Initially I was topping my fairway woods and ok with driver and irons, then my irons started to also be an issue, as I was shanking and topping them too.
Driver was still ok as was my putter.
Yes, I am booked in with the pro.....but..............
I guess most people have gone through this at one time or another. 3 years ago a couple buckets of balls got me back on track, but this time I can't figure it out.
My swing doesn't seem to have changed and my tempo seems ok.
For those of you who have gone through this, what was likely cause? What checks have you instilled in yourself at set up etc. to prevent this happening again?

I had a similar problem where my whole game sped up on me. I had to back and re-establish my routine of not hitting the ball until I was comfortable over it and then slowing the swing down and not trying to knock the cover off the ball. I also realized that I had lost some distance with my clubs and began using a club more than I used to hit.. This along with the more relaxed address at the ball and swing speed all worked to get my game back on track. Good Luck..
