Hi all, I've been hitting a nice draw for about 2 years now but all of a sudden, the last 2 rounds, i've been slicing it all over the joint!

I haven't deliberately changed anything so have you any ideas what may be causing it?

In my Sun Mountain bag :

Driver : R7 Superquad
Irons : MX-900 3i - PW
Wedges : CG14 52 & 56Putter : 'Fang' #7Balls : TP Red

try gripping your right hand tighter, and/or do a bit of an in-out swing path. Another tip, keep a line from the club shaft to your arm Straight! one big long line!

Driver: Hippo Hex2, HL
980F 3, 5 wood
X-Forged Irons, 3-Pw
50 deg wedge
58 deg wedge Futura putter PTS carry golf balls Green-joys

Well, you have begun to hit it in a fashion that is producing slice side spin. There are a whole load of things that could cause that. Over the top, out to in path, open face, stuck, we could go on and on. Let's a see a video of your new swing.

if your swing feels the same as usual, and your using the same clubs, one subtle thing that can creep in is alignment changes -- i.e. you might be aligning your body slightly more open to the clubface, which could certainly lead to a slice without other major swing changes. Easy to put down some clubs on the ground and see, and/or get a buddy to tell you what your body is aligned to at address compared to where you think it's aligned.

Driver: Cleveland Classic 270, 10.5*
Fairway Woods: Adams Speedline LP (3 & 5)
Hybrids: Wilson Staff Fybrids 21*, 24*, UST V2 stiff
Irons: Callaway X-20 Tour, 5-PW, Rifle Project-X (flighted) 6.0
Wedges: Cleveland CG15 DSG 52* & 58* +/- 56* Niblick

Putter: Yes! Amy

    • 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.
