good tip that may help you cure your golf slice. Best of

First off, please understand that when you come into the impact zone,
there are really only 2 factors that can determine the "shape" of ball
flight.
1. The angle of the club face at impact.
2. The Path the club is taking at impact.
So, here are a few things you should concentrate on to cure your golf slice.
Try to keep your leading shoulder "down" on the ball through impact.
This is called staying strong through impact. Many times the leading
shoulder (left shoulder if right handed) flies up before impact. Now
just for a minute, think about what that does to the club head when
it's in the impact zone. |

Get up from the computer and actually go though the motions slowly.
Let your leading shoulder fly up as you approach impact and you'll
actually be able feel and see the clubface coming from an outside-in
path. That’s the cause of the golf slice you are battling.
See, golf is all about thinking and analyzing your shots to get
better. A huge part of this game is understanding "why" you're getting
a certain result, and the physics behind that result. Thinking through
your golf swing will provide huge dividends if you're willing to
invest the time it takes.
So what can you do to correct that flying shoulder? Well, for
starters, try to learn to keep your leading shoulder strong. Keep that
shoulder "Down" on the ball all the way through impact, even after the
ball is gone and flying straight down the fairway.
So, after impact the leading shoulder is still down. The triangle
between your shoulders and chest is still present. Most importantly,
the body has NOT gotten ahead of the hands. This is a HUGE
distinction. As you may notice, the left shoulder is actually higher
than the right shoulder. So what do I mean when I say "leading
shoulder down"?
You have to envision yourself from the back looking down on the ball.
When I say "down", I mean that the leading shoulder and chest is still
facing the ball through impact. This will keep the club face square
and cure your golf slice.
So even though it may seem like the leading shoulder is higher than
the trailing shoulder, it's still facing the ball at impact. NOT
TOWARDS THIRD BASE in comparison to the ball. If your leading shoulder
was facing towards third base at impact, which would mean that you
have let the leading shoulder fly up.
Furthermore, hand action is huge in this game. You must learn to
release your hands correctly through the ball. This means that you
release the hands while the leading shoulder is still "down", or
facing the ball.
The key is to let your arms release through the ball, while your left
shoulder is "Down" on the ball. To do this you will need to rotate
your forearms correctly, and use your leading ELBOW (not shoulder) as
a hinge. So another way to explain this movement would be that your
hands are still moving towards the target, but your leading elbow has
almost stopped.
Keep the leading shoulder down and let your arms and hands release
through the ball and you will see the ball go farther and higher. This
will take a while to get used to, but once it clicks, the results will
be outstanding and you will be well on your way to curing your
golf slice.
