To hit straighter drives, golfers must focus on properly rotating their forearms through the ball at impact. Players who leave shots to the right do not rotate the club closed, leaving the clubface open at impact and creating sidespin. Practicing swings with one hand allows players to focus on rotating the forearm, which squares the clubface and produces straighter shots off the tee.

- 3. Hitting accurate drives on the golf course can be a challenge. The habit of leaving tee shots out to the right can often be attributed to poor release. The release of the golf club is the coordination of two details: the unhinging of the hands and the rotation of the forearms. Players who are leaving the ball to the right are not rotating the club closed, which means the clubface is open at impact. This creates sidespin that makes the ball curve to the right. To practice a proper release, players should take practice swings with one hand and focus on rotating the forearm through the ball. Properly rotating the forearm through the ball will result in a square clubface at impact and straighter shots off the tee.
