Fault Fixes

  • Cure your slice by changing your path

    Written by Scott Cranfield on Thursday 13 September 2012

    Changing the direction your clubhead is moving as it strikes the ball will go a long way to getting rid of your weak slices. A slice occurs when the clubhead is moving across the ball from out-to-in so you need to change this around so that the clubhead feels like it’s moving through the ball more from the inside. In this golf...

  • Beat blocked iron shots

    Written by Rob Watts on Monday 11 June 2012

    Golfers that spin out with their upper body too much during the downswing will be prone to hitting the occasional block and the clubface is likely to be left open at the point of impact. If this sounds familiar, a great tip would be to feel like you let the club pass you by remaining in your peripheral vision, as TG...

  • Slice no more

  • Right shoulder slice fix

  • Fault Fixer: Blocked Drives

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Tuesday 3 May 2011

    A lot of golfers desperate to cure their slice will deliberately work on changing their swing path so it’s more from out-to-in. But if the clubface remains open to the target, or square to this excessive swing path, the result is a blocked shot that starts right and stays right! A more neutral club path and clubface is required and TG...

  • Fault Fix – Topped shots

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Thursday 12 May 2011

    Topped shots usually occur because the club is rising as it approaches the ball rather than descending into the back of it. Remember that to strike iron shots powerfully, the ball needs to be struck first, creating a divot afterwards. In this golf video tip, TG Elite Teaching Pro Gareth Johnston presents a simple swing thought to do just that. You’ll...

  • Fault Fix – Shank

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Thursday 12 May 2011

    Shanking the ball occurs when the golfer presents the hosel of the club to the ball at impact. This horror shot can be caused by the weight shifting forwards excessively in the downswing or by a swing path that is excessively in-to-out or out-to in. Whatever the cause of your shanks, this simple drill from TG Elite Teaching Pro Gareth Johnston...

  • Fault fixer: Hooked drives

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Wednesday 27 April 2011

    This destructive tee shot is usually caused by the clubface being excessively closed to the path of the club at impact. A simple way to combat this is to get the club coming into the ball more from the outside or get the clubface more open during the swing, as TG Elite Pro Gareth Johnston explains in this golf video...

  • Fault Fixer: Fat iron shots

    Written by Gareth Johnston on Wednesday 27 April 2011

    It’s an embarrassing problem to have, isn’t it? Fatting your iron and wedge shots occurs mostly when the body’s centre moves back behind the ball at impact. Remember the body’s centre or sternum is where the bottom of your swing arc is so if you hang back behind the ball, you’re going to hit the ground first. This video tip from...
