Ballantrae Lesson – #3 - Aiming
Ballantrae Lesson – #3 - Aiming
 
Do you ever pull shots to the left of the target (right-handers) or push them to the right? If so, it may very well be an aiming problem that causes this to happen. It is a proven fact that very few golfers line up to their intended target very well. Most right-handers tend to aim well right of target. Needless to say if you aim to the right of your target, you will have to swing left in order to come anywhere near the intended target. This creates a need to make an incorrect swing.

Do you ever have trouble slicing? Do you lack adequate distance, especially off the tee? If you answered yes to either problem, you are in a huge group of golfers worldwide who suffer from these same problems. The number one reason for this is a poor left hand grip.
