How do you fix a left to right ball movement in golf?

Answer 1

In order for the ball to curve to the right, your clubface has to be meeting the ball in an "open", that is also facing right, position when you hit the ball. This imparts the left-to-right spin on the ball. Try a stronger grip. This does not mean to squeeze more tightly, but set the club down in its normal position, relax your grip and turn the clubface slightly to the left, and then regrip. This should square up the face and keep it from spinning off to the right. Too much and you will hook the ball to the left, so you may have to experiment at the range until your ball flight is straighter. A little fade, which is a slight left-to-right is OK as is a little draw, which is a slight right-to-left. Most pros do one or the other as it is more difficult to hit an absolute straight shot. All this info is for a right-handed golfer by the way. Hope this helps a bit.

Answer 2

Well, the main thing I'm going to tell you is finish high. You're more than likely swinging on an outside to inside path which gives the ball little other option than to go right.
To correct this you need to take the club back inside the target line to the top, don't worry about a big back swing at first until you get the feel of this move. Follow that same path down to impact and follow through, finishing high (which helps roll that top hand over to square up the club face at impact).
You'll starting striping them down the middle and even turning them over in no time.

Answer 3

You need to practice swinging down through the ball on an inside to out swingpath and rotate the grip through the impact point. That will promote a draw. Most of the left to right is due to your swnpath through the ball.

Answer 4

check your grip. "v's" of both hands down the shaft. Slow down your swing - swinging hard tends to compound errors in contact which is what a good shot is all about - good contact. Shorten your backswing - left arm straight and parallel to the ground is plenty to generate all you need torque at impact. Practice chipping with wedge or nine iron. (Superior technique to hone your swing!! Seriously.)

Answer 5

there are too many things which can cause this. i'll give you an easy one to try, aim right, it may be an allignment problem, aim right should promote a draw/hook, i have plenty more little tips but i'm afraid to say i don't have the time to go through all the things that can cure slices, the majority of golfers slice

Answer 6

most of the time swinging from out side in causes left to right ball flight. if you play right handed your right elbow controls your club path. when you start your down swing pull your right elbow in against your side. quit aiming so far left that makes your slice worse.

Answer 7

if you are hitting a slice.. you can move your hand position on the club.. move to a stronger grip by shifting your hands to the right a bit more.. use more of closed stance.
if you are hitting a fade.. play from the left hand side of the tee box. "Lefty" plays a fade and has won the last two majors.. its ok to hit fades..

Answer 8

You might be falling away from the ball on impact. While hitting the shot think about walking toward your tee after you hit the shot.

Answer 9

You are slicing it. Try to "free" your right arm (I assume you are right handed) so your left hand can pronate more. This also gives you a "freer" swing. Sorry, not a pro.
