How To Stop Cutting Your Driver - 3 Easy Tips To Straighten Your Driver Shots Right Away

Posted By Tee It Up Pro Shop On 3. February 2011 @ 14:50 In Misc. Golf Tips | No Comments

For us golfers, there’s no more annoying problem than trying to figure out how to stop slicing your driver off the tee.  We all desire hopelessly to hit a rip down the middle, particularly when our fellow players are down the middle of the fairway already!

Let’s get our drives back in play and down the middle with 3 simple guidelines to straighten the slice.

Straighten the slice Tip 1 ) target Your Shoulders to the Right-

This is one of the most significant guidelines to straighten the cut with the driver.  The reason is a cut is due to a swing trail that’s “outside to in”, or a swing trail that swings too much to the left.  Our swing trail follows the direction that our shoulders are pointing at address to the ball.  So if we point our shoulders towards the target, or maybe even to the right of the target, our swing path will follow; now we have got a more within to out swing path that we need.

Straighten the slice Tip 2 ) “Twist Your Grip” ( Grip the Club More Neutral ) -

There’s a “neutral” position that all of our hands will be at in the moment of impact, whether we love it or not.  It’s just a fact.  Therefore , if our grip is twisted to the left too much, then when we come thru at impact our grip will be twisting to the right ( neutral position ) without us knowing it!

Grip the club correctly at address and you do not have to worry about this.  Have the “V” between your left thumb and forefinger indicating the left-center of your chest.

Have the “V” between your right forefingers and thumb pointing toward your right shoulder.  You may twist the club less at impact now.

Straighten the slice Tip 3 ) Target Your Feet WAY Right ( Practice Drill ) -

This tip is analogous to tip 1, but this is a real practice drill you can do to get the impression of swinging more from the inside.

Set up to the ball and point your feet way right.  That implies your left foot is a bit closer to the ball and your right foot is a foot or two back from the left foot!  Peculiar, huh?  Yes, but this is going to force you to swing from the inside.  My prediction is you’ll be shocked how simple it is to draw the ball now!
