Shut Your Face(to stop the slice)

OK, this is going to be short and sweet, but very effective if you are one of those golfers who like to play from the right hand side of the golf course more often than you should. Please understand that if you are hitting your ball to the right then your clubface at impact is pointing to the the right more than it should, so I am going to let you know three ways that you can shut your face.

1. A lot of players like to roll the clubface open the moment they take the club away from the ball, so to prevent this be sure that you feel like you are keeping the clubface looking at the golfball as you begin your golf swing, sense how your right hand and arm are more on top of your left hand and arm as you begin the swing.

2. When halfway back(when the left arm is level with the ground), have a look at the back of your left hand, the logo on your glove should be facing slightly away from you and most definately not toward you, you should sense that you are trying to round out your left wrist somewhat.

3. If after trying the first two moves you are still slicing, then through impact get a sensation that you are going to get the knuckles on the back of your left hand facing the floor as soon as you can, so that by the time your clubshaft is level with the floor in the follow through, you should have rolled your left hand enough that you would be able to catch rain drops in your left palm.

Try these and let me know how you get on, you can download my e-book from www.ianclarkgolf.co.uk which is filled with drills that you can do to help improve your game.
