Over the past few years the one major problem with my game (especially with the driver) has been inconsistency. For example, my first couple of rounds of the year my driving was amazing. I was hitting the ball straight and sometimes with a nice little draw and i was averaging about 280 yards off the tee. Even when swinging 100% my swing would still feel great and it would be as straight as an arrow.

That was about a week ago and recently at the range my driver has just been terrible. I haven't just been hitting it bad, but my swing just feels like it is way out of sync. I don't even feel comfortable when swinging my driver right now and sometimes it even spreads to my irons. One shot i will have a block slice, and the next will be a hook. Its just so inconsistent.

One thing that has been consistent though, is that my ball flight has been consistently lower. I have hitting about 80% of my drives about 10-15 yards off the ground.

I know its very difficult without a video of my swing, but does anyone know what my problem is? This hasn't just happened this time but very frequently throughout the year. It almost like a switch just gets turned off in my head.

Thanks

Try setting up with the hands more forward and the hips also forward.
