Alright I am a decent golfer around a 15 handicap. I have always been a good ball striker especially beganing of this year. Just about 2 weeks ago I have totally lost my swing, it actually looks like I have never golfed in my life. I have been going to the range 3 times a week for about a year now and in febuary my local range changed from real grasss to the artifical grass. I have been killing my self trying to get my swing back and just nothing I keep shanking it and i mean bad, my dad says he has never seen someone so good go so bad so quick and stay that way.
My question is, I am really getting frustrated and burned out should I just take a week off or longer or shorter break some one help!!!!!

I was making excellent progress as a novice. I was on the verge of breaking 90 with regularity and I went downhill after some injuries that were hard to deal with. I switched to other equipment/grips. I am still working on getting back to where I was.

I reverted to hitting grounders and guessing where the ball was going to end up. I lost distance control. I couldn't chip, I couldn't drive, the wedges sucked and I was worried I was going to hit someone next to me on the range.

On top of it all, I was swinging the Medicus club perfectly.

I started reading the magazines for 'tips' and developed the worst hybrid of a swing.

I took a few lessons and focused on fundamentals. I am still working on the driver and fairway woods.

Maybe it's the full swing Yips?

We are not alone:


HOLY SHANKS!

Shanks! Please Help

Please Help, I'm at rock bottom.

I've lost it...

another case of the S word

I've lost my swing!

Stop trying so hard, slow down. take it back really slow, and dont make a downswing, almost let it fall like 50% just keep it in place, with each club and then slowly move on up60% 70% 80% 90% 100%

thanks I will try that tonight, I need all the help I can get

It's possible the artificial grass is hurting you.

I would definitely start by taking at least a few days, maybe a week off from full swings. Just continuing to repeat a swing problem is just going to make it harder to fix. Getting a lesson would probably help.

Work on chipping and putting for a week and do your best to forget about the full swing, then go back to it later. And I think Tucson's advice can help ... when you do go back, start with some half swing pitches, and if you are hitting them well, I would suggest just doing that the whole session. Build up some confidence.
