Three drills to cure a slice

Scott Cranfield, 26 June 2009 14:40

The dreaded slice. Just about every golfer has experienced it, so much so that nearly everyone even understands what happens when you create a slice. Coming across the ball in an out-to-in swingpath will impart sidespin on the golf ball and see it go from left to right. To change this you need to be able to change the way ...

How To Avoid The Topped Shot

Scott Cranfield, 11 September 2008 14:37

The top shot really is a wasted shot. It happens when you hit on top of the golf ball rather than striking it correctly at the base of the ball. Golfers tend to top shots when they get too intent on hitting the golf ball and forget to swing the golf club freely. That means their swing stops at the ...

How To Avoid The Slice Shot

Scott Cranfield, 22 August 2008 14:00

The slice is the bain of many golfers' lives. Few of us appreciate what actually goes on in the swing to cause the slice. In basic terms the ball slices when the clubface travels across the target line and is open as it strikes the ball. That imparts spin on the ball that sends it curving left-to-right in the air. To ...

How To Avoid The Hook Shot

Scott Cranfield, 18 August 2008 09:00

The hook can be an extremely destructive shot. When the ball veers violently right-to-left in the air it signals disaster for your scorecard. The good news is it's very easy to control this shot shape and turn it into a gentle draw. I get my pupils to practice using a split hands grip. This helps you feel what the hands ...

How To Avoid The Push Shot

Scott Cranfield, 12 August 2008 13:00

The push shot is so close to the ideal shot. It's normally struck well on a good trajectory and just ends up right of the target you are aiming for. It just boils down to one simple thing: the clubface is slightly open as it strikes the ball. To prevent this happening you must learn to co-ordinate the body and ...

How To Avoid The Pulled Shot

Scott Cranfield, 11 August 2008 16:09

It's very easy to get into the habit of pulling your approach shots with your irons into the green. You end up trying to compensate by aiming right and that just compounds the problem. There's a very simple drill you can use to learn to keep the clubface square as it strikes the ball. All you need is a tee ...

How To Avoid The Shank

Scott Cranfield, 11 August 2008 12:30

The shank is the one word in golf that all golfers cringe at. The thought of hitting this horror shot that squirts sideways is enough to instil fear in any player. If you shank a shot it is because the ball has been struck out of the point on the clubface where the heel meets the shaft. It usually happens ...

How To Avoid The Fat Shot

Scott Cranfield, 31 July 2008 15:30

The fat shot is an ugly shot. It hurts you, it knocks your confidence and it can destroy your golf game. To prevent the club hitting the ground two or three inches behind the ball you need to learn to get the club and body moving together. Only then will you start to hit more consistently good shots. Watch this ...
