Dealing With Problems With Your Golf Club Driver

Problems with golf club drivers are common. Be it their slice or hook, golfers everywhere are looking for ways to improve their game. We’ve compiled some tips that could that could help you reduce the slice or hook and effectively help you score better.

It is important to practise your swing. I know, you must be saying that you practise your swing several times, every day. Have you tried practising to swing your club “easier and more fluid”? Concentrating on swinging easy can drastically improve your performance. It will improve your ability to position yourself for a good approach shot. Your swings will also make more consistent impacts with the ball. This will reduce the amount of side-spin.

Try to switch to a low spin ball. With a lower spin off the tee, your ball is going to go in more straight regardless of whether your ball moves right or left. Some good examples of low spin ball are the Titleist DT SoLO, the Maxfli Noodle and the Precept Laddie. Low spin balls will be a huge help in reducing the side spin that is placed on the ball.

Again, the best way to address your problems with your golf club driver is practise, practise and more practise. Practise even without a club in your hand. During quiet or free times in your day, close your eyes and visualise yourself holding the club.

Visualisation is a very powerful tool. You must have heard the story of the POW who was holed up in Vietnam years ago. The driving force that made him survive his ordeal was his constant visualisation and concentration on practising his shots. He would close his eyes and shut himself off from the rest of the world. In his mind, he was back on the golfing greens making perfect shot after shot. When he and his mates were finally released and he was able to head back home, his first shot was a hole in one. Visualisation is indeed a very powerful tool. And so is the will to succeed.

So don’t give up just yet. The tips above, practise and visualisation can help you with your slice and hook. And before you know it, your troubles with your golf club driver will be a thing of the past.
