Grooved Golf Swing Series - How To Hit Your Target If You Have A Slice Or Hook
When they do this, they are trying to do what even the good golfers find hard to do. Usually they don't try.
They will all tell you that the straight shot is the hardest golf shot to master in the whole game of golf.
If you are a beginner, your ball will go every way which way most likely, and trying to hit a straight shot is nearly an impossibility.
When you progress a bit, actually, quite a bit, you will realize that you have a - call it natural - large slice or hook.
As you progress even more, you will be left with a natural slight fade or a natural slight draw.
All the professional golfers have either one or the other. Of course they can move the golf ball either way which is the next step in the progression towards becoming a top golfer.
If you are at the stage where you have a rather large slice or hook every time you hit your ball, especially with your driver, you should include this in your thinking when you are aiming at your target, whether it is the middle of the fairway, or the green.
Having such a factor in your game and trying to hit a straight shot hoping that this time the ball will go straight is wrong thinking.
If you are a right hander and you have a big slice, aim at the left side of the fairway or green equal to the amount of the usual slice, and allow the ball to move back to the target.
This is one remedy to allow you to score better, and what is more important, allow you to enjoy your game more.
The other remedy of course is to get some tuition and correct the fault in your swing.
Incidentally, if you do have a big slice, turning your top hand in an anti clockwise direction, (making it stronger) may help.
This helps for a bad hook too. It helps to bring your club head square at impact.
Hooking the ball is also caused by moving your head forward during your down swing. Always try to keep your head behind the ball.
