Answer 2

I had this very same problem, when I first started golfing some 30+ years ago. One day, I golfed with the high school's golf coach. He asked if I would be offended, if he gave me some pointers on how to prevent slicing. I never did if very often, but when I did, it was in no man's land, usually in the rough on the right side of the fairway.

The solution is very, very simple. Set the club you are using, on the ground, behind your ball. Roll your right hand ( if you are a righthander) slightly further under the club. When you come through the ball, your club will close slightly, and, BINGO, the slice will disappear.

The very first time I tried it, the slice was gone. To this day, I very, very rarely slice any shots, unless I am in a very tough lie in the rough somewhere. Give it it a try.......if it works for the golf coach, and works for me.........it should work for you.

One added comment. Lots of my fellow golfers are so set in their ways, they refuse to take comments from other, better golfers. Do not think you ever know it all......be open minded to other golfer's suggestions. After that day, I shot a 74 the very first 18 holes.

Good luck in your golfing lifetime.

A slice can be caused by one thing: your clubface is open at impact, pointing to the right. Now what causes that can be a number of things. That slice can be accentuated by an out-to-in swing path towards the ball. You could be casting or coming out of the swing plane on the way down, due to a backswing too much to the inside...there are a number of reasons. It is possible that you aren't turning through the ball or your arms are blocking the shot every time instead of coming to your left side. The best thing to do is to find your local pro and ask him or her to teach you to hit a draw.

It's more productive than asking what is wrong with your swing or how to stop your slice. After all, lessons aren't free and you have to make the most of that session.

Answer 4

If you know you have a slice then play the slice . Adjust for it. There are lots of reasons for slicing. Most of the weekend players or irregular players have a slice. Open stance or holding on to the club for a longer time or bringing the club from the outside in can all cause slicing. It is best to take a lesson or two, if you are serious about the game.

Answer 5

You have lots of company - almost everyone has a slice. Concentrate on keeping your left arm straight and pushing slightly with your right hand. Also, work on your extension - imagine that you are trying to hit a ball in front of the ball you are actually hitting. Quick fixes are to strengthen your grip (turn your right hand so you can see three knuckles), put the ball further back in your stance, and close your stance a little. You can also line up with the ball in line with the hossel of the club.

More than anything, though, keep your swing relaxed - when you tense up or try to force a hard swing, your muscles naturally contract and your arms pull in, giving you a slice.

Answer 6

If you are a right handed player - square up your swing path, making sure it is going straight to the target after contact and not to the left or right of it. Then make sure the club head is square to that line. If that doesn't work then roll your hands over to the left with your right hand going over your left hand after contact. And if for some ungoddley reason you are still slicing the ball grab a drink to relax and start at the begining of this message.

Answer 7

ok that is an easy one. i used to slice but my golf couch told me to put the club cover under my right arm pit.(if ur right handed) it seems weird but it works. the main reason people slice is because the raise their elbow and that makes u swing out to in = slice. by putting that club cover under ur arm pit when u warm up it keeps ur elboy down. heres how u do it. grab ur club and put the cover in place and u have to keep it there on ur back swing but then when u hit the ball and follow through then u can let it out but that will help u keep it where it should be. and another thing to think about. think of it as if ur driving ur elbow into the ground straight down or into ur hip but instead of going into ur hip which would hurt and really screw up ur swing. just sort of bring it down and across ur stomach and as u turn into the ball. hope it works good luck.

Answer 8

Try rotating your left hand (if right-handed) on top of the club more. This will help keep the clubface closed.

Answer 9

Try taking a lesson from a pro. They're wonderful helpers.

Answer 10

YOU ARE NOT RELEASING THE HANDS THROUGH IMPACT. oN YOUR PRACTICE SWINGS force your hands to swing through the ball. hinge on the backswing and unhinge through the ball.
