YUP. now that we put all put in all possible causes, how to fix.

If he is as stubborn as Saint says, try to give a small and easy adjustment. Check his grip. Try weakening his grip (counter clock wise around the shaft). If his grip is strong, go neutral. If neutral, go weak to open up club face. It's not a swing fix, but a end result tweak to help him get consistent, if he always has that swing. That is the thing with Golf. Be consistent and use small adjustments to get that consistency to where you want the ball to go.

It's kind of funny, because it really doesn't look like he has an inside to out, it might be slightly i guess.

you're probably doing what i do which is come over the top (which tends to happen to a lot of us amateurs when we swing harder). try to feel swinging the club with your left hand. Many people swing with their arms trying to hit the ball with their right hand as opposed to turning through the ball on axis

For me the fix is tempo. When it's consecutive pulls, the first thing I try is to really focus on tempo. 1...2, 1...2, 1...2. I'll count it in my head 2 or 3 times as I stand over the ball before the swing. For me it's a product of my hands and hips getting out of sync or my shoulder turn getting sloppy. But it's almost always a pull.

Just dealt with this today actually. Kudos to my dad for diagnosing it over the phone because he knows my swing better than I do.

    • 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.
