If you tend to hit weak slices, this drill is the cure. Notice in the picture how the arms are extended and rotating, the glove is hidden from view and the toe of the club is turning toward the target. These are components of a powerful release that help create speed and solid contact. To capture this feeling, start in the position pictured then take the club back to about ¾. Now swing back to where you started, holding that position for a few seconds. Repeat these steps a few times then try it with a ball. You’ll be well on your way to longer, straighter shots.
