Golf Slice - An Easy Fix.
The number one
problem the average golfer encounters with their golf game is
slicing the golf ball. We've all been through it. Some players
will even aim their drive to the extreme left side of the
fairway to try and compensate for it going way over to the
right side. By simply correcting your golf slice you will cut
several strokes off your scorecard.
Many golfers will spend years living in frustration with their
golf game because they never take the time to learn why they
slice the golf ball, or how to fix the problem. If you ever
expect to become a better golfer, you must learn how to
correct your slice. Listed below are some tips that will help

A Good Stance
The right stance should put your feet about as wide as your
shoulders. Be sure your shoulders are aligned to the target
you're aiming for. If you are questioning whether or not
you're lined up to the target, lay a golf club down on the
ground against your toes. See if it is aiming at your target.
If not, simply adjust your stance so that you're lined up
correctly. Your right foot should be straight ahead and your
left foot should be pointing a little to the left.
Be sure your elbows are natural and comfortable. Keep in mind
that even minor adjustments or changes can make big
differences of where your golf ball will end up. Be sure to
spend time at the driving range practicing your stance. Make
the changes you need to make to align yourself properly. This
time will be well spent. You'll be amazed at the results. |

Grip The Golf
Club Correctly
By adjusting your golf grip correctly, you can help cure a slice
quickly. The proper grip will have your left hand and your thumb along
the shaft. It should line up pointing toward your right eye. Next,
wrap your right hand over your left and be sure your right palm is
sitting over your left thumb.
Another common problem is gripping the golf club tightly with your
right hand. This will cause you to hook the ball. On the flipside, a
weak grip will keep the clubface open and cause you to slice.
To correct your golf slice that is caused by a weak grip is to roll
your hands back so that your weaker back hand faces the target and
your stronger back hand faces in the opposite direction. This grip
will eliminate your slice.
By going to the driving range and practicing this new golf grip you
will know immediately if this is what has been causing you to slice
the golf ball. Be sure to take your time and make small adjustments to
your grip. This may sound too simple, but an improper golf grip is the
cause to most slicing problems. By changing your grip you may be able
to correct your slice in a quick amount of time.
Good Swing Mechanics
Correcting your golf swing mechanics is yet another good cure to
fixing a golf slice. A correct backswing begins with your hands,
followed by your arms and then your shoulders, all in one fluid
motion.
The right downswing starts by turning your hips, keeping your eyes
focused on the golf ball and your head should be behind the ball as
you go into your follow through.
Once you begin practicing using these tips on the driving range,
you'll quickly overcome any slicing problem you may have. Getting good
at golf is simply a matter of practice and developing good habits.
Tiny changes have a way of producing big results. In a short amount of
time you will see yourself saying goodbye banana ball and hello green!
