Here is an article I came across yesterday on Golf Tips Magazine by Jeff Ritter on how to cure your slice. After seeing a few of his videos on this site that helped me a great deal I decided to share his article with the community. I wrestle constantly between an upright and a more flattened swing plane. I have a relatively weak grip and on impact I am guilty of squeezing the grip too tightly for fear of the club leaving my hands. Being 6'-4" my posture tends to be rather upright and yes I do manage to slice the ball quite frequently. I didn't realise that standing too upright and squeezing the club tightly could also contribute to slicing. Here are some useful tips on how to cure your slice.
Since purchasing my 20 degree #3 hybrid over a year ago I put my #5 iron in retirement because I had so much trouble hitting it. I came across an iron drill video by David Leadbetter on Youtube that reminded me about keeping my hands on impact ahead of the ball. I think after re-evaluating my swing I was releasing on impact pre-maturely. I retrieved my #5 out of retirement and started practicing with it again using his tips. The results were amazing. The first video is with David and the iron drill entitled "Great Iron Play".
I'm interested to know if anyone here has experienced a bulging/slipped/ruptured disc in their lower back, and how it related to their golf swing. My entire golfing 'career' I have played around an injured back with only minor difficulty and a 'classical' swing, without so much 'Reversed C' in it. Recently, though, I reinjured my back to an incompacitating level for awhile. I have yet to see a specialist about it, but did find exercises that have releaved most all of the pain, though I have been remiss to practice my full swing yet. A half swing seemed to exacerbate the situation a bit, so I thought about the 'Stack and Tilt' swing. I have tried it a handfull of times (though I'm sure not correctly) and it seems to cause little, if any, problem, since there is little lower back rotation in it, as I understand it. As related to back problems, has anyone else tried this method for relief? Were you able to continue playing 'high' quality golf without complications?
I too am working on shortening my backswing. In my attempt to accomplish that, I now stop my backswing when my right shoulder (lefty) touches just under my chin. I saw a Jeff Ritter video on this site sometime back that recommended squeezing the right bicep firmly against the logo of your shirt to keep your arms close to the body. Trust me it works! Combining that along with making a conscious effort at managing my tempo has had an amazing effect with my accuracy. I am striking the ball so well it's scary. Even when I drop a ball to see if the first shot was a fluke the results have been the same. Last, use your practice swings to check your distance and contact with the ground. It will tell you if your swing is too fat or thin. Keep playing... it's the only way you will improve.
Here are a few great coil drill tips sent to us from G.G. Blake that can be done at home to help you understand how it should feel to properly pivot during your back swing to produce an efficient coil.
My posture is so upright that I tend to rotate my shoulders horizontally. I seem to have trouble getting my left shoulder over my right leg which hinders my weight transfer and robs me of potential power.
First is a coil drill video by Tom Ward entitled "How to Coil for Power in your Golf Swing" that has helped me.
