Fixing Your Golf Swing Now

Improve Golf Game Secrets:

A very common cause of a slice is actually a weaker grip and by weaker I don’t mean how tight you hold the club in your hands it refers to your hands positioning on the grip. A grip is considered weak when your trailing hand is on top of the club when you hit, or more commonly described as having your wrists turned to the left (right-handers). Another strong symptom of a weak grip is a lack of wrist movement into impact and an open clubface.

This weak grip makes it really hard to square the clubface all by itself and then adding it the potential of less wrists movements, it’s obvious this grip causes a slice. Well, now we talked about how we can cause a slice. All that’s left to do now is to remedy that slice, and for this we have an excersice that might help.

This excersice involves working with extremes. So why do we want you to do this?

1. After a bit of practice you will naturally assume a slightly stronger grip.

2. This drill enables you to feel how your wrists should rotate through the impact zone.

Set up normally to a golf ball with an iron of choice on your driving range. Before hitting the ball you should turn your hands to the right around the club as far as you possibly can, this will make your grip much much stronger. Make sure the clubface remains square to the target line. Now start hitting some balls.

After you practice this on a few buckets of balls you should be able to turn that slice into a solid draw. Reflect on what you felt through impact; remember how your wrists moved and how your hands felt. Hit some balls with this grip and then try your normal grip again, but consider strengthening it slightly. Focus on re-creating the wrist rotation your felt through impact. This drill is really good so if you are a true slicer then I strongly believe it can help you. Always remember that there is no right or wrong in golf. If you hit your balls straight, then you’re doing it right!
