After never being able to hit the ball left and slicing everything I took some lessons and was improving greatly. I had about 6 rounds a row in the mid 80's, not great by some of your standards but great by mine. Anyway after the lessons my shots were straightening out a little every round. When I put those great rounds together i had a baby draw, then a 5-10 yard draw. Now I'm struggling to break 90 with a massive 20 yard draw/hook. It's very predictable and my drives and wood roll out forever, but sometimes you just can't play a 20 yard draw. I know I'm turing the club over at impact or right before, but if I hold off on the turn I hit 50% good 25% I leave way out right and 25% even though I'm trying to hold of I manage to but the same draw on it.

Any tips or drills? The reason I think it's the wrist instead if other problems is the ball always starts right before turing if I was hitting a pull/hook I would think it would start left and go more left.

Going by just what you'r saying, Your shots are starting straight and then drawing? Correct? If that's the case, you're impact position is square and you're swinging on an inside to out path that produces the draw. Simplest change is just open your clubface a little and swing the same. May have to line up a little right of target.

sounds to me like your hands are coming too far inside on the backswing. what i do when this happens is swing out to in and slowly work back to where i'm hitting the ball straight again.

    • 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.
