Based upon the teachings in the great instructional book “The four magic moves to winning golf” by Joe Dante.

We have taken our own teachings and added them to the teachings of Dante to create a method of swinging which will fix a slice.

If you follow step by step the movements taught in this video will fix your slice for good. These moves are simple to learn and easy to implement.

With a little time spent on the practice tee working on these moves your game will change for the better.

In short, the 4 magic moves to fix a slice are:

-Hinging the wrists in a way which flattens the left wrist
-Completing the backswing turn to the top with good extension
-Starting the downswing with a lateral hip slide while the head remains behind the ball
-Rotating both the body and the arms through impact.

Thumbs up for great golf!

Use this very simple drill to gain awareness of the correct amount of arm rotation in the swing.

The drill involves making short swings (to about half way back) without a club, focusing on where the thumbs are pointing.

At half way back and halfway through we are trying to get the thumbs to be pointing upwards. (If being really precise they should also be pointing slightly behind you.)

Get the feeling firstly without a club and watch yourself swing in a mirror if possible.

Take the same feeling and with practice swings repeat the drill, halfway back and then through.

Once you have a good feeling for being able to repeat the motion with the club, tee up a ball and try to repeat the feelings in a short swing with the ball.

You may find (like I did in the video) that your swing with the ball becomes a little longer than the practice swings.

The main thing here though is to get the arm rotation repeating with the ball being hit, so don’t worry too much on the length of swing, as long as it is shorter than normal.

Creating lag in the golfswing is easy when you know how.

The key is to have soft hands and let the body turn pull the club down to the ball instead of trying to hit the ball with the hands.

Make lots of practice swings with your driver, start slow and have a really light grip on the club.

Swing back making sure to turn the shoulders fully, then concentrate on unwinding the body towards the target feeling like you are leaving the club behind. Body first, arms, hands and club follow.

When you see players with extreme lag like Sergio Garcia, Rickie Fowler and Ben Hogan, they have the left wrist in a cupped position until very late in the downswing.

We are NOT looking to create excessive lag like them. What you want to achieve is a 90 degree angle between left forearm and clubshaft until about halfway down.

After you get halfway down the body will be slowing down and therefore the club will start to release and the angle will lessen.

Lag is good, but too much is too much. The main thing here is to turn the body through the ball and have the arms, hands and club follow.

Ever been told to take the club away low and slow?

If you have then this drill will help you do just that.

Many people get excessively handsy on the takeaway, trying to get the club to the top as quick as possible.

Many problems can stem from this, such as getting the clubface open, laying off the shaft or even picking up the club too steeply. Not to mention a loss of rhythm.

A quick little drill is to place a ball about a foot behind the original ball (in practice obviously) on an extension of the ball to target line.

Try to sweep the 2nd ball away from you with the back of the club as you start back.

This will quieten down the hands and allow you to start back more with the shoulders, arms and hands in unison.

If you are looking to make your swing look good, having a nice tight, rounded swing which swings back and through on a similar plane is the way to go.

There are other advantages to this type of swing as well as looking good.

Swinging back and through on a good swing plane can help with distance and accuracy.

Having a loop in the swing has an effect on the amount of shoulder turn and connection of arm and body swing. Both will hinder transmitting power from the big muscles to the club.

If you swing over the top you will most likely suffer from pulls and slices, neither of which we like when playing.

By using the drill shown in the video you will start to get a feeling for where the right arm and elbow should be swinging and then its about practising this till it becomes a natural movement in your swing.
