How to Fix ANY Golf Miss ⛳ Slices, Hooks, Chunks, Thins, & Shanks!
Paige Spiranac breaks down the five most common golf misses: slices, hooks, shanks, chunks, and thins. She explains the mechanical causes of each miss and provides actionable drills, such as maintaining spine angle and aggressive hip rotation, to improve ball-striking consistency.
To fix a shank, move slightly further from the ball and keep your weight in your heels.
Correct a hook by rotating your hips aggressively through impact to prevent the hands from 'flipping.'
Fix a slice by keeping your back to the target longer during the transition to let the hands drop into the 'slot.'
Prevent chunks by rotating around a steady spine angle rather than dipping the lead shoulder.
Cure thin shots by practicing punch shots and committing to hitting the ground and taking a divot.
