i slice big time...can someone give me tips?

Question

every time i go up to hit i always slice it (for a drive and sometimes hittin with a hybrid) someone give me tips

Answer 1

Heres what my golf pro has taught me........

The golf club is like a door, it swings back forth, just like one. What you need to do when swinging, is keep the fluent motion, just like the door, durning you swing.

Heres how myself and the guy who taught me this have altered it.

Start with the ball about an inch of the front foot in your stance. Don't over extend. Relax, stand up tall, keep a relaxed grip. In you back swing, come back by turning your hips, keeping your head square to the ball. Make sure when turning back, you keep your shoulders level, not pushing weight on the front or backside. When turning your hips back, keep the face, Like The Door!

On your downswing, use your lower body to power through the ball. Usually the tendency of a slice comes from lack of lower body in your swing, and using too much upper body. Turn through the ball with your chest and hips, keeping those shoulders square and head on the ball. When finishing, you want a strong pivot, and good balance. End with the club behing neck, parallel to the horizon. Hold your finish. If you can finish your swing, and freeze the pivot movement, you will have felt a good swing, and should see good results. Hope this works!

Answer 2

Consider a strong grip. Roll your hands further to the right so that you can sweep the club through the hitting are a bit easier. I used to slice too. This and dropping my right foot back a few inches helped.
Get to the range and try a couple things (one at a time) to see how they affect your ball flight and then build from there.
Remember too that golf is a game of opposites, on the range, try aiming right down the middle instead of playing for the slice.
Good luck!

Pros cost big bucks, $$$!

If you really like golf, and are just starting, get Golf, or Golf Digest mag. They’re cheap, and filled with good advice.

Some free anti-slicing tips:

1.Get your shoulder under your chin on your back swing AND your through swing (after impact). This will keep your head down and club going through at impact.

2. Release the club-head, don’t pull it. If anything try to throw the club-head at the ball.

3. Try to time it up right. Impact should occur when your shoulders are pointed at the target, not to the left, like they most likely are. (Assuming right handed) Don’t rush your upper body.

4. Finish your swing high. Strike a pose. Get your club over your left shoulder, and watch the ball until it lands.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Most people I see do this have 1 of 2 problems there are other contributing factors but I see this the most. 1 hanging back weight on back foot at impact, and 2 open face at impact caused by body moving ahead of the hands.

Answer 6

straighten your arms and make a big loopy swing and always roll your hands through impact.. leaving your hands open , opens club face and causes a clockwise spin sending the ball on a slice pattern and try not swinging so hard or such a big back swing less backswing means less time to screw up your allignment

Answer 7

The best tip I can give you to correct your slice problem is lessons. We can't see what you are actually doing to cause the slice. A slice can manifest from numerous different swing flaws.

Answer 8

You could be coming over the top. The first lesson a pro teaches is take the club back low and slow. Feel the weight go back but do not sway. Go see a pro.
