Hitting it straight

[Shortylook]

Just when I think I have my golf game going a little straight, I go an play a round and boom, hello slice town. It's so anoying.

That's no good Shorty. What do you think brought that on?

I thought this was about turning Yoss :)

[Shortylook]

Um I don't know Matt, I hit 5 good ones then 5 bad ones, I think it's just going to come down to shitloads of practice I guess

New set of clubs would fix that right up!

[timah!]

New set of titleist clubs would fix that right up!

Amen brotha. Amen.

Well now that you mention it, I had a hit of a mizuno mp59 the other day and and they felt very nice

I have been going through the same thing, some good shots then crap ones, one good round then several crap rounds, so I had a lesson 2 weeks back. Setup was OK, hands a bit strong but the main thing was that I was often not finishing my swing.....this was main cause of irratic behavour. If I don't finish my swing, hips stop, arms keep going, face closes, get a hook......I would rather ALWAYS hit the same predictable shot if I can.....a cut or draw or go straight, I dont really care each day so long as I can predict it. When I get tired or cautious or anxiety cuts in I stop finishing my swing, usually to have a look to see where it is going!!!!!

...my 2 cents...Stu

There was a good drill for this I saw recently in a mag I think, easy to incorporate in your preshot routine as well. Called the Step through drill, will see if I can find a Vid of it.

Similar to this, I find it helps in making sure you complete the follow through, especially when you start to tire late in the round;
