Never Miss a Slice Drop Again!

Tanner’s fix for missed slice/third-shot drops: amateurs chop from an open stance that’s hard to control.
Line the feet to the target so you push with the body, start with the paddle down, and catch with the shoulder — not high-to-low under the ball.

Action items:

  • Align feet toward the drop target before the swing
  • Paddle down early; catch with shoulder
  • Stop the high-to-low chop on thirds
