"The ball starts out to the right usually at a very sharp angle rising at a normal height and continues to curve to the right. CAUSE: The left hand is failing in its function as a fulcrum against which the right hand strikes. Immediately prior to and during the moment of the club's contact with the ball, the right hand speeds up the club head. It cannot do this if the left hand fails to offer a backward resistance against the upper end of the club handle. At the moment of impact the hands work not together but against each other."

Download : "The real downside, of course, is that there is no one magical cure; no one single solution that will eliminate the banana ball forever; no one swing thought or drill that will rid all slicers of the problem. In fact, the causes and cures vary dramatically from one golfer to the next, making many "foolproof" slice cures obsolete... The solution is a square or slightly closed clubface as it contacts the ball." 'GOLF DIGEST CURE YOUR SLICE FOREVER!' Foreword by DAN JENKINS 1.

Download : "The majority of players who fail in transmission of power do so because their left hand fails to act as a fulcrum for the right hand to strike against. The left hand must bear back against the right. Maintain this pressure and ask yourself "What am I doing with the upper palm of my left hand?" You will discover that you are very decidedly pressing the club handle backward against the forward pressure of the right hand. This back pressure of the left hand must be exerted at the moment of impact if you are to overcome completely the inertia of the ball. If you fail to do it the club handle may go through, but the club head will come dangling along behind like a cow's tail." By The Dunns of Musselburgh, East Lothian, Scotland.

"I don't think the fundamentals will ever change. All right, then. What are the major things a golfer must do to be correctly poised and positioned as he hits through the ball? He will be essentially correct in the impact area if he learns to execute three major movements. 1) He must initiate the downswing by turning the hips to the left. 2) He must hit through to the finish of his swing in one cohesive movement, hitting with his hips, shoulders, arms and hands, in that order. 3) He must start to supinate his left wrist just before impact. This is, essentially, all he need concentrate on. The average golfer's problem is not so much a lack of ability as it is a lack of knowing what he should do. The left is a power hand too." Ben Hogan
Download : "To curve a ball sharply to the right to circumvent a tree or other obstacle, aim to left and swing the club in a course across the line of play swinging club down outside line of play cutting across to inside line of play. At impact club face must be at "offset" facing somewhat to the right by having club handle somewhat ahead of the club head."

Holding the left heel up blocks the left side and makes the right hand work. Here the little wizard is trying it out."
