I also find that if i try to do everything mechanical, like set up perfect alinement , ball placement etc and then try to hit a shot, i end up froze over the ball thinking about all the little eliments in my set up that could be off by a fraction and effect the outcome of the shot. Then everything just doesnt seem to be right even if it is, so i second guess myself and start making adjustments to everything and then of course hit a bad shot. This also applies to putting. But if i just try to trust my comfort and by this i mean just line up by feel and and trust that everthing is in the ballpark (approx correct,not exact ) and just go for it, I tend to have a much better result, but not enough to totally trust it.

So do you think that if you have a pretty good foundation and knowledge base, it would be wise just to play through the slump without all the perfection of every little detail and trust that i will just become more consistant without any mechanical thoughts and just let the shots happen. Or continue to work in mechanical range time.
