Scottie Scheffler’s coach swears by this simple anti-slice drill

Scheffler’s Anti-Slice Drill Unveiled by Coach

Amidst Scottie Scheffler’s historic run, his coach Troy Merritt revealed a simple drill that aids in overcoming the dreaded slice. Merritt insists that the drill is the reason behind Scheffler’s newfound accuracy and distance.

The drill involves placing two alignment sticks parallel to each other, forming a narrow channel. Scheffler practices hitting balls through the channel, forcing him to focus on the ball’s path and ensuring a straight shot.

Merritt claims that this repetitive drill has significantly improved Scheffler’s swing, as it teaches him to keep the clubface square at impact and promotes a path that favors a straight trajectory. This drill is recommended not just for Scheffler, but for all golfers battling a slice.
