The Most Telling Training Aid That You Have... But Never Knew It

Truth be told, this first tip is so obvious that you might give yourself a smack of the forehead and think.. "why didn't I think of that". Have you been on the range working on your game and you're just randomly watching balls sail left or right? Sure, you might be striking the ball okay but that direction.. it's not even close. This tip is particularly great if you're a golfer who fights the slice.

If you were to line up 10 golfers I would almost guarantee that 9 out of 10 of them would be wearing something in common. Sure they are wearing shirts and bottoms but we have to look closer at the equator. Their belt. The belt is such an under rated piece of equipment and the fact is that our belts can tell us a lot about what's going on with our ballflight. Leaving shots out to the right? Hit your next shot and hold your finish and pay attention to where your belt or navel are pointing. Chances are it's pointing right in the general direction where your ball landed. If you have your belt pointing to the right (if right-handed or left for a left-handed golfer) chances are you slid (lateral shift) and you never cleared your hips. Keep this in mind.

Note: If your belt is pointing right and you hit a hook you have to know that you either lost connection, spun out of the shot or had a cast at the top.

Hope this helps.

Until The Next Tee
