Most amateur golfers suffer from slice. The effect is most pronounced with the driver. The driver is not an easy club to hit because it is long and it has very little loft (usually 10 degrees). We tee up the ball when we use the driver to be able to hit it in the upswing hence giving it enough loft to achieve a long parabolic flight. As we know from physics, the longest range is achieved with a 45 degree launch. Now the problem amateur golfers have is that they don’t take these factors into consideration and try to hit the driver they hit a long iron or a wood. The position of the ball is way forward in stance, at your right foot heel level and your center of gravity behind the ball. You cannot shift the center of gravity to where the ball is. Moving your torso too much will keep you off balance. An easy swing with good tempo and a full finish is what you should visualize. Take a look at this video from a Mexican dude that shows you how it is done.
G.McKenna Golf Haiku
Gigantic driver Fuels my testosterone dreams Three-hundred yard drive.
Gotta get a grip On this game that has gripped me Before it gives me the grippe.
My ball is engulfed By autumn’s crimson bounty Perils of fall golf.
Chipmunk takes cover Knows the stone wall may save him From my wicked slice.
Smashed it off the tee. But why did my second shot Only go ten yards?
Three-foot downhill putt Just keeps going and going. Now six feet back up.
Winter rules beckon Even in the August heat. Don’t heed that siren’s call.
Splashdown in the pond A chorus of croaks erupts Laughter of the frogs.
Snack bar girl so cute Even though I’m not hungry Gimme another hotdog.
Kerplunk. Rattle. Plop. Sweet euphony on the green. Sunk another putt.
