Why scooping and slicing ruin compression #golfswing #golftips
In this Me and My Golf tutorial, instructors explain how scooping and slicing destroy ball compression. They demonstrate the 'Pump Drill'—a technique used by Rory McIlroy—to help golfers feel the correct downswing sequence and shallow the club path for a more powerful, compressed strike.
Avoid 'spinning' the chin and shoulders together, as this steepens the shaft and leads to a slice.
Use the Pump Drill to feel the lower body leading the downswing while the arms drop the club into the slot.
Correct an over-the-top path by first learning to start the ball to the right (for right-handers).
Once the path is corrected, focus on releasing the wrists through impact to square the face and eliminate the push-slice.
