The top shot really is a wasted shot. It happens when you hit on top of the golf ball rather than striking it correctly at the base of the ball.

The reason you’re hitting a lot of slices is because your clubface is open at impact. The problem might be in your backswing. Many slicers fan the face open during the takeaway, resulting in a weak, open position at the top. This forces them to swing down from outside the target line in an effort to square the face, but the...

There are many reasons for hitting a hook shot off the tee, but three of the main causes are too strong a right hand grip, not getting the right knee through the ball, and not taking the clubface away with a little bit of rotation. These three faults can all lead to the right-to-left hook. TG Top 12 Teacher Lee Scarbrow...

If you are prone to hitting your iron shots fat or thin you’ll either be attacking the ball too much from an inside path or too much from an outside path. TG Top 12 Teacher Adrian Fryer uses a hula hoop to demonstrate how easy it is to get the club tracking on the correct swing path into strike the ball.

The dreaded slice. Just about every golfer has experienced it, so much so that nearly everyone even understands what happens when you create a slice. Coming across the ball in an out-to-in swingpath will impart sidespin on the golf ball and see it go from left to right. To change this you need to be able to change the way you deliver...

A lot of golfers pull shots. That’s when the ball flies straight left of your target. There are several common causes of this bad shot. The first can be traced to the set-up.
