If you struggle with slices and pulls, this Nathalie Sheehan drill is for you. Change how you start the downswing to find the slot and hit straighter shots.

This lesson coupled with Coach Pinegar's "Don't Flip Your Wrist" drill and Martin Hall's "Swimming Pool" drill really put the whole swing into perspective for me. Really improved my ball striking. Thank you coaches!
Nathalie, once agin a simple explanation and demonstration that I can incorporate into my range practice immediately, thank you!!
nice practical tip,Nathalie keep things simple and practical appreciate it as always
Nathalie, every time I try to swing harder, I usually am coming over the top and have some kind of slice. If I slow it down, it not so bad. How do I beat this?
Nathalie: I haven't hit a draw with my irons, ever; I know that I have to be coming over the top because my ball flight swings left to right; I'm 76 years young and don't have the flexibility I once had; for someone my age, do you have a drill that encompasses not being able to rotate my shoulders, like you do and still allows me to NOT come over the top?
I'm hitting irons and wedges pretty well, and I can scramble like crazy, seeing that I'm 66 and shoot in the high 70's, low 80's with only a 35% FIR and 23% GIR average with an average of 29 putts a round, with 65% of my pars as 1-putts. If I could get the driver out of my head then I think I can go much lower. In this particular example, I think I'm doing this right but the ball starts just slightly right then slices right. If I stay over it my miss is left hooking left (basically a pull with a snap hook). I'll blast maybe 3 drives in a round right down the middle but all three results feel the same to me, so I don't know how to fix it like I can fix my irons.
I appreciate the tip. However, I find often the club face is often slightly turned on impact. Any suggestions on how to avoid this?
This is my problem exactly. It's winter here in Chicago, but I'll give it a try next chance I get.
Great tip
