Do you have problems in your golf swing and are annoyed with attempting to fix a slice? Well, in this article I will provide you with 5 slice tips that should get you to stop slicing so the next time you get on the course you can begin hitting longer, straighter more accurate shots as well as in return improve your overall scores!
Tip 1 - Check For Proper Grip
Before you may make the proper golf swing you initially, must have the correct grip on the club. There are 3 main grips a golfer can use. The baseball grip, interlocking grip and the overlapping grip. If you're having trouble being able to stop slicing a golf ball try one of these different grips.
The baseball grip is for the player that is aiming to get through the golf ball at impact much faster. In the case with the slice lots of the times the primary issue is because the player is just not getting through the ball properly at impact. So if you've never used the baseball grip give it a try. Simply grip the golf club like you would a baseball bat with the knuckles on the left and right hand lined up in a straight line. This could be the easy fix your looking for to fix a slice!
Tip 2 - Check Your Set Up Position
The 2nd thing you need to look at when trying to fix a slice is to evaluate your set up position. Whenever you set up to your golf ball make sure that you are lined up to your target. How can you do this? Easy take the club and simply hold it across your shoulders with the butt of the club facing your target. If the butt of the club is facing to far towards the left you can make a small adjustment in your stance and be able to get aligned just right. One of your main reasons a golfer can't stop slicing the golf ball is because they're to open at their initial set up.
Tip 3 - Make Sure You Get A Good Hip Turn
Tip 3 to help you fix a slice should be to make sure you are getting a good hip turn through out the golf swing. When you take the golf club back look at making a complete turn with the hips. When you start the downswing try and rotate your hips through the golf ball. If you can get a good hip turn through out the swing it will allow you to get through the ball at impact keeping the club face from being open.
A good way to accomplish this really is to think of finishing high with the golf club after making impact with the golf ball. By training the body to finish high, which causes the hips to turn completely will help alleviate the rights in your shots getting you closer to stop slicing the golf ball.
Tip 4 - Keep Your Swing Smooth
The fourth key to fix a slice within your golf swing is to try not to get to quick through out the swing. What does this mean? Well one of the biggest reasons a golfer can't correct a slice is because everything they do is much to quick. From the 1st move on the back swing to over swinging on the down swing. In order to have a good swing you need to be smooth and relaxed through out.
A great way to work on this is on the driving range before you start a round. Try and allow yourself sometime before you play and hit about 20 golf balls with just your wedge and work on taking the club back slow and swing through the golf ball smoothly. Picture with your head one of your favorite golfers. When I do this drill I try and think of guys like Fred Couples or Ernie Els. If you have ever watched their swings they appear like they hardly even make an effort to hit the golf ball. That is because they are in good rhythm and have great timing when the club hits the ball.
So the moral is work on being smooth and your timing will follow!
Tip 5 - Keep Your Head Still
Last but not least one of your main reason you could potentially be having trouble learning how to fix a slice is because your head is moving all over during your swing. I know you've probably heard this a thousand times but it's true. If you cannot see the club hit the ball you will always struggle with hitting it. If your head is moving in the course of the swing there's a good chance that your head may very well be flying out to quickly causing one's body and shoulders to be opening up to quickly. If this is the case the club face at impact will be open and you can't do anything but hit a golfing slice.
So bottom line is make sure that when you start your swing you look at the back of your ball and after the swing keep the head still and attempt to watch the club face make impact with that spot on the ball you're focusing on. You will be amazed at how this may improve your swing and let you stop slicing a golf ball.
