Here is some great golf swing advice to cure that fat shot. Imagine, if you will, you are on the fairway, the green 200 yards away, and you are contemplating which club to use. Say you opt for the 4 iron, with a big old whack, you think; I should make the green comfortably. What do you do? A big, ugly fat shot, or golf slice, where your club hits the ground far too early.
Recognise that scenario? Well, it may not be that difficult to cure, if you apply a few simple basic golf swing drills and a simple golf swing. Let us look at where the problem lies. Often, in an attempt to put brute strength behind a shot, the back shoulder can dip too far towards the ground, as we are moving the hips too much, trying to give the shot power. The hips need to stay still as possible. A dipping shoulder will disturb the overall balance of your shot.

Let us examine what is happening. If you address the ball, with your feet in the right position and start the back swing. Hold the club in that position, and move your hips in the direction of where you want the ball to go. Notice how as your hips move and your shoulder dips. This will inevitably end up in a nasty golf slice, when you swing forward with the club. The balance and set up is all wrong. You need to keep the main body straight.
So how can you solve this issue? As with many of the golf swing drills, simplicity is the key. You need to concentrate on keeping the lower half of your body still. This is the platform from which all else will pivot and swing. You need to keep that platform solid. Do not use the hips to find the power for the shot, use the strength in your arms. That is why, if you can find a good golf swing drill, that helps train the arms for the downward swing, your overall shot will greatly improve. You may have to "unlearn" some bad habits you have picked up, but that is what a good golf drill will do, it will help you re-train the body for certain movements, and make the correct posture and approach become habit. By keeping the hips still, the centre of balance will remain stable, and give you the ideal platform to hit the ball sweetly.
Now let us look at the arms. You need to find the strength in the arms, so it is important to keep the main leading arm as straight as possible, once you are at the apex of your back swing, as you commence the downward string, keep that arm as straight as possible. The drill I use is to address the ball, move into the back swing, with leading arm fully extended, and then pause. Head straight down at the ball, hips solid. Now I visualise the forward swing, with the leading arm as straight as possible, coming down, striking the ball and following through, all of the time with hips and head still.
The front shoulder needs to remain still, imagine a line down through your front shoulder to the ball, and try not to let that shoulder come up from the ball until you have hit it. Again, move this shoulder too early and you will disturb the balance and end up with a fat shot or ugly golf slice.
Remember, with all golf swing drills, it helps to break down the shot into its component parts, and think through the motions for each element, and find the correct drill for that.
