Golf Tips: The Simple Secret To Solving The Slice
The slice is a shot which usually starts off slightly to the
left, then swerves to the right in the air. The slice is a
common fault that occurs in many beginners game and has to be
one of the most frustrating things that can happen to a golfer.
In most cases, the slice is uncontrollable and is destructive
more often than not resulting in the ball being sent deep into
the rough. It is also far more common than the hook which occurs
when the ball does the opposite through the air.
Ways to cure the slice:
Firstly, make sure your body alignment is correct, your
shoulders, chest hips and feet should all be parallel to each
other as well as parallel to the ball to pin line. If your body
is not aligned correctly and is aiming too far to the left, the
upper body can not and does not rotate properly. This leads to
an 'out to in' swing which means that the club will not be
hitting through the ball but instead will be moving from outside
the ball to inside the ball as the impact takes place. The
consequence of this is side spin being generated on the ball and
the dreaded uncontrollable slice follows.
Even if your alignment, swing and grip are perfect, the
positioning of the ball in the stance can make a good straight
shot into a shot that slices wildly out of play. This occurs
when the ball is placed too far forward in the
stance.
Once again the slicing of the ball occurs because the club face
is no longer square on at impact with the ball. This is because
the club face has come past square and is moving in from the
ball to pin line, this again generates side spin resulting in
the ball slicing again.
Ideal ball placement is different for every club, but this is a
rough guide:
For woods and long irons, the ball should be placed inline with
the inside of your left heel (opposite for left hand players),
for short irons place the ball in the centre of the stance, for
medium irons the ball should be placed between two positions
mentioned above.
Posture should be checked as weight distribution can also have
an affect. Having your weight too far forward can encourage the
slice so be wary of your weight distribution.
If all else fails, try strengthening your grip. Do this by
moving your hands slightly clockwise around the club, then
adjust your grip so you're holding it more in your fingers and
lighten the pressure, this should help reduce the affect of the
slicing.
Happy golfing!
