Cure The Pull In Golf
How frustrating is it when you are out on the golf course and are always playing your second shot from the rough or chipping it out of the trees to get it back into play. This is what can happen when you constantly find yourself hitting a pull shot. In this article we will explore how to cure the pull in golf so you can fairway more often.
One main cause of a pull shot in golf is poor set up at the address position and poor execution of the swing movement itself. This often results in an over the top swing which causes a pull shot in golf.
An over the top golf swing is where the upper body begins to move on the downswing before the lower body. This causes the upper body to get ahead of the lower body which then results in a looped swing on an “out to in” golf swing path. The downswing should mirror the backswing to return the club back to the ball in the same angle as it was at address.
A simple drill is to place an empty range basket just outside the swing path and slightly behind the the ball next time you are on the range and make sure that your club path is from inside the line and not outside. Make sure that you initiate the downswing with the hips. As you get more confident move the basket a little closer to the ball.
Another very simple way to check if you have the correct swing path is to place an alignment aid on the ground near the ball. You can easily use a couple of clubs for this laid parallel to one another.
Hopefully within a short amount of time on the range you can easily cure the pull in golf and start lowering your scores. See you on the fairway.
