Weekly golf tip with Brad Redding (Aug. 25)

Slicer solutions: Swing path

A lot of golfers have a downswing where the club is moving too steep and from outside the target line and then inside the target line in the through swing. This leaves the face open. The problem is in the back swing; it swings back too much inside and then has to come down outside. You need to reverse your loop similar to Jim Furyk. Work with three alignment sticks set up like the photo. Your goal is to swing back along or outside the back stick, then under it on the down swing and then above the front stick on the through swing. This type of path will allow you to square up and close the face.
