Diagnosis

Faults in the set up could be….

• The clubface could be in an open position (pointing right) at address.
• The grip may be in a weak position. (One or both hands too far to the left of the grip). (See photo right).
• The body alignment may be aiming too far to the left of the target. (Especially shoulders).
• The ball may be positioned too far forward in the stance.
• You may be stood too far away from the ball.
• You may be crouching / Poor posture.

Faults in the swing may be….

• The body weight may stay 50/50 during the backswing. This will be because you are trying to keep your head still and so restricting essential movement to the right of the ball (See photo right below).
• The backswing may be arm dominant with no attempt to turn the shoulders.
• There may be a fundamental misunderstanding of where power in a golf swing is obtained from. This results in a golfer attacking a ball to early in the downswing with the body resulting in an early rotation of the hips and shoulders causing an out to in swing path.
• The body may be in front of the ball at impact.
• There is in 100% of all golfers who slice, a lack of understanding of how the hands/forearms rotate through impact in order to return a clubface to its original position
