FIRST AID FOR SLICERS

First aid for this is initially to get the ball set up correctly and to learn the correct left hand motion. But because the hand action has been opening in the past, we need to learn to have them closing as opposed to opening during contact. Now I stress this is Driver First Aid, and I would not teach this to a student with a driver but rather with an iron. Yet I know many of you out there hit the range, and 75% of balls you hit are with your PING G15 Driver.

So tee up your PING G15 Driver on a tall tee. Get set up with the ball forward in the correct near low point slot, and then open the clubface as though you are going to hit it out of bounds way to the right. Now make a swing with the purpose of hitting it straight. If you managed to hit the ball anywhere near straight, you have just managed to learn how to close the clubface. If it has gone to the right then your left hand is not closing the face. Most players grasp this pretty quickly and after a few shots can go back to aiming straight. Try it, and you may see a little draw at first but certainly not a huge slice anymore.

To tame a PING G15 Driver in the long run you will need to build the foundations of your shorter swings solidly. That too is where you work out which parts of the swing are causing the problems and tackle them one at a time – over time. If your ball position is inconsistent, then it will be harder to isolate issues. Fix that first. Keep ball position consistent. Then watch your ball flight, and you can work out what the club face is doing.

So if any of you come to see me and ask about your driver issues, please expect to find yourself on the chipping and pitching areas because there is where we will work out these club face versus ball flight issues for more lasting effect.
