So you're shanking and slicing?

Just to be clear, a shank is when you hit the hosel and ball rockets off to directly to the right (for right handed golfers) without very much left to right spin. A slice is a ball that you actually hit but flies left to right.

My advice, go back to the basics. Sound grip, posture and alignment at address, check the space between you and the ball, check the ball position. Forget what videos you've just been watching and then like Hawk said, stop blazing through all the balls. Take each one slowly and deliberately and focus on what you're doing.
