I finally played my first round in 8 months yesterday.

Hello, I finally played my first round in 8 months yesterday. It wasn’t that good. I had a nasty slice with my irons and driver. Everything was coming up short and right. All I could feel was as though I was late on every shot. A large percentage of ball flight is dictated by club head angle correct? Path is secondary? I don’t have any videos as I was on the course. But what do you suspect the problem was? Most likely not releasing the club early enough? In past swing reviews it has been identified that I drag the handle into the hitting area. When someone is “late” does this just mean late on the release? Basically my shots were the opposite of a snap hook...a snap slice. Just didn’t feel like there was any compression and like I said, each shot was either a snap slice, or just super weak and short right. Any ideas on where to look for the culprit? Or what to possibly work on? I know it’s hard without video. I’ll try and get a friend to take some videos next time. Thanks!

Hi Brandon, Yes, face angle is 80% of the shot shape. It's really hard to say what happened without seeing it and I think it would be a little irresponsible as a golf instructor to fire off help without seeing it in action. I would suggest that you start hitting more balls at the range at this point and bring your camera to the range. Then see if you capture one of these shots and send it in or post it up. The swing you have build in the garage is fantastic and its time to challenge it more so out on the range and then the course. Maybe do a little warm up session in the garage, then head out to the range and see if you can replicate it. Your brain needs more of this stress put on it to get you over the hump so its more ready for the course. Hope that helps. Ct
