One Drill to Stop Hitting Golf Shots Right

PGA Advanced Fellow Alistair Davies explains why golf shots curve right and demonstrates practical drills to fix an open clubface. By refining grip structure, keeping the lead wrist flat at the top of the backswing, and executing proper forearm rotation, golfers can eliminate slices and pushes.

• Ensure a neutral-to-strong grip in the fingers, showing 2 to 3 knuckles on the lead hand.
• Keep the lead wrist flat at the top of the backswing to prevent the clubface from opening.
• Rotate the forearms and wrists through impact so the lead palm faces upward in the finish.
• Use the trail-hand-under-lead-hand practice drill to develop the feeling of a flat wrist and rotational release.
