Wow, i had the worst day of golf today, and things havent been right for a few rounds. a lot of mishits, which have never been a problem for me. also my drives would slice sometimes which is also something i dont usually have a problem with. my contact was just bad.

and since ive changed some things in my swing over the winter i was looking for problems in my backswing, in my body turn, and just didnt feel like i could hit the ball how i wanted to.

then i noticed that i couldnt hit the same spot on the ground consistently and had the feeling that i pulled up before i hit the ball. eurika...

cant belive i missed it...so basic. make sure that your chest stays down on the ball into impact!

anybody else ever have this problem?

OMG...YES!! Just last weekend!! I too have been working on fixing my swing faults. My misses are usually pull and/or hook shots. With my new swing grooved in, I'm ready to go. So I thought! I sliced 5 drives into the OB and when I happened to hit the fairway, I seemed to slice my second shot. It was ugly! I don't hit slices!! Not to mention, like you, I was hitting fat, then thin. I couldn't make solid contact. I noticed a few times that I did try to stand up and that was not good. So frustrating!

    • A strong grip cups the wrist (lead) and then it wants to flatten through impact, something I used to be able to avoid to keep it from going left and protecting my forearm (the main premise of my set up). Longer the club, harder it is becoming. Either way, yes, I need to transition to gripping it open. 
    • Why don't you grip it "open" so you can return your hand to the place where you're comfortable/not sore, but the ball won't go left? It's effectively weaker… without actually "being" weaker?

    • Idk but I would have to imagine that a putter that is aimed where you think it's aimed would be the most important aspect of a putter
