    Just A general question, post your technique and you may help someone else.
    I'll let you know when I get out of mine.

    I'm probably just thinking too much and trying too hard.

    Thinking too much between shots isn't always bad. The problem is when we focus on what we did wrong. For example, say that I pulled the ball in the first frame. I start thinking don't pull the ball. I get so focused on whether or not I'm going to pull, that I pull it again. Then the harder I try the more I pull.
    I should be thinking, 'OK, I pulled it. Why did I pull it? Was I off balance? Did my feet get ahead of the swing and force me to muscle the shot? etc.' Then I can focus on something positive like pushing the ball out at the right time in my approach.

    I watch myself on video and spot what I'm doing wrong pretty quickly. I also go back to the basics like others have already said.
