Help me plz!!!?

Question

I have a natural slice and I have tried everything in my power to stop it. can anyone give some advice.

My grip and stance are good!

Answer 1

it is a slice with the driver or the rest of your clubs? in any case, when you grip your club be sure to have the club face closed a bit and then take your grip - and when you set up over the ball, close you stance just a hair - with a closed stance, you will bring the club from the inside and with the closed club face you should impart some draw on the ball if not a draw at least straight if not straight at least a fade but the slice should be gone

Answer 2

Possible problems and fixes:
1. bringing club too far inside on the backswing takeaway. FIX - Try bringing the club straight back or even a little to the outside.
2. Release is late or not enough release is happening. FIX - For a late release you can move the ball forward in your stance or work on throwing your hands through quicker at impact. For more release strengthen your grip - for right hander that means both hands rotate towards your right shoulder when gripping the club.
3. Alignment isn't square. FIX - square your club face and body up to your target line. You can close your stance if need be, but you might start hooking the ball. Closing your stance is when you show more of your back to the target. Open stance is when you show more of your front to the target.
4. You might also be standing too far away from the ball. FIX - stand at a distance where your arms hang straight down from your shoulders.

Answer 3

Since I don't know specifics about your swing, I'll try to address the basics.

Most slicers' fault lies in the fact that they make their takeaway too fast, therefore ruining their tempo. Also, they bring the club too far to the inside on the backswing, causing a reactionary outside to in move that puts massive clockwise sidespin on the ball. Or then again it could be the fault of a bad setup. Or it could be a grip that is too weak.

Try using a stronger grip (turning your right hand under the shaft a bit before gripping the club), loosen your grip to ensure proper release of the hands, and place a shaft on the ground that is parallel to your target line, and set your feet, knees, hips and shoulders parallel to that line. On your backswing, take the club back along your target line with a smooth tempo and really focus on coiling your upper body instead of using a lot of arm movement.

Power and consistency comes from the coiling and uncoiling body, not the arms. Think "effortless power" not powerful effort".

I know its a lot of information and i think I got carried away a bit but try that and see if it helps you.

Answer 5

The problem can range from equipment (unlikely), grip, address, and swing mechanics. Best bet is to take a 30 minute less from a certified instructor and get to the root cause.

Answer 6

Mabey it is the way you are swinging. Keep your head down, and I know you said your grip and stance are good, but you legs should be shoulder length away.

Answer 7

when taking your grip, turn your left hand (if you are a right hander) about a half inch to the left. This will close up your clubface when you are getting in the hit zone.

Answer 8

DONT LISTEN TO DUCKFOOT!! He's got it completely wrong! I had the same problem 2 months ago. I'm a lefty. My instructor told me to move my right hand thumb(YOUR LEFT HAND THUMB) and a half inch to the left(YOUR RIGHT) I now have a draw on every single club. I now hit the ball 10 yards further on every club.

Answer 10

you have "lazy hands" meaning that you don't keep your hands straight when you come through your swing. You don't have to hold the club extremely tight, just tight enough. Keep your hands straight when you come through your swing. Don't get lazy.
