You'll Never Struggle With Slices or Hooks After This
Stu Cartwright from Good Golf Coaching reveals how to eliminate the frustrating two-way miss by focusing on the face-to-path relationship rather than individual swing metrics. The lesson covers specific grip corrections for both slicers and hookers, followed by dynamic stepping drills designed to recalibrate leg action and club path for a straighter ball flight.
Face-to-path is the most critical metric for controlling ball flight curvature; a positive value indicates a slice, while negative indicates a hook.
Slicers often have a weak lead hand; use the 'press-up' feel to strengthen the grip and close the face relative to the path.
Hookers typically have a trail hand too far underneath the grip; move the palm more on top to neutralize the face.
Correct path issues through leg action: Slicers should step toward the target in the backswing, while hookers should step away in the through-swing.
Fixing the grip is a prerequisite before attempting to change the swing path, otherwise, compensations will worsen.
