golf, why do my tee shots keep going right, how can i correct this?

Answer 1

Well the club face is open as you hit the ball and the club is swiping across the ball, so it's coming from out to in. What you need to do is make sure you are gripping the club predominantly with the fingers of the left hand and you can see two, to two and a half, knuckles.

Go down the driving range, get your driver out and experiment with your left hand grip. Then just move your left hand to the right until your ball starts to turn in the air or go straight.

Answer 2

You first have to determine if you are lining up with your target. Take a golf club and set it on the ground lined up with the target. Place your feet parallel to the club and take a few shots. If you are still hitting the ball right, then it could be because the face of the club is not square at impact. This could be because you are gripping the club too tightly. Try loosening your grip some. You may also check to make sure you have a fundamentally sound grip. If right handed, make sure that the crease between your thumb and forefinger on your left hand are pointed at your right shoulder. Also make sure that the crease on your right hand when gripping the club forms a straight line with the crease on your left hand. If all this is OK then you look at your backswing and weight shift. Your weight should start shifting to the instep of your right foot as you coil. As you swing down, the weight should transfer smoothly to your left foot. At the completion of the swing, make sure that your belt buckle is pointed at the target. You will produce a shot to the right if your followthrough is not complete. On shots that end up right, look at your buckle and it will probably be pointing at where the ball ended up. This should get you started. If all this does not work, then get the pro to look at your swing.

Answer 3

could be a lot of different things. Rather than take advice from people who have never seen you hit a ball 30 minutes w/ a pga professional is your best bet check w/ the pro shop at your local course.They can put you in contact w/ a teaching pro. Lessons are generally $30 to $45 for 1/2 hour And the people telling you to aim left are wrong the further left you aim the more you'll slice

Answer 4

My husband taught me years ago to turn the club in when teeing off. In other words the golf club face should be slightly closed. This helps to straighten your shot, has worked for me for 20 years! I shoot about a 45 for 9, so it does work!

Answer 5

Move your left foot back slightly about 1/2 an inch to see the improvement

Answer 6

I assume you are right handed and are slicing the ball.

You are swinging "inside-out" when the ball slices. And when you hook a ball you are swinging "outside-in".

A simple rule to try and correct it is to (after contact with the ball and during follow through)...keep your hands everso slightly lower and bring them round to the left more.

These symbols are pretty crap but if you can imagine each one as your swing.

/ Outside-in

\ Inside out (your slice)

^ Perfect

Try to imagine what the club is doing and 'push' it more towards the pin (and left) as opposed to 'pushing it' to the right.

Answer 7

I think "dumbchild" has your solution. Also try to reduce the height of your backswing, your arm should be parallel to the ground, that's all the force you need. You don't have to swing like a gorilla. Mind if I play through?

Answer 9

Go to a golf professional and let him look at your swing.

Answer 10

what i would say is that ur hips are probably turned too much at impact, which makes you open the club face and slice. try to keep your hips back at impact.
