There's not much more disheartening in golf than knowing the ball is going OB directly off the club face. The blocked shot can cause so many problems, but isn't a relatively difficult shot to cure. Check the video out to find out WHY and HOW to stop blocking your shots.

Thanks for the tips. For some unknown reason I pushed or blocked a few tee shots on my last round. I chalked it up to - just trying too hard. Upon further review they may have been combo issues that you described. You gave me a lot to think about and practice. Thanks!

Very helpful, I believe I’m trying to create lag with my driver and that’s the reason for my blocking. I’ll work on this. Thanks!

I have a swing speed around 115-120, so when I miss, it's a block that goes a long way the wrong way. Always happens when I'm nervous on a hole for some reason.

Richard, love this video - so useful. My son is fighting a very bad block - he is a scratch golfer, but over the past couple months, he has been blocking 2-3 balls OB in tournaments. Occasionally, he will hit the next one after a block as a duck hook - no better. I am wondering if he is getting stuck or just leaving the face open at impact. Can you take a look at his swing and let me know what you think? Thanks!

I believe this is exactly what I do. Try to create lag with my driver and send the ball to Sliceville as a result. Hit my irons very well and when I focus on turning my wrist before impact with the driver it does work but less consistent.

Whatever the reason that shot is NO fun 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the tips. I spent an entire round blocking nearly every tee shot or hitting pop flies. Frustrating. On one drive I basically locked my legs and hit a nice draw but unfortunately it was later in the round and couldn’t repeat it. I think I’m sliding hips and shaft forward.

Great video Richard! I actually have a two-way miss lately with my driver which is very frustrating? What can I work on to stop hooks and blocks. I hit more hooks than blocks. Thank you!

If you’re hooking and blocking typically your club is under plane (too far from the inside). The difference from hook and block is club face direction. There’s many causes for this but you could start with better downswing rotation and swinging more left on the way through!
