Haven't taken a lesson in over a year. I've been having trouble with my 7, 6, 5 Iron and pushing the ball to the right.
Guy I used to take lesson's from moved to another course 40m from the house so I talked to a local pro and decided to get a few lessons from him.
Two things he said I was doing;
So he had me focus on keeping my back swing going straight back and not so much around myself. Then come inside-out on the down swing.
Obviously had a few miss-hits with this 'new' grip and swing path, but when I hit it right ball flight was great.
Been to the range a few times since last week and can't hit anything in my bag. My 7I I'm spraying across a 80 yard swath (40 right, 40 left) with the occasional good hit at the target. Every other club is the same. Even my PW, which I used to have great confidence in hitting the green from 110y out...now forget it. Left, right, over, short. My confidence is completely shot with all my clubs.
I actually paid for a package of lessons but I'm not exactly to happy right now. Should I give up on this guy and go back to the guy I used to see (he helped me a ton 3-years ago - hadn't played in 10 years and after lessons with him went from over 110 to low 90's and broke 90 for the first time...last summer I played 9 one evening and finished 2 over, best 9 holes ever for me).
I don't want to get two more lessons and get more jacked up...

Two things he said I was doing;
- going way inside on the back swing causing me to be very steep on the down swing. This also caused me to "lift" or attempt to lift the ball and not hit down. Club face was also very open at the top (toe of club not facing down)
- said I had a very strong grip so he had me roll my right hand over to weaken it a bit.
