How to Quickly Cure a Slice

If you having playing golf for any length of time then you know how frustrating a slice can be. When you have slice demands in your game not only do you lose distance but you also lose accuracy.

This can really have a major impact on your scores so the first thing you need to do is address and understand the problem. The answer to any problem lies within the problem itself.

The club face at impact is coming across the ball. As the ball takes off it can start out going straight but then as the speed decreases the spin becomes dominant causing it to veer off the target line.

There are a number of factors that can contribute to this, one is grip. If your grip is weak the shaft of your club can rotate as you take the club back which then in turn affects the club face at impact.

Also having too tight of a grip or what is considered a strong grip can also cause problems at impact. Excessive tension in your forearms can also affect rotation when you are coming back to the ball in the downswing.

How you address the ball or your stance when swinging the club can also be a factor. If it is too open relative to the target line you can also find yourself cutting across the ball.

Additionally where the ball is positioned can be a factor. If the ball is too far forward the club face can start to cut across it at impact.

Now that we have identified the problem here are some quick ways you can overcome it. One, get your grip right, number two, address the ball correctly and get your setup square to the ball. Get your shoulders aligned with the target line.

Practice this at the driving range and you will start to see improvements in your game and you will find that you start slicing the ball less.
