Chip Dead Every Time

Dan Frost, 30 September 2009 10:01

A lot of people have too much wrist hinge in their chipping action. This leads to thinned or fat chips. If you want to ensure you chip dead every time then you have to eliminate the wrists from the action and keep them very quiet in the stroke. TG Top 12 Teacher Dan Frost demonstrates a very effective way to ...

Re-Train Your Swing Path

Adrian Fryer, 30 September 2009 09:05

If you are prone to hitting your iron shots fat or thin you'll either be attacking the ball too much from an inside path or too much from an outside path. TG Top 12 Teacher Adrian Fryer uses a hula hoop to demonstrate how easy it is to get the club tracking on the correct swing path into strike the ...

Give Your Slice A Face Lift With David Leadbetter

David Leadbetter, 26 August 2009 10:04

The reason you're hitting a lot of slices is because your clubface is open at impact. The problem might be in your backswing. Many slicers fan the face open during the takeaway, resulting in a weak, open position at the top. This forces them to swing down from outside the target line in an effort to square the face, but ...

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 ...

SoS Accuracy: Eliminate The Pull

Dan Frost, 24 May 2009 16:46

A lot of golfers pull shots. That's when the ball flies straight left of your target. There are several common causes of this bad shot. The first can be traced to the set-up. Golfers who pull the ball tend to set-up with their shoulders open. The next fault occurs in the downswing. The club tracks into strike the ball from ...

Slice Fix Tip

Dan Frost, 07 May 2009 16:00

The slice is the number one fault in golf. Nearly all of us suffer with that nasty left-to-right ball flight at some time during a round of golf - some more often than others. The question is how do you get rid of it? The key is to learn to get the hands and arms working correctly and rotating in the ...

Cure Your hook

Lee Scarbrow, 07 May 2009 15:30

There are many reasons for hitting a hook shot off the tee, but three of the main causes are too strong a right hand grip, not getting the right knee through the ball, and not taking the clubface away with a little bit of rotation. These three faults can all lead to the right-to-left hook. TG Top 12 Teacher Lee ...

Stop Slicing

Dan Frost, 07 May 2009 15:30

Want to stop slicing your shots? This is the drill for you. It's very simple. Just line three golf balls up, the centre ball is the one you'll strike, then one above and just behind the middle ball away from the target and one below and just ahead of the middle ball, towards the target. The goal is to strike ...

Fix Heel & Toe Hits

Butch Harmon, 09 January 2009 15:11

Driver heads are huge, but I still see plenty of heel and toe hits. The reason? Most golfers swing it too hard, with either the hands and arms or the hips racing out of sequence on the downswing. Either way, the club gets re-routed, leading to off-centre contact. If you pull the club down from the top with your hands ...

Fix A Slice With David Leadbetter

David Leadbetter, 02 January 2009 01:00

...simply ensure you get your right elbow in the 'slot'. There are a lot of ways you can fix a slice, but one of my favourites is to focus on the right elbow - moving it into the 'slot' on the downswing. The slot is a position just in front of the right hip, where the right elbow sits under ...

Golf tip demonstrating how to stop the top shot By TG User - Mark Crossfield

3-ball drill to stop your slice

Dan Frost, 14 October 2008 11:29

A simple, yet very effective drill to train you to stop slicing is to place three golf balls on the ground in a diagonal line and strike the centre ball. If you can do this without disturbing the two outside balls then your swing path will be re-trained. Watch this video instruction tip to learn how to set the balls ...

Learn a tennis forehand to fix your slice

Dan Frost, 14 October 2008 11:11

One of the easiest ways to stop slicing shots is to learn how to play a forehand topspin shot in tennis. That's because the golf swing motion that causes a slice is very similar to a drop shot in tennis. The racquet approaches the ball from a steep angle and cuts across the target line, holding the clubface open, putting ...

Cure your hook using a tee peg

Dan Frost, 14 October 2008 11:00

If you hook the ball right-to-left then the origins of your mishit can often be traced back to your takeaway. If you hood the clubface into a closed position as you take the club away then the chances are the club will return to the same closed position as it strikes the shot. Simply placing a tee peg in the ...

Improve your distance and ball striking

Dan Frost, 14 October 2008 10:47

Many golfers suffer from inconsistent ball striking and as a result lack distance. The cause of this is often leaning back as you strike the ball. TG Top 12 Teacher Dan Frost has a simple drill you can do using the base of your golf bag as an impact point to train you to synchronise the swing and strike the ...

Split the hands to stop slicing

Dan Frost, 14 October 2008 10:38

Do you suffer with a slice that sends the ball turning left-to-right into trouble? If so, this is a great drill for you. Simply split your hands on the club so that there is a gap between them, then hit some easy half shots. This will train you to 'release' the club, rather than resisting the clubhead rotation. Watch this ...

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 ...

Better Ball Striking | Split Hands Drill

Zane Scotland, 01 September 2008 01:00

Do you suffer with inconsistent ball striking? It’s something that haunts my game too from time to time but it’s easily fixed. If my timing is just slightly off then I’ll use this very simple split hands drill to improve my ball striking.

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 ...
