I have been fighting pushing all drives to the right most of the year. I thought I had it cured and earlier this week hit all my drives right down the middle of the fairway during scramble at men's night. I was psyched to get out on the course and put up a good score of my own. Went last night and out of the blue was hitting everything to the left . Also had fair amount of hooks. Is this likely just isolated happening in what we know is the golf swing and new day will bring different results? Gotta love this game!!!

I too had the same problem about a week ago and found that for some reason i was standing farther back from the ball, as soon as I moved closer to the ball i was hitting dead straight. Give it a try and let me know how that goes.

I was hitting my driver extremely straight for a while and started slicing too. I found that my problem was that I had my head too far back in my stance. By moving my head further up, I added more weight to my front leg. I'm not sure about the physics of it, but the combination of the weight and the head placement straightened me out.
Good luck,

Cris

I also had the problem, over the last month I went from slice, fade,straight,draw,hook. I think I'm overrotating my hands, but how do I keep from doing so?

It might be you pushing your hips out rather than turning them, or dropping you right shoulder, then it will make a very inside-out path, and if you aren't dead on with your hand flip over timing, you will spray it everywhere.

I kinda agree the TheGolfer. If your dropping your front shoulder, then your wrist rotation might seem to be out of whack. Try keeping your left leg as still as possible on the backswing and hold your should still too. The only way I could stop from dropping my shoulder on the downswing was to put my left side against a wall and practice slow backswings until I got in the habit of just making a shoulder turn and not a dip. This "drill" also helped me get the head of the club back to its original address spot on the down swing.
