Stop cutting across the ball with this drill #golftips #golfswing #golf
Top UK PGA Coach Alistair Davies shares a practice drill designed to stop golfers from cutting across the ball. By adjusting lead wrist positioning and keeping the knuckles turned down through impact, golfers learn to shallow the shaft and deliver the club from the inside. This technique closes an open face early, eliminates slices, and boosts contact consistency.
Keep the knuckles of your lead hand pointing down toward the ground through impact.
Control your lead wrist position to square the club face early during the downswing.
Allow the club to shallow naturally to promote an inside-out swing path rather than an out-to-in slice path.
Perform short practice swings focusing on face control before building up to full speed.
