The very first thing that you need to realize before you can learn how to fix a slice with a driver is why you slice in the very first place. You see in order to hit a slice there are a few major factors which are involved.
1) To much spin off the driver head at impact (right spin for the right hander & left spin for a lefty)
2) Club head is open at impact
In order to be in a position to fix a slice that you need to eliminate these two factors. How can this be done?
Tip No. 1 - How to take the spin off the driver at impact
If your slicing a golf ball it means that when the club connects with the ball at impact it's coming through the hitting zone with a cut angle. Having a cut angle on the club is typically called coming over the top and can cause you to dramatically slice a golf ball or dead pull it.
If you come over the top of the golf ball it means that when you're taking the club back on the back swing your taking it to far inside the target line. What you must do to correct this issue is to focus on taking the club back on a straight line.
Imagine as your bringing the club back that there's a catcher crouched down behind you in a position to catch a fastball from a pitcher in baseball. Take the club straight back to hit the catchers mitt and then straight up on your turn.
*Note: An awesome drill to work on this is to simply stand with your back against a wall and make your swing. The wall will not allow you to be able to take the club inside and you'll be one step closer to learning how to fix a slice with a driver.
Tip No. 2 - How to get the club head back to square at impact
The next reason you may be slicing a golf ball is because at impact the club head is still open. If your club head remains open at impact there isn't any way you are able to do anything but slice the ball. In an effort to learn how to fix a slice with a driver you must work on these 2 things:
a) Your grip:
Your grip is a huge part of the golf swing and possibly the most overlooked reasons why people are having issues. You need to use the proper grip in order to allow the hands to release the club properly to insure you are making solid contact with the golf ball. In this article it would be tough to go over all the differing types of grips and how to use every one so I would like to provide you simply a quick overview so you may make a quick change.
When you initially grab the club you must be able to see two or three knuckles on your left hand-or if you can't see any knuckles whatsoever-your grip isn't correct. Make it a point whenever you grip the club all eight of your knuckles are showing. This will make a tremendous difference in relation to rotating the hands at impact.
b) Over Swinging
If your having troubles slicing a golf ball maybe it's because you are over swinging. Consider this the sport of golf is called the game of opposites. People believe the harder they swing at the golf ball the further it's going to go. That's not the case in golf. Actually the smoother and more in rhythm you are through out the swing the further and straighter you can hit the golf ball. Sounds crazy I know but it's true.
Perhaps you have sat down on a Sunday afternoon and watched the PGA tour pro's swing at the golf ball? A large majority of them look like they're hardly swing at the ball and then the announcer just says they just hit that drive 305 yards from the tee! Well, if you are looking to learn how to fix a slice with a driver you must work on being more in rhythm and work on your timing to get the club face back to square at impact. If you are able to do this you'll be much closer to meeting your goal.
To be able to learn how to fix a slice with a driver that you have to put the effort and time into learning the proper fundamentals and have the will to go out at the range and work on them.
