Struggling with a slice? Try splitting your grip

Struggling with a slice? Try splitting your grip

If you’re an avid golfer who has struggled hard against slicing the ball, one of the potential adjustments you can make is to split your grip. Doing so will aid you by promoting an inside-out swing, offering increased control over the golf clubface.

To correctly execute a split grip, begin by positioning your non-dominant hand slightly lower on the grip than customary, often referred to as a “baseball grip”. This adjustment should prompt a more natural inward rotation of the clubface through impact, encouraging a straighter ball flight and minimizing the likelihood of it veering off-course.

It is worth noting that while a split grip can effectively counter a slice, it may not be a universal panacea for every golfer plagued by this slicing malady. “Golf is a game of individuality,” stresses PGA Tour Champions professional Joey Sindelar. “The most important thing to remember is that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Experiment with different grips and swing techniques to discover what works best for your unique physique and style.”

‘Hatred was disgusting:’ Greg Norman sounds off on LIV critics in new interview

In a recent interview, golf legend Greg Norman has criticized those who have condemned his involvement with the controversial LIV Golf series. Norman, the CEO of LIV Golf, has faced backlash from some within the golf community, who have accused the Saudi-backed series of “sportswashing.” Norman has defended his actions, arguing that he is simply providing opportunities for golfers to play the game at the highest level.

“Hatred was disgusting,” Norman said of the criticism he has received. “It was just unnecessary and unwarranted.”

Norman has also been critical of the PGA Tour’s decision to suspend players who have joined LIV Golf. He has accused the Tour of operating a “monopoly” and of stifling competition.

“We’re not here to destroy the PGA Tour,” Norman said. “We’re here to provide an alternative. We’re here to give players more opportunities.”

It remains to be seen how the LIV Golf series will impact the future of professional golf. However, Norman’s comments suggest that he is determined to continue to challenge the status quo.
