One of the golf swing basic you must master is to control you slice. Fully more than 70% of golfers hate to slice the golf ball because it is almost impossible to control the direction of the ball. This article will help you to fix your golf slice.

In fact, if you are a right hand golfer your golf ball will most probably curve to the right. To help you cure your “banana ball”. You must first understand your slice. Following are the 3 types of slice you might encounter.

Type 1: The straight slice

Your club is open when applying a bit of spin to the ball. Normally, you ball path will look straight initially and then curve to right. This is known as the straight slice.

Type 2: The Pull Slice

This kind of slide result from which your club facing outside in (clubhead facing slightly to the left). The result of this slice is first the ball will travel to your left and then curve to your right.

Type 3: The Push Slice

The opposite of pull slice which is club facing inside out (club head facing slightly to your right). The ball will first travel to your right and then curve to the right giving you a nice (as intended?) banana curve.

Now, you can judge your slice by looking at your ball path. You should have a better idea why your ball go in those directions. To fix your slice, follow these few tips.

Tip 1: Fix Your Swing

Chance are you have a bad habit of slicing the ball outside in creating a left spin on the ball. When enough left spin applied your ball will curve to the right naturally. To fix this, you have to hit your ball inside out.

Try to drop your right foot to about 10 inch (for right hander) to the back, this will allow you to swing outside in easier. Adopt this swing to your normal stance, you’ll be amazed.

Tip 2: Throw A Bag?

This is a simple yet effective practice. Get something with decent weight, perhaps an impact bag. Swing and drop the bag to the direction you want your ball to land on. Remember to choose something light enough not to hurt your back but heavy enough to control your swing motion.

This practice helps grooves an anti-cut motion. Keep your left arm connected to your chest as you swing back, and maintain that connection until you release the bag to the right of the target line.

Tip 3: Fix your direction

If your swing is straight, ie, not swinging outside in, chances are your clubface it facing the wrong direction. To fix your direction, get a small magnet with the size of a calculator battery and a tee. Glue the magnet to the tee and place the tee onto your clubface.
Place your DIY magneted tee to your clubface with the tee pointing out. Make a few slow-mo swings, and study your clubface to see whether the tee pointing to the direction you intended?

As clubs get longer and as players swing faster, it is quite impossible for beginners not to slice their shots without clear instructions. However, with proper practice and analysis, any golfer can slash his handicaps by 3 to 7 within a short amount of time.

Golf can be a frustrating game and is one of the only games where the aim is a lower score. Golf takes practice and practice and more practice but there are ways that you can easily improve your game. Often the player just needs to be shown or told what to do. Below are the 3 best ways to improve your golf score.

1. Work on your drive. Generally the further you can hit the ball the better your score will be. Practice your driving at one of the many driving ranges. Loosen up a bit, you don’t need to be strangling the club to hit the ball a good distance. The more relaxed you are the better you are likely to drive. If you have a bad slice then you need to adjust your stance, a slice is caused when the club face doesn’t hit the ball when it is vertical.

2. Improve your short game. Most players drop the majority of their strokes on the short game. This is putting and chipping. These two techniques could make or break your game. Again practice plays a large part of it but you can improve your putting and chipping by adjusting your swing and stance. Relax a little and try and hit the ball when the club face is vertical.

3. Perfect your swing. Whether it be your short or your long game that is letting you down, a great golf swing is essential. The key to a good swing is a nice relaxed grip and a position right over the ball. Remember the key is to control the ball and the only way you can achieve this is by hitting it with a vertical club. By this I mean that your club face should hit the ball when the club is vertical.

Perfecting your golf game can be frustrating but it is more than possible.

Fix golf slice is a thought on many amateur golfers’ minds. Studies reveal over 80% of all amateur golfers slice the ball. There have been more training aids, drills and tips to fix the golf slice that I can’t even begin to count.

If you hit a golf slice, have you taken lessons; bought any training aids, and done several drills only to still hit a slice? What a frustrating situation! Do you realize what’s causing your golf slice?

A golf slice is caused by the clubface coming across the ball from outside the target line, creating side-spin on the ball. Upon first thought, this may seem like a mechanical issue. And it is…but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find it’s a ‘physical’ issue.

You see…your body dictates your ability to swing the club efficiently. If your body has ‘physical limitations’, your swing will not be mechanically sound and swing faults will appear.

In the golf swing there are many compensations for lack of proper mechanics. If you can’t make a 90 degree shoulder turn on the backswing, you’ll do whatever it takes to feel like you are making a full turn.

A good example of this would be to rotate your hips beyond the desired 45 degrees to enable your body to make a full backswing. What this does is rob you of power. You have no torque built up in your core to unleash into the ball at impact.

The same thing with a golf slice.

A golf slice is caused by the upper body getting ahead of the lower body, creating an “over-the-top” move, which in turn results in your clubface slashing across the ball and creating side-spin. Here comes the banana ball!

Your first inclination will be to take a lesson to fix this. If that doesn’t work, you might buy a training aid. If that doesn’t work you’ll buy an “offset” driver to help eliminate your golf slice.

Does this sound familiar?

Now the real answer! Take a break on your lessons. Don’t buy anymore training aids. And keep your normal driver in your bag.

You need to work on you core rotational flexibility to be able to initiate the downswing with your lower body first, to avoid the upper body getting ahead of it. It’s that simple. The minute your able to separate the upper and lower body upon initial move down…you’ll see that golf slice improve dramatically.

Doesn’t that make sense?

Along with fixing your golf slice, you’ll add up to 30 yards to your drives. You will get more roll when the ball lands from a draw ball flight. A golf slice is a weak shot that does not penetrate the air for maximum distance.

When you work on your “machine”, your golf swing takes care of itself! You will finally eliminate the thought, ” fix golf slice“.
