I was having similar problems. Then I went and got some lessons about three weeks ago. I've only had three lessons so far, but I've improved it dramatically. I used to NEVER take a divot, sweep everything, and even my good shots were quite thin (but went high, and no one noticed they were thin)...

The problem? My weight was too much on my heels at address, and during my swing. Also contributing to it I was too far from the ball.

Maybe give these two things a try - worked for me.

Absolutely agree - as you can see from the amount of good and/or well intentioned advice posted here - what you really need is a trained pair of eyes watching your swing. Good luck

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
