How To Avoid Hooking The Ball

It’s happened to the best of us - and often at the worst of times! You seem to develop a slice out of nowhere and you don’t know what you’re doing differently that’s causing this. Have a look at the video below for tips on fixing your slice and getting your golf game back on track.

Golf: Avoid Slicing

When using a 460cc driver (like the Nike SasQuatch), there are a few keys that you should keep in mind to get the most out of your drive. These tips will help you increase launch height and decrease the spin rate of the ball which will help your drive carry farther.

• Tee the ball up so that the top of the club head is only about 1/3 of the way up the golf ball instead of the traditional setup where the club head is 1/2 way up the golf ball.
• Move the ball up in your stance so that it is almost lined up with the middle of your left foot if you are a right handed golfer.
• Hit the ball on your upswing. The previous tip helps you address the ball so that you can more easily hit the ball on the upswing. With most other clubs, you want to hit the ball when your club is level with the ground but the driver is slightly different and making contact of the upswing will increase the loft of your drive.

Hopefully these tips will help you add a little bit of distance to your drive. You know what they say, drive for show! Let us know if you have any tips that we might have missed!

The video is a little long and it only shows how to use an iron but the basic mechanics of the swing are basically the same when using your driver or other woods. So, have a look and hopefully you’ll find a few tips to take away and use in your game.
