Question: How Can I Get Rid of My Slice and Learn to Hit a Controlled Draw?
Answer: Gary's Quick Tips:
Most slices are caused by an "over the top" swing; that is, a swing that approaches the ball on outside-to-inside swing path. Open clubfaces at impact are another common cause.
Drawing the ball comes from your setup position. The main keys are:
• Keep your alignment closed.
• Put the ball back in your stance.
• Take a strong grip (your leading hand - the top hand on the club - should be turned a little more to the inside).
• Swing from the inside-out; that is, the club should approach the ball from an inside-to-outside swing path.
These fundamentals should help you produce a shot that goes right to left (for righthanders).
