Question:
I have a problem that is really starting to get to me. I'm a lefty and had a bad slice, I got a stronger grip and really started to roll my arms at impact, this cured the slice, but, now I have a hook, or sometimes a push. I also changed my grips to oversize.
Answer:
You were slicing the ball before because the clubface was open at some point in your swing. In an attempt to square the clubface, you over-used your hands in the downswing. As you have found out, this cure for a slice is always short lived! First of all you need to train your hands and arms to release in front of your body properly (through the ball). You can begin by checking your finish position to determine what you are doing. Follow the directions below to access an online swing checkpoint drill:
