Slicing

JOHNGomes · 05-20-2008, 08:53 PM

When using the driver, fairway wood or utlity woods, I almost always have an acute slice issue. It is a nightmare, hwoever I am determined to overcome this.
Please do inform on How do I address this?

At the same time, could you please elaborate on what you mean by: -
1) Leading shoulder - which is my leading shoulder, when I am a right hander
2) Using a Driver 10.5% or more

The leading shoulder for a right handed golfer is the left shoulder.

#1 Can you see two or three knuckles of the left hand at address?
#2 Make sure you can aim your leading shoulder at the target NOT left of the target
#3 Grip the club lightly
#4 Get back to me and let me know if this helped.

I have put to test what you have advised me. However the issue of slicing remains.
Then, I decided to place my thumb on left hand on top and and center of shaft, not left or right, while club is still parallel to the ground.
Then placing my thumb of my right hand slightly more to the left over my left hand.
This has helped overcome my slice, however I am not able to get the distance that I want. I am now hitting 230 metres.
Another point which I do have to apologize is that I have yet to receive my How to Hit a draw DVD. I have sent an email notifying PurePoint on this, and have yet to receive a response. Please help..
