Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about slicing everybody's favorite thing. Now we know that slicing occurs when the path moves from out to in you are swinging across the golf ball. When ever you swing across the golf ball your path starts moving into the left field where is the target relative to where you're swinging. Well if I am swinging from out to in the target is obviously to the right where my swing path is. So I'm going to come through and I'm going to hang on to the club and I'm going to shove the face right where my path is going. Now think about it the ball starts are the face and curves away from the path.
So I want to draw the golf ball I'm swinging left and I hang on to it there's no way for me to hit the ball right to left. The only thing that is going to happen if I swing left if I nose the face down like so when I move that face angle left of the path I'm going to hit a ball starts left and curves further left that's obviously the pull. So in order to stop the slice we have to learn to swing more into right field so when we see more right field now we can actually get the basic working release and now when the face is left of the path the ball will tumble this way. So remember slicing comes from an out to in swing path for 90% of it. If you will fix your swing path have you're path swing more this way you're going to have a lot better opportunity to hit draws. There. are a million ways for you to transition into right field just remember it's a pivot if you have a twist to turn displace weight it is affecting how the club shaft is moving. OK so go see your teacher professional and work on shifting that path to the right field when we do that you'll stop that slice once and for all.
