Block

A golf shot that travels straight but to the right of the target for right-handed golfers, typically caused by an inside-out swing path with a square club face or alignment issues. Block shots maintain distance but miss directionally, requiring swing path or setup adjustments. Understanding block causes helps golfers make appropriate corrections and improve accuracy. Block shots often result from excessive lateral movement or improper swing sequencing. While blocks can be frustrating, they're often easier to correct than shots with severe curve patterns.
