I've seen this coming for a month but I thought it would go away. I have absolutely zero clue where the ball is going right now. I have misses so extreme of each other I honestly don't know what to do. I know the first thing people will scream is underplane underplane underplane but I just don't see it. I can line up a towel and miss the towel all day long yet hit 50 yard offline pulls or 50 yard offline push fades with a 7 iron. The driver I can't even keep within 2 fairways. I hit one driver so low and so left last week it skipped across the previous hole I was playing and about killed some of my friends. Absolutely frigging embarassing. This season started out so promising equaling my all time low score this year of 73 on several occasions. I just knew this was the year I would break par. Boy was I wrong. Shot a whopping 90 with 8 balls out of bounds today. Follow that up with a otherwise frustrating range session and it just makes you wanna quit. I honestly can hit the ball ten times better trying to hit it from the inside and swinging way out to right field but I know that is not the long term fix.

Sorry about the long rant but I just needed to vent. This game is honestly the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. The more work I put into it it just seems like the less I get out of it. My friends call me a headcase now and laugh at me for all the lessons I've taken. They say my brain is going to explode when I'm over the ball. I guess they are right. Good luck with your game I'm taking a long break.

Sounds like you could use a Trackman session badly. If for anything to figure out what your clubface and path are doing instead of guessing.

Probably a major clubface control issue.

coming from someone who knows EXACTLY what your feeling, take a break for a week or 2. then when you come back hit half swing pitch shots with a high lofted, heavier club.

then do the back-and-forth swinging drill. over and ove and over and over and over again

Don't do it. If you can shoot a 73 you've got talent, don't risk throwing the baby out with the bath water.

A few years ago I was due to relocate and thus it didn't seem worth paying a full years fees for what would effectively be the winter months (it's all or nothing in the UK fees-wise). I convinced myself it would be good for my game as it would give me a chance to "take stock" and clear my mind. The opposite happened. I ended-up reading a lot of golf related stuff, but because I wasn't playing I wasn't filtering out the stuff that didn't work. When I returned to full-time playing I thought I was going to have a wonderful day with my new found knowledge - went from a 6 to a 10 handicap in three miserable years.

So, if you take a break make it a complete break. Then all you risk is becoming rusty and forgetting the good stuff that let you shoot 73s in the first place.
