One of the most common mistakes with beginner golfers is the dreaded “over the top golf swing”. This is a premature move of the upper body when starting the downswing. This is a “hit” mentality, that can cause sequence and timing issues in your golf swing.

Look at Figure 1 below which is the common over the top move in the golf swing. Now take a look at Figure 2 which is the proper downswing sequence, that will promote an inside attack on the golf ball, and fix a golf slice immediately.

Golf Tips To Cure Your Over The Top Golf Swing

Golf Tip 1: Bump Your Left Hip To Start Downswing

Golf Tip 2: Pause At Top Of Backswing To Give Lower Body A Chance To Start First.

Golf Tip 3: Let Your Arms Drop With No Move Towards Target.

Golf Tip 4: Right Elbow To Hip In Golf Swing As Soon As You Can Ala Ben Hogan.

Golf Tip 5: Rotate Hips BEFORE you drop your arms. This will creat separation between upper and lower body.

Golf Tip 6: Keep Your Left Arm Close To Your Chest Throughout Entire Golf Swing For A Connected Golf Swing.

Important: Improving in golf by stretching will also allow you a full backswing, making it much easier to come down from the inside.

The Best Cure For A Golf Slice

Golfers who slice the golf ball are to the point of humiliation. Have you been there…because I know I have. I use to hate stepping up on the tee in front of friends, and worse strangers, and hit the big ‘ol banana ball. What an ugly golf shot! It goes 40 yards shorter than all the other drives, and usually ends up out of bounds costing you 2 strokes off EVERY TEE!

Having been a frustrated slicer of the golf ball for years, I took lessons, bought training aids, and pounded thousands of golf balls at the range (most of them sliced). I could only dream of someone giving me the best, most effective cure for my slice.

I know when someone states it’s the best, it’s subjective and individual opinion, but that is what this golf blog is all about. My trials and tribulations on playing single digit golf, of which I do now, but have a long way to go nonetheless.

If you’ve been waiting to hear my best golf slice cure, you won’t have to wait no more!

The golf grip is your ONLY connection to the golf club. Get that wrong and you will NEVER be able to consistently square your clubface. And a square clubface is critical to fixing a golf slice.

Most slicers have a weak golf grip. One that is turned too far to the left on the clubshaft if you’re a right-handed golfer. This left hand position on the shaft makes it very difficult, nearly impossible to bring the clubface back to square at impact.

The proper golf grip should show atleast 3 knuckles of your left hand when you look down at it, when you’re in your golf address position.

I have taken a picture of a stronger golf grip to show you what it should look like. See below.

Try this golf grip to cure a golf slice and I think you’ll be on your way to a slice-free golf swing.
