Easy Tips For Fixing A Golf Slice

If you are looking to fix a golf slice, there are a few helpful tips which can get you on the right track.

Adjust your setup, this includes strengthening your grip, fixing your alignment, and making sure your golf ball position is correct.  A stronger grip will help you combat your slice.  Make sure to turn your hands more to the right on the grip so that the two Vs or lines that form between your thumbs and forefingers point up towards your right shoulder.  This is a strong grip.  If the lines between your thumbs and forefingers point up towards your chin, your grip is more neutral.  Making your grip stronger may not completely fix your slice, but it should help reduce it quite a bit.  

It is good to be aware of your alignment when you set up to the golf ball.  You want to make sure the line of your feet, hips, shoulders, and even your forearms are all parallel to your target line.  Many times golfers will incorrectly align themselves on the golf course which will cause problems in direction of their golf shots.  The most common error for a slicer is to align too much to the left with their body and feet.  This is a compensation which will actually make your slice worse and you'll lose a lot of distance.  An open stance will promote being open at impact thus leading to a weak shot without much power.  

It can be helpful to work on your alignment on the driving range by putting an alignment stick or club down pointing just parallel left of your target line, in between your golf ball and your feet.  That way, you can make sure your feet are aligned correctly by just making sure they are both the same distance away from the club laying down.  From there, once you have your feet set, just make sure your hips and shoulders are lined up over them.

Playing the golf ball too far forward in your stance can promote a slice but playing it too far back can cause other problems.  The ideal and correct place to play the ball with all your full swing iron shots is 3 quarters of the way up in your stance.  The ball should be halfway between the middle of your stance and your left or front heel.  With your driver, it's good to play the ball directly in line with your left or front heel.  With fairway woods or hybrids, play the golf ball just slightly back off of your left heel.  When you are chipping or pitching, you'll want to play the ball back in your stance however as this is a totally different shot with a different objective.

Now, many slicers have a tendency to open up their body too early before they've actually hit the golf ball.  The problem with this is opening up the upper body drags the clubface across the golf ball which puts a left to right sidespin on the golf ball.  The left to right sidespin produces a slice or left to right ball flight when it is traveling in the air.  By keeping your back to the target longer on your downswing, you'll be able to swing the golf club down more easily on the proper swing path and straighten out your shots.  This will produce a more in to out swing path which is simply the opposite path of a golf slice.
