Paul I keep my head back but sometimes I feel maybe I’m holding back too much. My driver and fairway woods, not my irons, start straight at the target then fade 5+ yards. Sometimes more. My irons go straight. Any ideas on this?
If its the spin on the golf ball then this would be a tight wrist issue. Wrists control the spin on the golf ball. Get them looser and you will cure you fades > Slices. Start with this one:
Hello Paul
Going to go out and try your tip today. One of the biggest problems I have is hitting the ball to the left. I’m a 15 handicapper and losing 2-3 shots nearly every round by hitting it left. I started golf late in life and have several “arms only” type of swing. I’m getting better, but it is a tough habit for me to break. Any other tips you might suggest? Thanks
Curing Over the Top is easy, you just have to realize why you are hitting shots left then you can cure it. After you watch that one, go to the SEARCH bar and look for “OVER THE TOP” and you will find many more ways to help you.
Thanks Paul been trying this tip and I’m definitely making better contact, can you let me know if I need to tweak the thoughts a bit for hitting a driver? My irons and fairway woods are good but struggling a bit with the driver when trying to keep my head back and just wondering if I am maybe not hitting up enough when driving!
If you are hitting down with your driver then you might need to keep your head behind the golf ball a little longer. Doing some swings where you feel like you are swinging up to the sky is a great way to feel the head staying behind the golf ball slightly longer. If you are getting pop ups with your driver then your head might be going too far forward. Check out this tip:
