Don't let the game beat you. Take a week off, chill out, watch some Golf Channel and see if you can figure out what's wrong on your own. If you go out to the range, don't get mad and work on your fundamentals. We all reach that point in our game where we think "maybe I should just quit, I'm not getting any better" but, like someone already said it's a sign of a big break-out coming up. Just stick with it and enjoy the game..

Everyone...

I fixed it. I was releasing really early, and trying to hit the ball rather than swing through it. But I started "slapping" the ball with my left hand, like I used to do but forgot about, and I'm back to my normal swing. I am absolutely exstatic(spelling?) right now.

just take some time off (a few days, a week, whatever) but don't quit altogether. I went through something like this a few weeks back and was actually quite embarrassed while trying to hit balls at the range. i was shanking my 56* wedge... cmon, whats worse than that?

It happens to the best of us (well, not the BEST of us but you know what i mean).

Nice. False alarm, I guess. Good choice, sticking with it.

For the record, it's ecstatic.

Nine times out of ten golfers try to hit the ball farther than they can and get frustrated.

Play one extra club till you start going over greens.  Your game will return I bet on it.

Best of luck golfer.

Thanks for joining.

When your get in a slump like that. Try swinging the club as hard as you can. Like a normal swing but a full swing. As fast and hard as you can. Speed more than strength. Then take full swings as slow as you can. Very slow motion. Feel the club. Feel the  head. Your body as to get back on track with the club head that’s all. 
Then take long pitch shots. Grab your 6 iron and hit a 130 or 140 yard pitch shot. Half swing. Gradually get it back. It will come back.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      Please forgive the sweaty shirt.  Just got off the treadmill and decided to do my Evolvr drill.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
