I think the majority of the time it is because my clubface is open at impact. I also think that confidence and thinking about mechanics is a big part of it too. I dont get a whole lot of time to goto the driving range to work on my game, which is a really big downfall. I just switched from a standard set of clubs to clubs that fit me and I am still trying to adjust in the length addition to them. The golf swing is very complicated and there are prolly a hundred different things that can go wrong in a lot of swings that end in a bad shot. It just seems that I am getting worse the more I play. Has anyone done that and is there hope of getting out and improving my game? I am seriously thinking about getting some instruction but I feel like I dont want to pay someone if they really dont know how to correct my swing. any suggestions?
