[enentique]

I went to the range again yesterday to beat another 100 balls into submission while trying to incorporate some of the feedback received on this thread. After halfway through and teetering on whether to quit the game or not, something clicked. Tempo got better, set-up got better, etc and shots started to get more consistent. Distance isnt there yet (short by 10-15 yds vs. my normal distances) but I'll take what I can get right now. Couldn't hit my gap wedge to save my life as everything was painfully a low slice but at least I could chip/pitch with it. The strange thing was my best and most consistent shots came from my 5w and 3 hybrid. thanks to everyone for their input!

That is weird being to hit your longer clubs the best. Sounds like you're making good progress.

When I'm at the range and my shots are going all over the place, I pull out the SW and start hitting lobs like Prov does with his LW. It helps me to feel my swing a little better (since it's the heaviest club in my bag) and slow the swing down a bit.
