Turn Weak Slices into Draws with Eric Cogorno’s Simple Drill

Use this simple drill to transform weak slices into well-compressed draws and improve your golf game quickly!

One of the most common challenges golfers face is dealing with weak slices that send the ball drifting to the right. Eric Cogorno, a respected golf coach, shares a straightforward drill called “Turn it, Tilt it, Tilt it” that can help you fix this issue by focusing on the club face and path relationship.

Understanding the Key to Eliminating Weak Slices

The main cause of weak right shots is an open club face relative to the club path at impact. Closing the club face properly is essential to turning those slices into powerful draws. Eric emphasizes that the club face must be closed relative to the swing path to compress the ball correctly and generate the desired shot shape.

How the “Turn it, Tilt it, Tilt it” Drill Works

This drill is designed to train your muscle memory and improve your feel for the correct club face position. By practicing the sequence of turning and tilting the club, you develop better control over the club face angle through impact. This leads to more consistent ball striking and the ability to shape shots intentionally.

Eric’s method is simple but effective, making it suitable for golfers at various skill levels who want to quickly improve their ball flight without overcomplicating their swing mechanics.

Why Closing the Club Face Matters

When the club face is closed relative to the path, the ball compresses properly, producing a draw instead of a slice. This not only improves accuracy but also adds distance and control. Golfers struggling with slices often try to swing harder or change their grip, but focusing on the club face angle provides a more reliable solution.

Practicing this drill regularly can help you develop the feel needed to close the face naturally during your swing, leading to better results on the course.
