Golf Tip No. 1 - "Stop That Slice"

If you are like most and slice the ball away to the right (for a right handed player) my NMS (No More Slice) Swing trainer is for you.

The most common cause of the slice is when a player’s club shaft becomes steeper on the downswing moving the club shaft away from the correct swing plane. This is commonly due to the first movement of the downswing being dictated by the shoulders and a player attacking the golf ball from the top of the backswing. This causes the hands, arms and club shaft to change swing plane and move forwards towards the ball.

In video 1 (below) you will see the swing of a slicer hitting the NMS tubing on the downswing. This tubing was located in front of the swing plane at the setup position and shows a shift in the swing plane during the downswing causing a slice or pulled shot.

In video 2 (below) you will see the golf club shaft missing the NMS tubing both on the backswing and on the downswing promoting a more desirable angle of attack into the ball.

The NMS fault fixer is totally safe to use and is available for use with all golf coaching sessions.

Golf Tip No. 2 - "Better Chipping"

The two most important essentials for consistent chipping are to setup with good alignments and strike the ball with a flat left wrist.

The most common flaw that I have seen in amateur chipping is when a player tries to flick or lift the golf ball into the air.

Setup:

For successful chipping setup as follows:
1. Take a reduced hold on the club for control.
2. Start with a narrower stance width again for control as body movement will be limited.
3. Locate the golf ball slightly back of centre in the stance to ensure a ball then floor crisp contact.
4. Set the grip and club shaft pointing toward the left shoulder. According to the golfing machine the left shoulder is the swing centre and the left arm is the swinging arm.
Backswing:

During the back stroke keep wrist cock to a minimal

Impact:

During the down stroke lead with the hands ensuring the golf club head is in a condition of lag.

Follow through:

During the impact interval with the ball and into follow through ensure that the left wrist (for a right handed player) is flat and is an extension of the forearm. I use a training aid that I call Rudolph in my coaching sessions to ensure the club shaft does not ‘flick’ during the stroke.

This is critical to good, consistent strikes throughout every golf stroke and is the Golfing Machines First of Three Imperatives!!
