Craig Jones from Face First Golf demonstrates three 'cheat moves' to reclaim lost distance and fix a slice without major swing changes. By adopting a stronger grip, dropping the trail foot back, and incorporating a lead hip bump, golfers can transform an over-the-top glancing blow into an high-launch, low-spin 'bomb.'
Switch to a stronger (closed) grip by placing the club in the fingers and seeing 3-4 knuckles on the lead hand.
Drop your trail foot back at setup to naturally encourage an inside-to-out swing path.
Perform a slight hip bump toward the target at setup to create spine tilt, helping you hit up on the driver.
Focus on the 'whip'βthe forearm rollover that allows the club head to release and square up naturally.
Adopt a consistent pre-shot routine to lock in these setup adjustments every time.
