How To Fix Your Golf Slice & Hook

PGA Professional Georgia Ball explains how to eliminate slices and hooks by mastering club face control and swing path alignment. Using the HackMotion wrist sensor, she demonstrates how lead wrist extension or flexion at the top of the backswing dictates ball flight, offering a simple towel drill to correct path issues.

• The club face accounts for 80-85% of the ball's initial direction, largely controlled by lead wrist angles.
• A lead wrist that is too extended (cupped) at the top of the backswing causes an open face and a slice.
• The 'Motorcycle Drill' helps golfers feel proper wrist flexion (bowing) to prevent the club face from opening.
• Swing path is corrected by visualizing a natural arc with alignment sticks or using a towel as a physical barrier to prevent over-the-top or inside-out swings.
