Golf Tip 3: How to Stop Slices & Hooks
Slices or hooks aren’t cleaver, pretty or funny and no one likes them! Slices and Hooks can cause a large amount of anger and frustration in any golfers games so here is a tip to try and get rid of them . . . for good.
The main cause for golfers slicing and hook is that they are taking the club back off plane and aren’t making the necessary compensations on the way back down. So what can you do about this?
Lay your driver across your shoulders with the grip end to your left. Take your stance and make your regular backswing turn. Now, you may have seen this drill before, but hardly anyone does it correctly. Most golfers think that you should make your backswing turn so that the shaft points at the ball. That’s way too steep, and one of the reasons why you slice. Swinging the club too flat with the shaft pointing way beyond the ball is equally bad (and a potential source of your hook).
The correct way to perform this drill is to turn your shoulders and maintain your posture so that the shaft points at a spot just a foot on the other side of the ball. That’s a perfect on-plane position. Combine a nice, smooth backswing with this exact shoulder turn and you’ll be in perfect position at the top.
