Losing your swing.

I lost my driver swing for the last 2 weeks. i still hit adequately ok with my irons. but i realized as i lost my driver swing. my short game suffered the same fate as well. kind of like 'no feeling'

has anyone gone thorugh this and what is ur remedy.

i tried going back to range to ' re-adjust' by myself. but as ppl say. it is hard to spot ur own mistakes..as u cant see urself.

Hi Chocoman,

When I lost the feel of my short game (i.e. chipping and pitching), I will usually keep reminding myself to relax my shoulders and swing as if I am executing a putting stroke. Alternatively, I will use the wedge only with my left hand to try and hit a few balls off the mat; it will seems very difficult... but when I change back to using both hands, I seems to be able to appreciate the benefits of having both hands to swing and the short game will make a turn for the better.

And when I lost the feel of the driver, I will usually throw the driver out into the range!
hehe... just joking... nothing in particular that I will do... but I thought seeing someone hit good driver shots helps. It can subconsciously help me visualize the good swing that I need to make.

Stay away from golf for a while...at least that helps me...and when get back to it...start slow again...I have not lost my swing yet because I have yet to find it.....

Bro....quick quick...when is out next game???? Time like this is hard to come by.......

you can lose your swing for a stretch of a few weeks and it can also happen in the middle of a round.

hence its important to have a routine and a couple of practise swing to compose your swing thoughts.

"losing the feel" is usually a loss of tempo, a change in routine or setup, change in environment - wind condition, new kakis, playing with big hitters, etc...

if you know what you need to do, there is no need to stop playing for a while, you can adjust by the next hole.

golf is such when u can start to hit it everywhere if your timing is slightly off. Confidence is another. The remedy is to have a pro to take a look and give you a few pointers to get back on track. Nothing beats getting good advice. Nothing is worse than trying too many

yeah ... just go practice drill ... and in two weeks to a month u will be back better than ever .... when u go range dont do full swing or half swing ... IMPACT is the most important i think

if u come on weds we'll see what you can do with your driver swing buddy. i'll be dropping by.

Hi chocoman, I just came back from range. Having the the problem. Lost all my swing! Thanks to the two weeks of examination! Now trying to find s remedy too.

it is the saddest feeling on earth!!!

Abang, it happened to me after I read ya thread... Tempo gone, balls go left go right... Haizzz... Sad....

I am more like a "Feel" player... dun know much abt the mechanics. Nowadays I try to add some controlled tempo as well as learn n put in some mechanics.

Outcome?? I top, I shank .....
Hope to find it back real soon...

i think ur avatar caused me to lose my swing.

I lost my swing at the start of the year. Went from shooting high 80s and low 90s (on a bad day) to shooting 104 and 107. First thing I did was went back to my coach, and he spotted the error immediately. Solved in one session, which was better than trying to self-diagnose on the practice range and fixing one problem and adding new variables that will screw up later on.

seebayho...you avatar damn solid....

I agree wholeheartedly in this clause of yours ... When I slow down my swing to focus on achieving "sweet" impact, I was glad with the result ... The ball went further than when I swung fast. The morale of the story is, nothing beats flushing the clubface against the ball ...
