Hi All,

I live in the Midwest so golf is in season about every 6 months. Last year i was typically a bogey golfer for the most part some better rounds some worse. This year started off really bad, i cannot hit my irons at all. I used to strike them really well (pw-135 9-145 8-155 etc.). This year i cannot even get them off of a tee. 

1. I noticed that when i strike the ball i pull up on my lead arm (left arm I am righty)

2. When i do make solid contact it ends up being about a 50 yard slice with almost every iron and the contact is made on the inside of the club almost right under the shaft.

I had to hit thousands of balls and try everything imaginable, new grip, alignment sticks, lessons and nothing seems to work. Any advice or past experience with this would be deeply appreciated!

    • Day 58: night putting session for about an hour. Started with lag putting and ended with putts inside 9’. I need to work on putts from 6-12’, but in a solid spot overall. 
    • Birdied a different #6 today (incidentally, also a par-5, but not the same one on which I previously birdied).  Here's the funny thing though:  it's the par-5 that caused me to post my "how do I avoid bogeys?" on par-5s recently.  So I guess I still haven't parred that hole.
    • Day 20, May 24.  Played 18 today, very poor ball driving.  One GIR, and it was a 4-wood from the rough.  Several other instances of hitting a green on a full swing (and at least one full swing motion -- a 50% UW) that wasn't for GIR.   Still shot an 87 and even had a birdie (chip-in).
    • Welcome to TST.  I spent a bit of time in the UK but I had to look up Wagon Wheels.  Don't think I ever saw them.  Had to Google to see.  Couple similar items in US but Google says they are different. 😁
    • Day 264 5-24 Worked on getting chest through and arms down infront of chest. Contact isn't great yet but on video looking better.
