"I have lost my swing" is a statement that sometimes comes my way as a golf instructor. When looking back at video from previous lessons compared to the current "lost" swing, I don't see a lot of differences. In fact, the swing looks pretty identical to the previous swings which "worked." So what is "it" that is lost? My theory is set up.
When practicing, pay attention to the set up which produces the best results. Pay attention to your balance points, ball position and how you aim. You can even test different set up positions to understand what types of ball flights you get: for example (a) ball forward/back (b) aim more right or left (c) balance points on your toes/heels/middle. The more you understand how different set up positions affect your ball flight, the easier self correction becomes.
You probably didn't lose your swing, you just don't understand your set up well enough to know what swing it produces. Here are two completely different set up positions which produce different swings.
