First thing we got to understand about this pulled shot is this is a shot that should go towards the target here but a pull is going to go left of target by let’s say 10 to 20 yards, maybe a bit more. But a pull goes straight left. It doesn’t curve so much in the air. It’s more sort of dead left of target, almost like you’re aiming that way. First thing is maybe you were aiming that way, maybe not pulling the ball, so maybe hitting it straight just facing that way but check, if your alignment is good you’re aiming straight at target but balls are consistently going left and straight left of target, got to consider that you are pulling the golf ball.

And one of the reasons why you might be pulling the golf ball is that you might be leaning back too much. So during your swing, you sway to your right for the right-handed golfer, you stay to your right and then you drag across yourself and you pull left. And what makes the ball go left is the swing path and the club face are in unison. They’re both – or the face is square to the path but they’re both aiming left. They’re both off line. So instead of a swing path being straight to target here, it’s actually left of target this way heading in this direction. So we have come over the top, pulled it down the left hand side.

Now if the club face is square to that path as well, the ball will drag straight off line down the left hand side and that’s where most people’s pull shot will come from is leaning too far to their back leg, hitting across their body and then dragging it straight down that left hand side. So if you want to avoid pulling the golf ball, you’ve got to change that swing path. You’ve got to change that position of club face. You’ve got to change the way your bodyweight moves through the ball to avoid a pull shot.
