Golf Tip: How a Water Skier Can Fix Your Slice

Struggling with that classic over-the-top move that sends your drives slicing right? Darren deMaille from QuickFixGolf.com is here with a simple concept that might just stick with you forever: think like a water skier.

Why Water Skiing?

Imagine the boat turning and pulling the skier outward. That’s centrifugal force at play — and the same principle can help your swing. When you rotate your upper body correctly, that same force naturally throws the club into the right position.

Even Justin Rose uses this analogy, explaining how keeping the club in front of you and then rotating lets the club “get a free ride into impact.”

Drill to Try: Back to the Target

Grab your driver and a 7-iron.

Hold the driver with your lead hand out in front.
Swing the 7-iron with your trail hand, keeping your back to the target.
Focus on quiet body movement and letting the arms and club lead the way.

This simple motion gets your sequencing right — and gives you a powerful feel for delivering the club without pulling it over the top.
