The majority of golfers play a slice off the tee, costing themselves valuable distance. The ball’s significant movement from left-to-right in the air (for right-handers) decreases distance due to the excessive amount of sidespin.
When their side bend is insignificant or incorrect, you can pretty much bet the golfer is going to make poor contact with the ball and the flight will likely be a slice or a pull (those two mis-hits are related).
Instead, you should be more focused on how they are supposed to operate with other parts of the body during the golf swing, says Ryon Bosscher, a Golf Digest Certified Fitness Trainer.
The first tee shot of the day and the last tee shot of the day seem like two very different challenges, but if you’re the typical amateur golfer, they’re a lot more similar than you might think.
When giving a short-game clinic, I’ll often bring up the letter ‘s’ to remind my students how simple it is to execute a standard pitch shot. Here’s why.
