Anti Slicing Tips

Anti Slicing Tips

The following can make the banana ball disappear right away.

Strengthen your grip: move your left hand to the right on the grip. A good rule of thumb is that the V created by your index finger and thumb should point to the outside of your right shoulder.

Put some oil in those wrists: instead of holding the club with a “death grip” loosen those wrists up a bit. A good thought is take a couple of practice swings and feel like the shaft is a piece of rope. You should feel the club head in the backswing which is telling you that you are hinging and unhinging your wrists which will allow you release the club.

Relax those shoulders: during your setup feel that your shoulders are so relaxed that if there was a gust of wind your arms would sway. What this will do is allow your arms to fall into the slot on the downswing, which will allow you to hit the ball farther and straighter.

If all else fails, tee it up on the right hand side of the tee box, aim to the left hand side of the fairway and let it banana right down the middle.
