This is driving me crazy, had the same problem with r7 HT. when i 1st bought my 983k i was averaging 260 in winter, and then i started heeling almost every drive which produces a weak fade that goes about 245 in summer. Looking at the ballmarks on the clubface they're all on or around the heel. Hit my irons solid, center of the clubface everytime. Im not standing to close to the ball because i've got to the point where i stand so far away im reaching and i'll still heel it. Only other thing i can think of is the ball is to far up in my stance? Any input would be appreciated.

Sounds like you've just started coming over the top. It could be a setup thing, so you'll want to check your posture and arm alignment too.

However, assuming all that looks ok, try to practice hitting huge sweeping hooks with your driver. Set up with your stance closed and take the club back inside the line and try to hit a draw. Hit a few like that to get the feeling of striking the ball from the inside and then after a little while, you can go back to your normal swing.

    • It's not meaningful, because driving = playing golf. When practicing "turns," that isn't what block practice is, and that's just one aspect of practicing driving. Block practice of turns would be practicing the same turn repeatedly in the same way. We'll talk sometime, Vishal, because I'm not sure I'm reading you right or vice versa. Block vs. Random practice "studies" are cited all the time, but it turns out that block practice isn't what many actually think it is, per Dr. Raymond Prior himself. I think it's a much narrower thing than what many people think it is.
    • In my original post, the 'same thing' in relation to block practice of = 'how to handle the steering' not 'exact same turn 100 times'. There's a meaningful difference. Hope that clears the confusion. In any case I made a larger point in favor of block practice, ya know, repetition of a specific piece if done mindfully as a good thing, which I think is very much on topic. Matt's post ask a good question about learning a new motor pattern. Like how would you randomize 'make sure the club head goes outside the hands in the bs'? I would think it is literally the same move a 100 times = block practice right? 
    • Day 437 - 2025-12-11 Got some backswing work done on GEARS today after testing out a few things. Backswing looking pretty good, generally speaking. I can… Hinge a little earlier. Stay right a little longer. Keep a little trail knee flex. I'll continue with that the rest of December, then re-assess. It may go to the middle of January or so, before I can do the downswing stuff again.
    • That post confused me. It's kinda been the whole topic here. Literally doing the same exact thing over and over again = block practice.
    • Day 31 (11 Dec 25) - Regripped my #1 putter and spent some time rolling the rock.  Worked on lagging the ball to set distances (ladder drill) and overall tempo.
