Make a commitment this season: take 6 lessons, hit 2000 balls or 150/week, and play 4 rounds of golf with your best golfing buddies. In other words, take the pressure off and make the changes.

TIP #1 - STOP YOUR SLICE FOR GOOD
A golf club is a two-levered tool. The shaft is one lever, and the clubface is the other lever. If the clubface is not rotating, in other words, the toe and the heel are traveling at the same speed, you are a slicer. This is called a check swing; no shaft rotation, no clubface rotation. This swing will impart a slice spin on the ball, or a ball that curves to the right. In order to impart a hook spin on the ball, you will need to learn to make the toe travel around the heel or at least faster than heel. The concept of keeping the clubface “square” is an illusion in golf. Trying to keep the clubface square is a slice.

Quite the contrary, in a well-struck golf shot where the clubface is arriving at the ball slightly open and the toe is traveling faster than the heel — as these forces meet the ball, the clubface rotates from slightly open, to a split second square, to a quickly closing clubface (toe traveling faster than the heel) imparting a HOOK spin.

There is a war going on — between a slice spin and a hook spin. If the toe of the clubface is not traveling fast enough and the clubface is not closing fast enough, the slice spin will prevail over the hook spin and the ball will curve to the right. On the other hand, if the face is rotating fast enough and the toe quickly closes in on the ball at impact — a hook spin will prevail over the slice spin and the ball will curve to the left. TRY IT. Rotate the toe around the heel!!

Hit 100 continuous hooks and your slice will be gone for a lifetime.
