Weekly golf tip with Brad Redding (Oct. 20)

Slicer solutions: In sync

This is my all-time favorite way to turn a slicer into a drawer. In the photo I have three circles: one on my chest, one on my hands and one on the clubhead. The body (chest circle) should move the least in a golf swing and the slowest. The hands should move a little more and a little faster and the clubhead should move most the fastest.

Most golfers have it backward. Set up to a golf ball and make a backswing. On the downswing, leave your back facing the target and bring the arms and club down. The clubhead would pass your arms and the clubface would be closed at impact. Do this until you can get every ball to go left. Then start swinging faster and the golf ball will turn your old slice into a nice draw.
