Second Hand Shorts 16: Cure your driver slice

It’s time for another episode of ‘Second Hand Shorts’. You can watch some of the other episodes of the series below:

Today’s short is all about getting rid of that dreaded slice with the driver. Our Pro, James Whitaker, talks us through the drill from Reunion Resort in Orlando..

What I often see is when people set up they have the ball as far forward as possible and lean into the ball.

When you watch me do it you can see my shoulders are wide open so the golf club swings more to the left. That gives you more side spin which makes the ball shoot off to the right.

So when you set up make sure your head is behind the ball. Don’t go chasing after it.

The Shack

Come and join us at The Shack for all of the best instruction and equipment videos.

Resident head pro James Whitaker hosts regular guests from the NCG family to fix some of their most frustrating faults and joins equipment editor James Savage in taking an in depth look at all the latest releases.

NCG’s mystery golfer, Anonymous Big Hitter, then gives all the clubs a proper test while the two Jameses analyse the data with Trackman software.

With a state of the art ShackCart – based on the popular SkyCart – and Trackman, The Shack is the ideal pace for instruction and challenges with Tour professionals.
