Using a straightening rod will *eventually* fix your piece. Here is the way

At some point, many golfers go through the strange (and frustrating) process of cutting the ball over and over again. Even there you think you do everything the way you used to do it when you did it he didn’t cut, the ball just comes off the club in a weird way and ends up going the right way (to the right player).

While there are several different reasons for a slice – from a poor grip to getting into a bad swing – at the end of the day, players cut the ball because their clubface is open.

Instead of going to the range and hitting ball after ball, it’s time to be more intentional about improving your hitting.

To help, GOLF 100 Senior Instructor Dom DiJulia suggests using a golf club that can improve your swing quickly (and efficiently). So check out DiJulia’s explanation below – again in the end recover from permanent cuts.

Why do you keep cutting the golf ball

“If you’re constantly swinging and you don’t know why, like most golfers, chances are you’re swinging high – meaning the club meets the ball,” DiJulia said.

When a [right-handed] The player comes up, the clubface opens up and creates a good amount of left-to-right spin, which is why your ball always seems to roll back towards that side of the hole.

So how can you fix this problem to cure your chronic pain? DiJulia suggests using an alignment rod.

“Swinging from inside to outside rather than outside-to-in (over-up) requires the right sequence,” he adds. “This means you need to start your movement from the ground up using your feet, knees and hips, avoiding the temptation to move your arms and shoulders first.”

The following lesson teaches you how.

Try using an alignment rod to adjust your piece

Start by having your friend or golf instructor place a straight golf club between your elbows, so that it is parallel to the ground. Swipe up, stop, and let them hold the stick in place.

Next, do your daily countdown.

If you properly initiate your downswing with your lower body and swing your arms from the inside, the club should come down parallel to the ground – or back hit the turf first. But if the front hits the ground first, you know you’ve swung high. If the latter occurs, restart the drill.

To help feel the correct club path, try to swing your left hip forward and over your lead ankle [the left one for a righty player] as you take your retreat. Stand there and make sure the stick is still parallel to the ground and on your elbows.
