If you’re struggling with slicing the golf ball, you might want to check out the reverse loop trick popularized by Hank Haney. This method focuses on improving your swing mechanics to help you gain better control and direction in your shots. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you need to know:

Understanding the Reverse Loop

The reverse loop technique involves:

  • Creating a proper backswing: Make sure your club is moving straight back, allowing for a smoother transition.
  • Focusing on the downswing: Instead of just swinging down, visualize your club path as looping back around, creating an optimal angle through impact.

Drills to Practice

You can incorporate a few drills into your practice routine, such as:

  • Impact Bag Drill: This helps you feel the proper angle at impact.
  • Slow Motion Swings: Focus on the reverse loop motion without the speed to gain muscle memory.
