How Are Sliced And Pulled Golf Shots Related - (Video) Lesson by PGA Pros Pete Styles and Matt Fryer

On the face of it, sliced and pulled golf shots do not necessarily appear to be very related. A pulled golf shot for a right-handed golfer starts left of target and stays left of target. Meanwhile a sliced golf shot starts left of target at cuts quickly to the right hand side of the fairway and finishes to the right of the intended target. However, both of the shots are accomplished by having a similar path angle for the golf club. Generally speaking, the swing path will be from out-to-in and swinging to the left of the intended target. The difference between the two shot shapes is created by the club face being left of target for the pulled shot and right of the swing path for a slice shot.

Now Matt I'd like for you to explain to the guys and girls at home how two shots that look very different out here on the golf range on the golf course are actually very very closely related. If you're prone to hitting these 2 shots you might have stood there and consider how can I possibly missed the 1st fairway to the left side and the 2nd fairway to the right side when I felt like I did exactly the same thing and these 2 shots that are related are going to be a pull shot and a slice shot. Yeah so that's 1st explain what a pull is what slices and then how are they related.

Definitely yeah so I think we all will have done it at some point through our golfing career. You know standing aiming down the left side of a hole in the thought that I'm going to slice it back onto a target and then all the sudden I've had it all left of the fairway and on that one that's prone to hitting a slice compensating by aiming left gets and then they hit an absolute rocket bullet straight of a dead straight and that I aim left and dead on. Ok yeah so this to you I would say there's 2 factors that are involved in this one changes one stays constant as we do there so I would say that if you were that person you've aimed left already so the 1st one thing you're going to be doing is going to be swinging left of your target.
