Tips On How To Fix A Golf Slice

No one likes to slice a golf ball as it results in crooked shots that do not go very far. This is a common problem with most beginner golfers and high handicappers since the swing flaws that cause it result from common beginner errors.

Let the club do the work:

One thing that can contribute to the slice is thinking that muscling the club is the answer to longer shots and this is not true. If you want to hit the ball far you need to learn how to take advantage of leverage and how to make solid contact. The reason the slice shot occurs is because your swing path is from the outside to in creating slice spin on the golf ball causing it to go left to right. To get a more inside to out swing path requires swinging more within yourself. Another key tip is to keep the right hand passive throughout the swing if you are a right handed player.

Think about pulling the club with the left hand on the downswing and be sure to keep your head down. Lifting the head too early is another key flaw that can result in the slice shot as this will promote an outside to in swing path. An open club face is another thing that can cause the slice shot. Make sure that when you address the ball your club face is square pointing towards the target and not to the right of it. Another tip to help you hit the ball straighter is to ensure that you are not gripping the club too tightly as this can cause tension in the swing which usually results in poor shots including slicing the ball. Use these tips to help you hit the ball straighter and further.
