So last week I started battling the s***ks a bit at the range but got myself out of it using a couple drills. I noticed this morning at the range my alignment somehow got very off-kilter in the past week. I pick out something in front of the ball to aid in my aiming, line up the clubface square to this target, but for some reason my feet and shoulders want to aim right. It's causing my hands to do some funky things with the grip (seem to be much stronger now) and it's making my swing path very bad - my head knows where I want to swing the club by with my alignment it is just not feasible so I'll try to compensate on the fly. Sometimes it works, most times it's a s***k or really hit it fat.

I have been using alignment sticks but when I take them away, I start reverting back. I did notice today on the 2nd part of my session that if I FEEL like I'm aligned too far left it seems to be actually correct for my swing path. Is it just a case of having to train my brain and body to trust each other?? LOL argghhh

I wish I had the answer for you because I've been doing the same my last two rounds. Not a big range guy, so we'll see if there is any change in tomorrows round. I did start using my explanar again this week so I'll see if that helped.

Frustrating, isn't it? I really can't explain it, it's like there is some mental block. Hope it gets worked out for you because it truly is a dreadful feeling - I start questioning my whole swing!

Oh yeah it's frustrating. Like last weekend I get to the 7th tee, and say to myself "Aim to the palm left of the green." thinking I'll be dead at the stick. Where does it go? To the palm left of the green dammit!!!!
