Slice Golf Shot Drill 10 Practice swing on a ball above feet lie (Video) - Lesson by PGA Pro Pete Styles

Here’s a really good golf tip for you. When you’re out on the golf course and you’ve got a couple of minutes to spare while you’re waiting for the group in front or you’re watching your mates tee off, you don’t need to hit a golf ball with this exercise but it’s a really good way of just flattening your swing a little bit, reducing the over-the-top slicing habits. Now most teeing grounds will be built up and therefore around the side of the teeing ground there will be the small slopes, so if you could stand at the bottom of a slope, looking up the slope so it’s in front of you like this, and you have the slope of the ground – maybe the ball or the ground would be positioned about here, and just make practice swings. Standing quite tall, around your body and clip the turf, around your body and clip the turf.

Then when you get to your normal position, your goal or swing will feel like it’s shallowing out a little bit and it’s rotating your hands a little bit more because this is a little bit more of the baseball style of angle which is a flatter, more rotational swing with gold club rather than being over this way. And we know that when we hit a golf ball with a ball above the feet it draws for this reason because the swing is a little bit flatter and more around the body. So when you’re out in the golf course, it’s not a practice ground because most practice grounds are flatter, of course, but when you’re out in the golf course, you’re waiting for the group ahead of you to tee off and you just got a little five minutes, you find yourself on a small slope on the side of the tee, you pick the golf club up on the turf set in front of you, and up in the air, around your body, rotate through, just have practice swings, clipping the turf at that level, that should encourage you then. When you step up to the ball on the teeing grounds, you rotate a little bit better, you see more draw flights and less slicing shots.
