How to Rotate The Toe of the Driver by Tom Stickney Tom Stickney - A Top 100 Golf Teacher Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher

We've talked about things like getting lined up making sure the clubface is square making sure our grip is strong enough as in turn to the right. Making sure we have good grip pressure the club is rounded out and you have a good inside delivery. Now the last piece of a slice puzzle is to go ahead and aggressively release that club and release just means that the toe of the club is going to rotate past the heel a club through and beyond impact. It's the same thing as taking your watch style and just going like that, that's what we're trying to do we're trying to make sure that the face closes down.

If we come in here and the toe trails the heel obviously that's going to put slice spin on the golf ball is going to go into right field somewhere. So our drill has to feel like the watch dial is rotating this way pointing behind us and that makes the toe of the club rotate past the heel the club through and beyond impact. So here we go actively release when I actively release it's just a little drill you see it in take a very hard golf swing I'm really trying to feel this I'm trying to educate my hands to produce this release type of feeling so the ball moves from the right to the left. That is very very important for you not to leave the blade open because if you leave the balde open it will go to the right so by now you have a lot of slice tips there's plenty more to come.
