Why the Ball Goes to the Right: Tips from Cameron McCormick

Cameron McCormick, one of the leading instructors in the world of golf, shared insights into why the ball might veer to the 'right field'. The primary cause of this phenomenon lies in the hips rotating too quickly, causing the hands and the club to lag behind. To address this issue, McCormick recommends the following technique: stand in your regular stance, lift the toes of your back foot off the ground, and turn it 45 degrees to the right (for right-handers). Then, as you make your swing, return the toes to the ground. This exercise will help synchronize the movement of your hands and club with your body, helping to eliminate the slice. Although it may feel unusual at first, over time the movements will become smoother.
