ok right handed golfer- 20 handcap-typically reliable driver...i had 3 torn ligaments in my shoulder, had 2 ligaments screwed into my arm bone and my shoulder cap scraped. shoulder has lost alot of flexability. now 3 months out of surgery, im back on the course trying to gather my game together. my short game is coming along. the problem is my driving- distance is there, drive starts straight then takes a wild dogleg right, every drive. i feel like im having to relearn the drive with my lost movement. help help?

This almost sounds like my same surgery. Is it in your right or left shoulder? I'm a righty with the right shoulder done. What the loss of flexibility has done to me is make it very easy to chicken wing it. The chicken wing will cause an outside-in (your fade) or a snap hook.

Had a similar surgury in october, be patient once you get your strength back in your arms you'll be fine. I'm a righty and had my right shoulder done still not a hundred percent but alot better. dont forget your stretches and make sur to warm that shoulder up good before you make any swings

    • 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.
