Steps You Can Take To Cure A Golf Slice

Posted on August 31st, 2011 by Jeremy Winters

Anyone who plays golf understands that the game changes each time you step out on the course. Almost any slight change in your movement or technique will either strengthen or wreak havoc on your game. You might find yourself suddenly chopping at the ball or maybe causing your swing to slice the ball. This short article is about what occurs when your technique changes and ways you might be able to cure a golf slice.

If you have ever gone to a golf school or received private instruction on your golf game, chances are you in addition were given some coaching on ways to use particular strategies to change the way you swing your club. You could possibly not detect what your swing has become or the way it starts and follows through, so having a knowledgeable professional watch you then make slight adjustments to your setup or your swing will make it easier to cure a golf slice.

Without this kind of personal assistance, it is your responsibility to try to return to the basics and work out just what you’re doing wrong and fix it. This usually must happen quickly, like right after the first couple of swings at the course, during a match or outing. Therefore you should begin with the simple things and to be able to do damage control in the course of a match or outing, the very first thing you need to attempt will be to aim to your left to compensate for your slice (for right handed people).

If you find that you consistently slice the ball to the right, use your usual stance then move your feet and your body, in order that as opposed to looking 12 o’clock downrange you’re at this point more at 11 o’clock. Try this for a swing or two. If you’re still slicing to your right, try a 10 o’clock stance. It’s a rough strategy to repair a swing, however it usually works. Continue shifting to the left until finally you find that the change now places the ball where it needs to go.

Yet another approach to make an “on the fly” correction would be to change the angle of your clubface at address. The best way to line up your club with the ball is to line up your stance at 12 o’clock to where you would like the ball to travel and be sure your clubface hits the ball center and perpendicular to the 12 o’clock stance. If you’re slicing to the right, rotate the club in your hands to make sure that the clubface is now moved to an 11 o’clock position on the ball. Try out a few swings and make further alterations when necessary to the left until eventually the ball is landing where you would like it to land.

These are two quick and basic changes just about any golfer can make with their swing to be able to fix a slice. Try them and find out where they take you, but do not depend on these for the long run. You are going to still have to make a few foundational changes to your swing so that you are swinging at a perfect 12 o’clock position.
