Terrific thread. I've always been self taught but I joined a new course this year and the pro is widely respected so I'm considering working with him. I'm about an 8 and have always done lots of drills; practice without a ball can be very beneficial.

A pro can show you in five minutes what it might take you six months to figure out on your own. Maybe.

A good Pro can. A bad pro can set you back years.

...at my lesson today, I was thinking there was something in my back-swing and path that was off and letting the blocked right shots sneak back in. However, after seeing a few swings, he says "No, your back-swing is fine, great even, you just need to get your release earlier".

A pro I used a few years back took that approach. About every other time I asked some technical question about my swing, he would shout... "Don' go there; that part's OK."

A good way to help minimize mental clutter.

Focus, connect and follow through!
