It seems that I fixed my slice (I'm a Lefty), now I have developed a dead pull to the right. I cannot figure it out, it started on Thursday night when I went to the range all of my drives were headign straight right. I checked my alignment it seemed on line with my target area. Then on Friday night I went back again to work on my drives and forget it dead pull right. So Saturday I played with Spiko, my first drive was straight down the middle, the second one leaked left, then every drive from that point was dead right, straight, but dead right. Finally on the ninth hole I hit one straight. If you guys have any ideas or have gone thruogh this I would appreciate your comments.

Daniel, A slice for a righty is left-to-right so for a lefty it's right-to-left....

I get this all the time. If I don't turn my shoulders all the way, then they're ahead of the rest of my swing. The result is a well struck pull. Try to focus on finishing your shoulder turn and you'll be back to pushing it left in no time :)

I think you may be comming over the top with a closed club face, that will give you the pull. If your clubface was open it would be a slice. Try flattening out your swing plane and swinging through to the target, that will help. Good lluck with the fix

Pete from what I saw on Saturday, your alignment was fine, and your body rotation towards the end of the round was fine as well ( I was not paying attention to your earlier tee shots) whenever I hit a dead pull to the left, it is beacuse I let my hands and shoulders get ahead of my body, this is tipically caused by having a half ass shoulder rotation at the takeaway move, I get to quick and the result is a pull, this also happens when I want to hit a big drive, and so rather than acelerating my lower body I acelerate my arms, see how your shoulders are rotating and go on from there.

hockey17 has answered the question correctly Flattening out your swing plane is a major swing change and in my opinion, a little drastic for a little case of the pulls. |

hockey17 has answered the question correctly I,was reading about the Slice,most people think they slice,because they swing from OUT-TO-IN or because they CUT ACROSS THE BALL. if you slice,it is for one reason only: the face of your club is OPEN,at impact relative to the path of the clubhead.the key to hitting straight shot is the back of your right hand.if the back of your right hand is aligned to the left of the target at impact,the face will be Open and you will hit a slice.if the back of your right hand faces the target at impact and your grip is fairly neutral or strong,there is no way you can hit a slice. |

Slices and pulls actually result from the same fault: Out to In path. The clubface determines the initial direction of the ball (upwards of 80%). The difference between a slice and a pull is the the angle of the clubface in relation to the path. So, if the clubface is square to the out to in path, you will hit a pull, if it's closed to the out to in path, you'll hit a pull-hook, and if it's open to the out to in path, you'll hit a deflected slice (pull slice).
