Fault fixer: The full swing – The slice

The trick is diagnosing what’s going on in your swing. In this video, teacher Josh Zander helps you Read more…

Fault fixer: The full swing – The pull

One of the most “satisfying” misses in golf is the pull because it feels solid – the clubface and swing path are matched up, just too far to the left. There is no glancing blow, like you find with many of the other impact faults. But the ball misses left, so it’s not a shot Read more…

Fault fixer: The full swing – The hook

Fault fixer: The full swing – The thin shot

Another one of the more frustrating mis-hits is thin contact, which happens when you catch the ball on the upswing and hit it low on the clubface. Typically, the ball flies low and not very far.

Butch Harmon: Swing clinic – Lesson 3 – Consistency

What is consistency? For most golfers, it means consistent contact with the ball.
