Question

I have bought a new driver tried to change my swing and still I get a wicked slice.

Answer 1

practice practice practice.

Answer 2

You could have a swing where you come to the ball from the INSIDE and then go out. I actually have had the same problem in the past, and all that was needed to fix it was some work on the path of the club, and simply following through all the way. When you're finished with your swing, your belly button should be facing the target. Just practice on the driving range. And remember, you only use your driver 13 times in an average round of golf, so if it isn't working, try improving some of your other shots.

Answer 3

There are few ways you can slice... An open club face with a straight swing path, a square club face with an outside to inside swing path, or an open club face with a outside to inside swing path. Step 1 would be to check your set up. Use golf clubs at the range or a mirror in your house to ensure your shoulders, hips, and feet are square with the target line. Check your grip, make sure it is either neutral or strong. On your take away start the swing with your lower body, not your hands. Check your hand position at the top of the swing. Your hands should only hinge straight up. If you're right handed you may be hinging and fanning your hands open causing you to cast the club at the beginning of the down swing in order to try to square the club face. Try these changes while swing the club slowly. If it doesn't feel weird at first then you haven't changed anything. And don't let anyone tell you to keep your head still. The golf swing is a dynamic move the head will move during the swing otherwise you'll just reverse pivot.

I think you are swinging outside to inside with an open club face. If you are swing outside to inside you could move your right foot back in your stance which would give you a closed set up. A strong grip would likely help you close the club face up a little more. It's a temporary fix and it's not going to really fix your swing issues. Honestly, before you buy another club... lessons are a more cost effective way of improving your game.

Answer 4

Well, it could be a multitude fo things causing you to slice the ball. The first thing I would look at is your swing path. You could be "casting" the club at the top which would cause you to have an out to in swing path in turn causing the slice. I would check that first. If this is the case then try to keep your wrists tight at top and don't throw the club out on your downswing, try to keep the club on and in to out swing path.

Another thing you could be doing is not closing the face quick enough. You should try to rotate your right forearm over your left to close the clubface on the down swing.

Finally, check your grip. There are a lof of possibilities with this. Your grip can make many things happen. If you have access to pro, go and take a lesson and let them watch your swing and they can help you to correct it.

Answer 5

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Answer 6

1) Check your grip. A common reason why people slice is that the face is open at impact.

2) Check your swing path. An out to in swing path imparts slice spin onto the ball.

Hope this helps.

Answer 7

Make sure you are swinging out in your follow through, not around. I played alot of softball and it was causing me to slice the ball because I was swinging like I was hitting a softball. Also, adjust your feet either right or left according to where you hit it. I have to aim way right to get my ball in the fairway because of my slice.

Answer 8

I bought the MEDICUS for my husband, and it works in helping him get rid of his slices. He's been using it for 2 years now, and when the season presents itself after the winters, he brings it out to the range for about an hour, and he is (literally) back in the swing again.

Answer 9

on your downswing, try rotating your top hand over as if you were turning the clubface in. this creates a spin that will turn the ball from right to left for a right handed player.

Answer 10

your club head is facing too far out. rotate it in just a little. also you are probably rotating your hips too much like a baseball swing.

Answer 11

quit golfing and take up fishing
