Slice or Release

Problem

You slice the ball while using your driver and woods.

Cure

Double check to ensure if you are turning your hands over to square the clubface before impact.

Therapy

If your swing is too steep, it will discourage your ability to release. Encourage a flatter swinging plane by hitting balls from a side hill. Set the ball above your feet and you will feel the need to swing as if you are hitting a baseball. Keep this feeling in mind as you set up to the ball with a normal lie. Now focus on swinging and extending your arms more around your body.
