Good Golfing!
When I hit a rough patch (literally and figuratively) I go "back to basics" For me that means delivery path of the clubhead, and the delivery line of my hands. Tracing the straight plane line and directing my thrust at a point on the same plane line seems to right the ship. My band aid is using an angled hinge instead of a horizontal hinge. I mention the band aid only to recommend that you discover your own tendencies. In my case the angled hinge with its hold-off feel makes my clubface "quieter" through impact. I tend to hit a lot of pulls when I am struggling. A slump is a golden opportunity! When you learn to scrape it around hitting it like a gibbering idiot you have become a player. The hallmark of a player is what he/she shoots when they are hitting it poorly. I have met only a handful of players that work on their short game and scoring shots...they are all world class players...coincidence? I tell my players it needs to be at least a 50/50 split between long game and short game IF their intent is to be good GOLFERS!
