5. Shoot For The Corner Pocket
Most people think a solid strike is into the back of the ball. In reality, a solid hit that curves left strikes the ball’s inside corner.
To help visualize this, imagine you’re standing on a pool table. As you swing, I want you to strike the inside of the ball as if you were driving it into the table’s right corner pocket (denoted by the red pushpin). This gets the club traveling on a path from inside the target line to outside the target line, encouraging a right-to-left spinning shot. Most golfers do the exact opposite, striking from the ball’s outside corner, thus pulling or slicing the ball from left to right. As long as your clubface continues to close through impact and you hit the ball’s inside corner, your slice will be gone forever.
Some great information here. The slice seems to be the biggest problem most of the weekend golfers have.
Thanks for explaining it this way.
