3 Simple Golf Tips to Hit the Driver Farther and Stop My Slice
We all want to hit the driver farther and straighten it out, especially when we are slicing the ball! But sometimes the tips we get just don't make sense.
Well, here are 3 tips thoroughly explained that will have you hitting the golf ball further and without that dreaded slice in just a few swings.
Tip #1) Point Your Shoulders to the RIGHT-What? To the right? Yes.
The underlying problem when we are struggling with a slice in the swing is cutting across the ball the the left.
Our swing follows the line that our shoulders are pointing whether we like it or not.
So pointing your shoulders right will allow you to create a swing that will hit the ball more with a correct swing path, coming straight into the ball and generating more power and accuracy.
It's counter intuitive, but absolutely necessary to hit a straighter, longer shot.
Tip #2) Strengthen Your Grip- When we are struggling with a fade, slice, or a right shot, it's a good idea to strengthen the grip slightly, because we are using a weak grip at the moment.
We want to twist our hands to the right a little bit at address of the ball.
TIP- Make sure you twist your hands, and not the club face at the same time! Re-grip the club with the hands twisted right.
You want to see about 2 and 1/2 knuckles in your left hand, and the right hand "V" between thumb and forefinger points toward your right shoulder.
Tip #3) Swing Underneath Your Chin- I hate when people say, "keep your head still!", so I'm not going to either.
Besides, what they mean is, don't lift up your head to the target at impact.
It has nothing to keeping your head perfectly still.
Just look at Tiger Woods' head in his swing, it's moves a ton! SO, in other words, think of your right shoulder swinging underneath your chin.
This will help you swing on the correct path to promote more of a draw.
Take and use these three tips.
It's best to use ALL 3 as they really rely on eachother to create that straight and long shot you want with your driver.
You'll be hitting that driver 300+ with a small draw in no time!
