. i cant hit the ball straight, cant hit it solidly struck and i cant play to my usual standard. i keep fatting and thining the ball and i know this is caused by releasing too eary, but cannot stop myself and no drills i know have helped me. i have changed from a player of around 9 handi to playin like a 95 shooter. any tips on how to get out of this slump?

I wouldn't call it a slump.

It is a FLAW that needs to get fixed.

Pecky,

Can you make a divot in front of the back of the ball?

Can you hook it on purpose from your normal stance and with your normal grip?

last time i played i cudnt make decent contact i.e divot infront of ball. i do reckon i cud hook the ball with normal grip and stace, but onli by really turning hands over
