You Were Told Not to Slide in Your Golf Swing... That Advice Is Costing You! Don't slide is one of the most repeated pieces of golf advice out there... and GEARS 3D says it's wrong. Every good player ever measured has some forward motion of the lower body. The question isn't whether to slide... it's how much. Here's a simple drill: put a club against your lead ankle at setup, leave about a fist of space, and practice getting your lead leg into that shaft by impact. Let the trail leg come around to open the pelvis with some rotation. A few reps of that and you'll have the right amount of slide dialed in... and start hitting better shots.
