Golf Tips To Cure The Slice
October 12, 2009 by · Leave a Comment
The dreaded golf slice is one of the ugliest, most humiliating shots in all of golf. Golfers, especially beginner golfers, are desperate for golf tips to cure the slice. The first place to look in fixing a golf slice is golf swing fundamentals. It’s usually in the basics of the swing where you can find a cause, and it’s one of the quickest and easiest to cure.
Golf Grip
Most slicers of the golf ball have a weak golf grip, where the left hand is only showing one knuckle, and is rotated too far to the left. A quick fix for a slice is to rotate the left hand to the right until at least 3 knuckles show. When you do this, it is so much easier to have the clubface square and rotating through impact encouraging a nice draw instead of a slice.
Alignment
This is another golf swing fundamental that most golfers get wrong. If you’re a right-handed golfer, and you slice the golf ball, you most likely aim way to far to the left with your feet line, which creates an automatic “over the top” golf swing. Always try to go parallel to your target with your feet, knees, hips and shoulders. When you do this, you will give yourself the best chance at hitting a straight shot.
Golf Swing Takeaway
Another “death move” in the golf swing for a slicer is the takeaway. Nearly all beginner golfers who slice have a takeaway that goes out and away from their bodies on the way back, and automatically comes down from over the top. This over the top move is caused almost completely by this improper golf swing takeaway. For a golf slicer, the swing thought should be immediately to the inside with the hands and butt of the golf club. This will get you feeling and thinking “inside” on both the takeaway and the downswing, resulting in a beautiful draw…with NO GOLF SLICE!
