Comment PURE and I’ll send you 6 of my best ball striking drills

In this short instructional tip, The Logical Golfer explains how to diagnose and fix a slice by monitoring clubface orientation in the first foot of the backswing. By aligning your golf glove logo to match your spine angle during the takeaway, you can keep the clubface square and eliminate compensations at impact.

• Most slicing issues begin in the first foot of the backswing (the takeaway).
• A glove logo pointing toward the sky indicates an open clubface, causing shots to slice right.
• A glove logo pointing toward the ground indicates a closed clubface, leading to a hook.
• For a square clubface, position your glove logo neutral so it matches your spine angle during early takeaway.
