Alright, heres the deal. A week ago i had golf tryouts, and i didnt do too bad, but i made 4th spot on varsity. Now, a week later, a couple days ago, i just couldnt hit a golf ball anymore. I can still chip, putt, and hit my woods and hybrids good, its just my irons i cannot hit. My stance and swing feel exactly the same, but i just can't determine what im doing wrong. When i swing my iron i just hit a low slice, like a really bad shank. When i used to be able to hit the ball good, the sound of the ball coming off the clubface would be dull, but now when i hit it bad its a loud click. Its doing this with all of my irons. Could i just be coming over the top now? And please respond as soon as you can, my season starts tomorrow and i have 2 big tournaments and a match.

first you gotta understand wat a shank is...A shank is when the club is severly closed at impact means your over correcting...Usually when ppl shank they think its b/c they aren't getting the club turned over and therefore the hosel hitting it when in fact its the exact opposite..Your correcting too much...Just relax and imagine keeping the face open through impact and making a nice swing like you have been...let the club do the work and don't force anything.

I play everyday. im off 10 h/c now and i sometimes have days like these. My immediate reaction used to be get to the range before a round (every morning) and try to correct it! Wrong answer!

Personally what i find that cures me is having 48-72 hours off! Dont even turn the Golf channel on T.V.!!!

Our golf minds need calibrating time to time. You may find yourself coming back and hitting it even better after a 2-3 day brake.

Hope it helps.

If you're having trouble getting under the ball, I recomend standing further up, if that makes sense. While you generally straddle the ball evenly, move a little further up so the ball is closest to your back foot. May have just confused you, its very hard to explain without visual assistance. Good luck and let us know how you do.

try moving closer to the ball. sometimes when i start hitting low slices like that i am standing to far from the ball so try moving closer to it. hope that helps.
