Cure Your Golf Slice Quickly
Cure Your Golf Slice Quickly
If you are out on the golf course and develop a golf slice, here
are 3 quick ways to cure that dreaded left-to-right banana shot.
Sometimes even low-handicap golfers can suddenly start slicing
their tee shots without warning. The driver is a very
unforgiving club, so even the smallest flaw in technique can be
exposed and amplified. So, what do you do if you are halfway
through a round and out of nowhere start slicing the ball from
the tee? Well, the first thing to do is stay calm. As you are
probably aware, if you become tense about things your muscles in
turn become tense - and tense muscles are one of the main
reasons why someone can develop a golf slice in the first place.
So. assuming that you keep yourself relaxed about the situation,
what can you do to cure your immediate problem? Well, one thing
that you must not do at this stage is start to analyse your golf
swing. The time to make any adjustments to your swing is when
you are practising, not during a round. All you will achieve by
changing your swing during a round will be to become more tense
and disjointed. This will lead to worse shots, even more
tension, and a basic downward spiral leading to a bad round.
Here are 3 things you can do if you if you develop a go
lf slice during a round:
1. Strengthen your grip. Even experienced players who know that
a weak grip can lead to slicing will often think to look at
their swing during a round rather than making a simple grip
change and looking at their overall technique later on the
practice range. For, novices to strengthen your grip you need to
shift the "V" that is made by your thumb and index finger of
your right hand. As you look down at your right hand on the club
you need to shift this "V" to the right so that it points up
more at your right shoulder turning it away from your chin.
(Reverse for left-handers)
2. Do not show your chest to early to the line of the shot. What
do I mean by this? Well, this little tip can just help you to
keep you attacking the ball on the right swing path. At the
finish of your golf shot your chest should point in the target
that you were aiming for. With this tip just try to delay
letting your chest follow through as quick to point towards the
target. This will just help to keep the club on the right path
and prevent a golf slice.
3. Aim further left. "Are your serious!" I hear you ask. Yes -
even though nobody likes playing with a slice, as mentioned
previously the practice area is the place to work out what is
going wrong in your swing. During a round it is much better to
accept the swing that you have for the day and play with it,
compensating accordingly. However, one thing that you must be
careful of is that if you do decide to aim further left is to
align your whole body towards this point. The reason being if
you just aim the clubface further and leave your stance pointing
straight you will more than likely change your swing path and
accentuate your golf slice.
