Coach’s Answer
Your question: “My drives always slice”
A popular one—let’s dial this in. 🎯 Here’s how to make this feel automatic.
To fix your slice, focus on engaging your lats during your swing. When you reach the top of your backswing, think about getting your lead butt against the wall. This helps create a stretch in your muscles, which can lead to better clubhead speed and control as you come down into your downswing.
Make sure your upper body is not collapsing or moving over-the-top. Engaging your lats properly will help you maintain a more connected swing, allowing for a more powerful and accurate shot. Practice this feeling with a training ball if you have one; it can really help you understand the correct muscle engagement.
Remember, it’s all about creating that elastic stretch in your muscles. When you engage properly, you’ll feel the difference in your swing and start to see those slices turn into straighter shots.
Key Points
- Engage your lats and lead butt against the wall at the top of your swing.
- Avoid collapsing your upper body to prevent an over-the: top move.
