I play golf left handed. I have a terrible slice. My short irons are straight. How can I correct my slice?

Answer 1

Most new player develop a slice when learning golf. The tend to swing with the arms and swing too hard. In golf the swing is really a product of the shoulder turn. The arms merely lift drop and control the face of the club. Swinging with extra froce causes an outside in swing which promotes a slice.
To correct your swing.
loosen the grip (frees up the chest and shoulder muscles)
take the club back low and slow toward the inside.
From the top start he downswing by dropping your left arm straigtht down toward the ground (force the club inside).
Never cast the club from the top (often caused when you attempt to swing too hard) but get it into that inside out path.
The looser grip will help to release the club face (square the club head),
The reason that you shot irons are straight or have less slice is two fold the shorter shaft is easier to control and the added loft adds backspin that counteracts the side spin causing the slice.
Good luck

Answer 3

Buy a new driver that is either off-set or heel weighted. Most of the newer drivers are weighted to fight a slice and cause more of a draw. The Taylormade R5 Type D that came out a couple years ago is a good one to try. It stopped my slice and anyone I let try it didn't slice either.

There are so many cures for this. I would research them online and see which one may work for you. A lesson wouldnt hurt either. From my personal experience, all I did is strengthen my grip to correct my slice. Now i'm down the middle for the most part.... I hook now if not. Just turn your hands away from the target more in your grip. Its uncomfortable, but it may do the trick after you get used to it. Good luck.

Well coming from a fellow lefty, i would check your gip, it may be too weak or if at address you may have your left arm "in front of" your right, like your right arm should be stiff and let your left arm hang loose. It could be your swing, you might be coming from the outside to the inside on your downswing. Just remeber back and up the wall. o yeah and check and make sure you have good posture
