Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I slice the golf ball?

A slice is caused by an open clubface relative to the swing path at impact. The most common causes are a weak grip, over-the-top downswing, and poor body rotation. About 80% of amateur golfers fight a slice.

What is the difference between a draw and a hook?

A draw curves gently right-to-left (for right-handed golfers) and is generally intentional and controlled, typically curving 5-15 yards. A hook curves more aggressively right-to-left (20+ yards), is usually unintentional, and often results from an excessively closed clubface or overly strong grip.

How do I fix a push in golf?

A push means your clubface is square to your swing path, but your path is too far inside-out. Common fixes include checking ball position, ensuring proper hip rotation through impact, and avoiding excessive lateral slide in the downswing.

What causes a pull shot in golf?

A pull happens when the clubface is square to a swing path that is too far outside-in. This is often caused by an over-the-top move, coming too steep into the ball, or ball position too far forward.

Why do I hit fat and thin shots?

Fat and thin shots are both caused by inconsistent low point control. Common causes include swaying instead of rotating, improper weight transfer, early extension, and casting/early release of the wrists.
