Almost for every golf start with the same miss when they start playing for the first time. This shot is, of course, a slice.
For whatever reason, when we first take a club and start shaking it, we tend to come ORDER above. This, coupled with an open face, leads to large slices, banana.
Not only are ugly slices to see, they also cost you tone of distance. And while you can easily play a pallor or cut like your typical ball flight, a slice does not give you that luxury.
Fortunately, arranging a slice is easier than you think. All you have to do is bring your way a little closer to the neutral and manage your face just a little better. For more in the first, we look at a workout used by the great champion twice Xander Schauffle.
Xander’s anti-slice drill
As a reached PGA pro, Schauffle obviously does not fight with a slice as you do a 20-Handicap. But that does not mean that we cannot apply the training principles he is doing above in our games.
As you can see in this video shared by Callaway Golf on XSchauffle has placed a bucket of balls with radius in front of him only inside his target line. The purpose of the exercise is simple: Avoid hitting the bucket.
Putting the bucket on the inside of his target line, where he leaves his club, Schauffle is making sure his road does not take much out. And when he avoids it, he knows he is swinging from the inside and not coming up.
For all the cutters there, this is a great exercise to try. Start slowly at first (so you don’t hurt yourself if you hit the bucket) and work up to full speed. This will teach you how to swing from the inside and keep you from that frightening over-the-top action.
From there, all you have to do is make sure you have your club in the right place. But the adjustment that will have to wait for another day.
