The golf slice is amongst the most prevalent struggles that golfers will run into on the course. It can often be tough to identify what on earth is causing your golf slice since there are several different places an individual could be off. This can lead to frustration and has brought a large number of people to simply give up on the game. If you need to discover how to correct a golf slice, then the instruction in the following paragraphs can take you through several remedies that you may find particularly helpful.

Migrating the golf ball even a few inches forward or backward in your stance can impact consistency considerably. The golf ball should line up a couple inches inside of your left heel (for righties) when you’re at address. An outside to inside swing path, which usually is a common cause of the golf slice, is often promoted by a setup where the golf ball is too far forward in the stance. Conversely, a ball too much back in your stance will make it hard to close the face of the club on time which can often cause a push slice. Establishing a consistent position will let you develop a repeatable golf swing and fix golf slice problems.

Ensure your hands are not held too far to the left on the golf club. The clubface might be square to the ball at first, but unfortunately this grip will cause the club to rotate during your swing. If you grip your golf club you’ll see that “V’s” are shaped in the middle of your forefingers and your thumbs. These “V’s” often point toward the leading shoulder at address for people that have difficulties with slicing the ball. However, when you are using a proper golf grip they will point toward your right shoulder.

A great number of people unknowingly make a mistake as soon as they begin their swing. They will rotate the club clockwise with their hands upon takeaway. This will cause the clubface to be open upon impact, even though it may feel right. The clubface should “open” during your backswing, except this should actually be due to the rotation of your torso and your shoulders. It should not be result from turning your hands.

This issue is reasonably simple to deal with; simply grip your golf club making effort to not turn or rotate your hands. Here is a good way to see if you are doing this correctly: The wrist of your glove hand should be completely flat at the top of your backswing.

If you squeeze the club too hard it’s likely you will slice the golf ball. You need to use a golf grip where your arms and hands are soft and relaxed when you’re having problems with a slice. If 10 is the greatest amount of pressure you can apply to the golf club, at approximately 3 you can begin to hook the golf ball. Notice I said hook and not slice. See if you’re able to get the golf ball to hook in place of slicing by playing around with this. Then simply manipulate your grip strength until your drives start going straight.

Correcting a slice often is a tricky and frustrating challenge. However, it’s possible to prevent slicing in the future by using the advice in this article, analyzing exactly where issues lie and making plans to remedy these problems.

Reducing handicap is nearly always the aim of folks who are interested in golf. The golf slice is one area that frequently causes complications for such individuals. It’s a regular problem and there are a variety of things that can be the cause of it. The advice shared in this article can help you correct your slice and start elevating your scores right away.

Your consistency may be influenced dramatically by merely locating the golf ball back or forward in a player’s stance by just a couple of inches. Ideally you should line-up with the golf ball so the golf ball is about two inches to the inside of your left heel (for right handers). An outside to inside swing path, which usually is a culprit of the golf slice, is often encouraged by a stance where the golf ball is too far forward. Opposite of that scenario, a stance where the golf ball is too far back makes it tough to close the clubface on time which may result in a push slice. A repeatable swing that is precise and slice free can be achieved by establishing a consistent position in your stance.

Your hands should not be turned too far to the left on the golf club. The face of the club may be square to the golf ball at the outset, but this grip causes the club to rotate during your swing. Notice the “V’s” which are made between your thumbs and your index fingers. For the usual slicer these will point toward the leading shoulder at address. However, the “V’s” will point toward the right shoulder when implementing proper grip.

A great number of golfers unknowingly make a mistake as soon as they begin their swing. They will rotate the club clockwise with their hands upon takeaway. This causes the clubface to open on impact, even though it may feel right. The clubface should “open” during your backswing, however this should actually be as a result of rotation of your shoulders and your torso. Your hands shouldn’t be what causes it.

The correction for this is to simply grip your club making zero effort to twist your hands. Here is a simple way to see if you’re doing this right: At the top of your backswing the wrist on your glove hand must be perfectly flat.

Many players think that when they slice the ball, it can be merely adjusted by moving left for righties and to the right for left handers. They are wrong on this idea. You are not miss-hitting the golf ball due to where you’re standing; you are miss-hitting as a consequence of the place on the face of the club you are coming into contact with the ball and what direction the golf club is moving in.

You are going to slice the golf ball even worse if you shift your stance off target to compensate for your golf slice. As opposed to facing off target, make time to work on your swing and be sure you’re striking the golf ball squarely while being lined up with the target. This will correct golf slice issues that come from overcompensation.

Don’t let slicing negatively affect your scores and take away from your game. Utilize recommendations such as the ones above to correct your slicing problems and improve your all around game. You will be able to create a straight shot which reaches your planned target every time if you take time to ensure that your form is implemented the right way.

Have you ever wondered why sometimes the more you don’t want something to happen the more likely it is that it does happen? That’s kind of a strange co-incidence don’t you think? Let’s examine what happens when you try to not do something…

Try as hard as you can right now to NOT think about a giraffe.

What are you thinking about? Aha – a giraffe! Now ask yourself did you see the word “giraffe” or did you see it’s rather long neck?

So what does this tell us about how our minds work? Firstly, in order to comprehend what it is we are trying not to think about we have to focus on what that thing is. Secondly, we tend to picture it rather than think about the letters of the word; an image of it comes into your minds eye. And this makes sense if you think about how you learnt as a child; You’d have a picture book with the words next to the picture, and that’s how you’d learn that that particular word represented that particular picture. The picture has more impact – the picture comes first.

What we can learn from this is that where there is a conflict between your will power and your imagination, your imagination wins.

If you haven’t quite appreciated as yet the extreme power of your imagination, think of the times that you have stood on the tee thinking “don’t go in the bunker” and hey, presto – amazingly that’s exactly where the ball ended up. Your mind is EXQUISITELY TALENTED. Unless you are a pretty low handicap player, for most of us to aim the ball into a bunker that’s 180 yards away and 2 yards in width, we would probably have to have a few attempts before succeeding; and yet, just by THINKING “don’t go in there”, it does. Wow! Isn’t that amazing?

Once again, what can we learn from this? As you think “Don’t” your mind has to comprehend “don’t what?” and will PICTURE whatever the object it. And a “picture is worth a thousand words” to quote a well-known, and insightful, phrase. What we golfers need to do is simply to use this knowledge to our advantage. We can choose to PICTURE exactly where we want the ball to go. Just picture the exact line that you want the ball to travel along, picture the trajectory, picture the ball landing and rolling and coming to a stop. Your mind understands and responds to pictures automatically, instinctively and EASILY.

Sometime soon, why not get out to the chipping area with a friend? Take it in turns to ask your friend where they are going to land the ball, and put a tee there to mark the precise spot. Then ask them how high the ball will travel; hold your arm out to indicate the exact height. This is a quick way of assisting someone to visualise their shot. Then move away and allow them to execute the shot they have pictured. It’s amazing how your visualisation skills will improve as you do this, and in this way you are clearly telling the golf ball what to do – you are chipping with clear intent. The result, quite logically, is that the ball is far more likely to go where you want it to.

Once you have done this, you can go home, put your feet up, get nice and cosy and simply picture the process all over again. You can have a lovely relax on the sofa, simply visualising all those fantastic chips, over and over and over again, thereby strengthening those neural pathways in your brain, creating an expectation that those great chips will come off as you want them to.

You can also use this type of visualisation to become more creative in your short game, visualising different shots, both high and low. Remember, everything in life starts with a thought, including every shot you make in golf. You have to think about it, plan it, visualise it and then it has the best chance of doing what you what it to do. If you don’t tell the golf ball clearly where you want it to go, it will go wherever it pleases…and probably won’t please you!

Here’s a challenge for habitual slicers, which covers, as you probably know, 70% of the golfing population. Be honest now and really think about what thoughts run through your mind when you’re standing on the tee and there’s trees all the way down the right of the fairway. Are you thinking “OK, theres a great spot in the middle of the fairway and I’m going to aim at that particular point”; or do you think “Oh **** trees on the right, I’d better aim further left”? And as you aim further left, do you pick an exact target to aim at, or do you simply think “further left”? And as you aim “further left” do you find that you come across the ball more and slice the ball even further to the right?! Because if you did that your golf ball probably did exactly what you told it to do…Even as you were thinking “further left” were you not PICTURING those damn trees down the right?!

So, the challenge to slicers is to go out there and decide on your exact target and picture the ball’s flight path and trajectory as it flies to that target and then just hit the ball. And if you really want to go for it, set the ball out to the RIGHT and draw it in to the centre, firstly in your imagination, and then notice how your mind really does tell the ball where to go. Your mind is far more important than your technique…try it and see for yourself. (If you think about it, what I’m saying is also very logical – if by intentionally setting it out left, you unintentionally hit a slice, then is it possible that by intentionally setting it out right, you might unintentionally hit a draw?)

And when you are bot on the golf course, you can be visualising your routine and your shots. Whatever you time you vividly image a shot your brain will record it as it it really happened, and so you can strengthen your mind easily in this way. What can be more simple than this type of practice? Practice, of the right things, really does make perfect. The beauty of visualisation practice is that EVERY shot is perfect and so your brain is recording these perfect shots all of the time whilst you visualise. If you were partaking of actual practice, some shots would be great whilst others might not be so accurate – and your brain is recording every shot. This explains why numerous studies have shown that visualisation practice is MORE effective than actual practice.

So if you want to get a HEAD start to your golfing season, get visualising. You don’t have to spend hours at it. Research has shown that just spending 1-3 minutes visualising at a time is optimal for this type of effective practice. To put it in perspective, that’s less time than smokers spend on smoking a cigarette! You could be visualising whilst smoking or even while brushing your teeth.

If you want to get a head start to your golfing season all you have to do is to choose to spend a few of your spare minutes picturing great shots. And if you really want to excel you could go to sleep listening to a golf hypnosis download to embed such visualisations deep into your subconscious mind; Again, what could be easier? You just get into bed, put your golf hypnosis download on and fall asleep. Easy Peasie!

If you suffer from the most dreaded shot in golf, the slice, then fear not. A slice is when the ball bends in the air from left to right for a right handed golfer. If you are constantly slicing the ball do you know that you are giving away distance on your shots, as well as playing from some strange places around the course. If you could find a golf slice cure, you could be hitting your approach shots with one or two clubs less. The slice is a destructive shot that each player has to endure at some point.

When you play a shot that results in a slice, this often leads to worse scores and annoyance in most golfers as the club is pushed back into the bag in frustration. Outlined in this article are five tips to help you cure your golf slice and make your weekend 4-ball much more enjoyable.

Tip 1: Check your grip

One of the most common things seen on the golf course is players holding the golf club in a very tight grip. This causes tension in the arms and shoulders and will be an erratic movements which often leads to the club face being delivered to the ball to an open position. You must strike the ball with the club face square as this will dramatically affect the ball’s direction in the air.

You can fix your slice and hit arrow straight shots with this quick tip. Turn your hands around the grip slightly in a clockwise direction to square the clubface at impact. For a right-handed player, you should see 2-3 knuckles of thes left hand when in position at address. A  ‘V’  should be formed by thumb and forefinger directed to the right shoulder, if you’re right-handed.

Tip 2: Alignment

Your feet, knees, hips and shoulders should all be aligned parallel to the target. Before you swing the club do make sure that you have to set up square and parallel to the ball oto target line. The position can feel uncomfortable for a short period of time until you get used to it, especially if you’ve played for some time using the wrong method. A session on the practice ground will feel make the position feel more natural quickly.

Tip 3: Setup

A solid foundation to base your swing on is crucial to achieve maximum performance and accuracy. The stance width may vary with the club you use, with an iron, feet should be shoulder width apart. A little wider for the woods and narrower with the short irons. Your setup will now allow you to swing the club and uncoil your body on the downswing and release the full power, while maintaining full control and balance of your swing.

Tip 4: Your Swing

Swinging the club on the wrong swing path affects up to 90% of golfers. The correct approach of the club to the ball is from the inside of the ball to target line. A swing plane that attacks from the inside will result in the ball being struck in a more solid fashion. One of the biggest causes of a slice is swinging the club from outside the target line to inside. If the clubface is square to the target line this results in a ball that starts left and curves to the right. If the clubface is square to the swing path then this will result in a pull shot that goes left and stays left.

Tip 5: A Golf Swing Drill

This is one of my favorite drills to carry out on the range to check my swing path is approaching the ball from the inside. Stand an empty range basket about half a clubs length behind the ball. Take your swing, your club should miss the basket on the backswing and downswing. Put a tee in the ground about 2 inches infront of the ball and the same distance inside the target line. You should miss the tee on your follow through if you are on the correct swing path. Your swing is coming from outside the line to inside if you are striking the basket or tee. If you strike the tee in the ground you are swinging the golf club across the line.

At some point during their golfing career almost every player has looked for a golf slice cure. Slicing the golf ball is most common amongst those just taking up the game and is often the reason that many players have a high handicap. Slicing the golf ball is the number one most destructive shot in golf, you are now armed with the knowledge to go and fix your golf slice once and for all. See your shots soar arrow straight down the fairway and onto the green.

The golf slice is just about the most annoying issues to deal with for some golfers, but should the causes of why the golf ball slices are clearly understood, the solution is not so difficult.  But before we provide the actions to cure that slice, take several deep breaths and SLOW DOWN your swing.  Almost everything will fall into place if you think three-quarter speed.

The most crucial key that we will contend with to take care of the golf slice is correct swing path.  As your golf swing is circular, that is, the club head begins behind our head, swings about the body and ends up behind our head, it may look like it is physically impossible to not spin the ball.  But at the point of contact don’t think circular.  Allow me to explain.

While looking down on the ball, consider the ball moving in flight.  For the right handed golfer, if the ball is rotating in a clockwise way the ball will slice, or move in the direction toward which the ball is revolving.  Obviously, for the left handed golfer the opposite holds.  The goal to correct the golf slice would be to eliminate this spin.

How can we accomplish this?  If, by looking down on the golf ball, we were to imagine it as being a clock with twelve o’clock being the direction we’d like the ball to go, if we were to produce first contact on the golf ball at seven o’clock striking through the ball to the one o’clock position, we’d impart little spin on the ball,  thus giving the ball a straight flight, or perhaps a slight counter clockwise, or hook spin.

Now undoubtedly this wouldn’t be challenging if not for the fact that we are swinging, to some degree, around the body in to some extent a circular motion.  So just before impact and just after, we should think about the club having a nearly inside out route.  This isn’t as difficult as it seems.  To correct the golf slice, practice undertaking a couple of elements to accomplish this:

1.Close the foot placement somewhat.  In other words, make sure the front foot is a bit closer to the golf ball in comparison to back foot.

2.Position the ball further back in your stance.  Some of us have the tendency to move the ball forward, often even past our front foot, making it extremely difficult to reach that “one o’clock” place on the golf ball. Consistently sticking with those two swing keys will work wonders for the fix the golf slice.  Of course some practice to fine-tune those techniques for your swing will be necessary.

Do you have troubles with your golf swing and are frustrated with trying to fix a slice? Well, in this article I’m going to present you with 5 slice tips that will get you to prevent slicing so the next time you get on the course you can start hitting longer, straighter more accurate shots as well as in return improve your overall scores!

Tip No 1 – Check For Proper Grip

Before you can make the correct golf swing you initially, have to have the proper grip on the club. There are three main grips a golfer can use. The baseball grip, interlocking grip and the overlapping grip. If you are having trouble with the ability to stop slicing a golf ball try one of these different grips.

The baseball grip is for a player that is trying to get through the golf ball at impact much quicker. In the case of the slice lots of the times the primary issue is because the player is not getting through the ball properly at impact. So if you’ve never used the baseball grip give it a try. Simply grip the golf club like you’d a baseball bat with the knuckles on the left and right hand lined up in a straight line. This could be the simple fix your trying to find to fix a slice!

Tip No 2 – Check Your Set Up Position

The second thing you have to focus on when attempting to fix a slice is to look at your set up position. Whenever you set up to your golf ball make sure that you are lined up to your target. Just how do you do this? Easy take the club and simply hold it across your shoulders with the butt of the club facing your target. If the butt of your club is facing to far to your left you may make a tiny adjustment with your stance and be able to get aligned just right. One of your main reasons a golfer can’t stop slicing the golf ball is because they’re to open at their initial set up.

Tip No 3 – Make Sure You Get A Good Hip Turn

Tip number 3 to help you fix a slice would be to make sure you are getting a good hip turn through out the golf swing. When you take the golf club back focus on making a complete turn with the hips. When you start the downswing try and rotate your hips through the golf ball. If you can get a good hip turn through out the swing it will allow you to get through the ball at impact keeping the club face from being open.

A great way to accomplish this really is to think about finishing high with the golf club after making impact with the golf ball. By training the body to finish high, which causes the hips to turn completely will help alleviate the rights on your shots getting you closer to prevent slicing the golf ball.

Tip No 4 – Keep Your Swing Smooth

The fourth key to fix a slice with your golf swing is to try not to get to quick through out the swing. What does this mean? Well probably the largest reasons a golfer can’t correct a slice is because everything they do is way to quick. From the very first move on the back swing to over swinging on the down swing. To be able to have a good swing you will need to be smooth and relaxed through out.

A good way to work on this is at the driving range before you start a round. Try and allow yourself sometime before you play and hit about 20 golf balls with just your wedge and work on taking the club back slow and swing through the golf ball smoothly. Picture in your head one of your favorite golfers. When I do that drill I try and think of guys like Fred Couples or Ernie Els. If you have ever watched their swings they look like they hardly even make an effort to hit the golf ball. That is because they are in good rhythm and have absolutely great timing when the club hits the ball.

Therefore the moral is work on being smooth and your timing will follow!

Tip No 5 – Keep Your Head Still

Last but not least one of your main reason you could be having trouble learning how to fix a slice is because your head is moving everywhere during your swing. I know you’ve probably heard this a thousand times but it’s true. If you can’t see the club hit the ball you’ll always struggle with hitting it. If your head is moving during the swing there’s a good chance your head could possibly be flying out to quickly causing the body and shoulders to be opening up to quickly. If this is the case the club face at impact will be open and you can’t do anything but hit a golfing slice.

So bottom line is make sure that when you start your swing you concentrate on the back of the ball and after the swing keep your head still and try and watch the club face make impact with that spot on the ball you are focusing on. You’ll be amazed at how this can improve your swing and allow you to stop slicing a golf ball.

In closing:

To be able to stop slicing a golf ball and fix a slice to your swing focus on the 5 slice tips above:

1) Proper Grip
2) Proper Setup
3) Good Hip Turn
4) Smooth & Relaxed Swing
5) Keep Your Head Still Through Out The Swing

If you’ll be able to stay focused on these 5 easy to follow slice tips you can fix a slice and finally stop slicing a golf ball!

by clevercupcakes

nearly all advice given to fix your golf slice is incorrect. By that, I’m also referencing numerous professionals who have probably cured their personal golf slice.

Personally, I’m not a pro – I’m actually not even really good. Nevertheless, I’m going to teach you a technique that, should you keep in mind and implement, will fix your golf slice every time.

Definition of a Golf Slice

This is almost a absurd question, since I doubt many of you are reading this without having experienced a slice. Nonetheless, bear with me.

You have hit a slice when the golf ball starts travelling a single path and then curves towards right (for any right-handed golfer) while in the air. Put simply, the golf ball may well begin by flying still left of, straight at, or right of your intended target. Nonetheless, during flight, the ball will veer to the right (again, for any right-handed golfer).

It isn’t a slice when the ball simply flies directly to the right!

Golf Slice Cause

A golfswing is quite complex and, consequently, frustrating. Nevertheless, the cause of the golf slice is comparatively easy, as there’s only 1 cause.

In case you routinely hit a golf slice, it is invariably because your swing is “outside-in”.

Picture a top or a ball spinning on the floor. In case you wanted to keep it spinning, you may possibly use your hand and ‘swipe’ the top or ball in the direction that it is currently spinning. You would NOT use your hand to hit the top or ball this kind of that the impact was straight At the top or ball. A slice is caused by the exact same general ‘swiping’ motion. The golf club head has ‘swiped’ the golf ball rather than hitting immediately at and through the golf ball, thereby causing the golf ball to spin.

Don’t get me wrong: I’m not pretending that it’s not a problem if your golf ball starts out way too far right. However, that alone isn’t a slice. Getting a golf ball begin out too far right is induced through the clubface getting way too open upon impact with the golf ball.

A single quick trick to Fix your Golf Slice

Focus on your follow-through! Invariably, if you are hitting a slice, the simplest method to fix it really is to make sure that you simply end your swing with your shoulders square to your hips and together with your hands (and the golf club) either directly in front of you or else to your right a little. I think that the least complicated method to recognize this is purely to take a bit of time next time you might be at the driving range and attempt to conclude with your hands further and further to your right. Rather than thinking about finishing with the golf club pointed back above your left shoulder (which is how numerous men and women picture the conclusion of their swing), picture finishing with the club pointed back over your right shoulder.

Now let me throw out this caveat: focusing on your follow-through is somewhat of a “trick”. By that I mean that it will not necessarily give you the perfect swing plane, nor will it fix several other problems in your golf swing. However, focusing on your own follow-through will teach you tips on how to feel whether you’re hitting “outside-in” or “inside-out” and will offer you an quick method to fix your golf slice.

If you want a truly impeccable swing, then you need to concentrate on a single basic (grip, positioning, and so forth.) at a time and produce a basic, repeatable swing. Personally, I’ve discovered that one particular specific ebook, The Simple Golf Swing distills a whole lot of info into a very easy and easy-to-follow set of instructions. This book has helped me dramatically in my capability to simplify and improve my golf swing. Click here to go through a review of The Simple Golf Swing.

The one shot in golf that causes more frustration than any other is the slice, so these golf swing tips are aimed at providing a resolution to the golf slice. A slice can be uncontrollable and leave you playing shots from parts of the course that you never knew existed, or worse still a lost ball which apart from adding unwanted shots to your score can leave you frustrated and out of pocket.

If you are suffering from the dreaded golf slice, the problem can be caused through poor setup, but is more likely caused by a fault in your golf swing technique.

The majority of amateur golfers play with slice, a slight slice, more commonly refered to as a fade is playable but a slice can be very destructive on your scorecard. The golf slice affects 80% of leisure golfers.

Common faults include a combination of one or more of the following swing errors:

Your set-up position
Poor grip
Stangling the club
Attempting to hit the ball too hard
Approaching the ball on too steep an angle
Flying right elbow

A slice is the result of striking the golf ball with the clubface open, this can be caused by a fault within your setup.

To cure a slice, follow these golf swing tips. Incorporate one change at a time and test it on the range first before taking it to the golf course.

Setup – start off by making sure you have all the basics of the setup right, feet, hips and shoulders all aligned to the target line. Have the knees slightly flexed and arms hanging down relaxed from the shoulders. Check the ball position is not too far forward in your stance.

Strengthen your grip – sometimes the club is not returned back to the ball in the same position that it was at address try strengthening your grip by rotating your grip clockwise around the grip. Rotate the grip until the ‘V’ between thumb and forefinger should point towards the right shoulder with 2 to 3 knuckles of the left hand showing.

Relax your grip – if you are gripping the club tightly it can restrict the action of the wrists, arms and shoulders in the hitting area. Keep your grip light and relaxed, just enough to prevent the club flying out of your hands when making the golf swing. This allows the club to rotate back to the square position during the downswing.

If the ball starts off left of target before curving to the right (for righthanders) then you certainly have a swing fault. This happens when you are hitting from outside the line (from ball to target) to inside the line. The correct line is from inside and back to inside following striking the ball.

Swing easily – far too many weekend golfers swing the golf club too hard in an attempt to gain extra yardage, this is often allied to the above fault of gripping the club too tightly. Swinging the golf club hard leads to poor timing and a swing that is often too long, going beyond parallel at the top and crossing the line. The result is the golf club points to the right of target at the top of the backswing. Try reducing the length of your backswing to get more control and keep your swing online, make a swing that feels more like a 3/4 swing.

Flatten your swing – a steep approach of the golf club to the ball is also a real problem for those who suffer from a golf slice. At the top of the swing the club should be above the right shoulder pointing towards the target, this can be caused by a failure to turn the upper body during the backswing. Aim to turn the shoulders through 90 degrees on the backswing.

A flatter or more rounded swing will allow the toe of the club to rotate and catch up with the heel of the clubface to return to the ball square. Swinging the club with the arms only can also be major fault.

Stop flailing that elbow – do you suffer from a flailing right elbow? A good training drill is to place the cover of tour driver under the right armpit and concentrate on keeping it there throughout the swing until you are into the follow through.

I wish you every success with these golf swing tips that will help you cure your golf slice, get on the range and check out the results.

That little white ball sure can cause a lot of frustration if we let it. One avenue in which this can occur is when we choose to drive the ball. Instead of heading straight for where we aimed, it takes on the characteristics of a Frisbee and slices off to the right into some form of roughage. Fortunately, we may be able to fix this with a minimum of fuss.

Let’s start with the basics. What is a slice. It is perhaps the most common of golf problems. It occurs when one tries to drive the ball. The ball will usually take off to the side your body is on when striking the ball and then start bending off to the opposite side. Slices are actually a tactical shot for the professionals on certain holes, but most of us are just making a mistake when hitting them.

The first step to fixing the slice is to think about baseball. If you watch baseball, you’ll see someone strike out. The announcer will state that this occurred because the batter did not keep their shoulder in. As a result, they rotated their body too quickly and had a pull stroke. This is also the most common reason for slicing the golf ball. You are either lining up facing to far to the left or are swinging too hard and pulling away from the ball just before striking it. To fix this, try practicing your swing slowly. Turn into the ball and practice just bringing the club down and driving directly through the ball.

There may, however, be a second problem. To drive the ball hard and straight, many people logically assume they need to come up behind the ball.
