The man of a 1000 golf swings !!

[Rocket Man]

Hello everyone, I am the man with a 1000 swings.Well actually its more of a 1000 different ways my swing can feel through the course of a season.I cannot "Hold On" to the way my swing feels for anymore than a couple of days to 3 weeks at most.I start out swinging the club and say I am really feeling the clubhead rotation on the way back and how the club is coming into the slot at the top of my back swing.

It feels good and I am able to repeat it and feel it happening.I then head to the driving range and if the feel is still there(sometimes it never makes it to the range before I lose it) I begin hitting balls.This pretty much always goes the same way.After making a few "Tweaks" I hit the ball with good accuracy and consistency.The next day I start swinging again and as always "Something Feels a little different" The club head rotation is not happening the way it was or something else feels "Off" and I'm not hitting the ball as well.So yet again things change and I have to readjust

things again.Repeat this over and over a thousand times!! This is a little exaggerated as I do hang on to the same way a swing feels for sometimes up to 3 weeks or so before I lose it.However it can happen as fast as in my example above.

I have worked really hard for a long time on setting up to the ball the same way every time  as much as possible.This should give me some consistency with how my swing feels but it dose not seem to work that way.I would love to be able to "Lock In" a swing feeling with my setup position but this is not the case.

I feel that this holds me back from my potential as a golfer as I am always having to readjust and change things.It is very frustrating to feel a great swing that produces power,accuracy and consistency and shoot in the low 80's only to lose it time and time again.

Is this normal for the game of golf? or am I the only "Man with a thousand golf swings"

It might not be your swing as such it could be your practice regime. I'm a crap practicer. I get faster, try to hit it further etc etc. I don't know what driving range facilities you have but I reckon the 100 bucket style ranges can be a real trap. My course has a small open field next to one of the holes. Ill practice with 5 balls. It's weird that break in hitting makes before you have to walk up the fairway to get them back. It also stops the dumb "accelerating "swing that I do a the Big range. The enforced break gives you a chance to re-evaluate your previous set of 5. Plus, you don't get a tired swing....it's hard to start "machine gunning " like at the range.

There are many like you.  Here is a possibility:

When you are swinging well, you are swinging with your body.

When you are not swinging well, you are swinging with your arms.

I just watched a video by Paul Wilson on this, but I did not like his lower body keys.  The lower body movements should be subconscious.

And yet for many people they aren't, so they have to make them a conscious thing.

Thank you for the reply.Its more about how my swing feels though.When I lose the feeling its not like my swing totally goes into the toilet and Im not doing things a whole lot differently.Its just that when I key in on a certain feeling it will trigger my swing and everything else happens very easily and subconsciously.When I lose it I must then consciously

make things happen and I hit an "odd" assortment of very well hit shots to complete "Bloopers"This is when I have to make adjustments to get a new swing feeling to make things happen subconsciously again.Thats the best way I can explain it.
