Tip of the Day

The Gary Player Step-Over

Have you ever watched Gary Player hit a tee shot and immediately take a step toward the target with his right foot? He didn't lose his balance-this move is intentional and a great one for you to try to help straighten out your slice and add distance to your drives.

If you frequently fall victim to a weak fade or slice, you're probably not firing your right side through the ball at impact. The Gary Player Step-Over is just the thing to activate your right knee and hip through impact, which will help you square the clubface and generate power.

The next time you're working with your driver on the practice tee step through with your right foot (for right-handed golfers) immediately after impact. Step along the path your club is traveling on-just let your right foot follow the clubhead through impact and finish with your shoulders, chest, hips and both feet facing the target. Soon, you'll be releasing the clubhead more aggressively through the ball and watching that weak fade turn into a powerful draw.

To help fire your right side for longer, more powerful tee shots, step through with your right foot-immediately after impact-along the same path that your clubhead traveled on. This will activate your right hip and knee and help you square the clubface and generate power.
