How to cure a golf slice

In this article you will find useful tips that can help you turn from a slicer to a top player.

Playing golf with a slice is like driving a Ferrari in a traffic jam. It takes away the joy from the game and can just leave you wondering why you are spending so much money for nothing. Sure, even the Pros slice the ball from time to time, nobody is perfect, it's also normal for novice players to slice all the time. But if you want to develop your game, then you must fix your swing.

Let's start with the basics. First of all, let's give an explanation to what golf slice actually is. Slice is a term describing a specific left-to-right type of trajectory of the golf ball for right-handers, the opposite is true for lefties. Either way, a slice ends up right (or left) of the target line. Every golfer tries to hit the ball squarely and straight, but if the club face is slight open at the point of action in one direction, it will cause the ball to spin which will ultimately make the ball go left or right.

It's all about cause-and-effect principle. As pointed out, a slice is caused when the clubhead is twisted in one direction at the moment of impact. The cause of this effect is usually wrong grip, wrong setup, wrong swing or a combination of all those mistakes.

The most common reason for a slice is the grip is too weak and too tight with the handle in the palm's tree. Make sure your motion is controllable, it's about gently swinging the club, not haking it. If you look at how Pro golfers do it, you will see that they don't put much pressure into their swing, they do it almost effortlessly.

Rhythm and balance are also key elements. The main movement in every golf swing is rotating your upper body back, then rotating it through to the finish. If you perform the motion too fast, then you will loose your balance resulting in poor ball flight. the right setup lays the foundation for a good golf swing. The body weight must be equally balanced between your left and right foot, and then at the point of impact, nearly 75% of your weight should shift to the front foot.

Remember, golf is a mental sport. 90% of the whole thing depends on your mind set. The level of concentration makes the difference. Because, it's one thing to know it in theory, putting your knowledge into practice is sometimes harder than anticipated. Once you know the theoretical part, it will depend on you and your focus.

Of course, there is no magical system. You can't turn from slicer to a pro in one night. There are some good anti-slicing techniques available online, but they alone won't help you. Practice, practice, practice.
