how do you make the ball go straight, I always slice?

Answer 1

Try out these few remedies:

1. Get a draw biased club, if you slice very hard then get clubs with offset. If your slice is like a fade then get draw biased clubs. Cobra is a good club brand that carries offset and draw biased clubs that help slicer. Callaway clubs have some offset too. Do a search on the web and you can find more brands.

2. Close the club face - that doesn't mean you turn your wrists at address. Many golfer turn the wrists to close the club face which is incorrect since they have not remedied the open club face since the srist will be back to the natural phase during the down swing. You need to turn the grip at address to make the club in a slightly closed manner.

3. Offset your address - aim to the left but this is not the best solution since you will draw if you get a good hit.

4. Inside-out down swing - this takes a lot of swing practice to have a inside-out approach on the down swing so you do not over swing to create a slice. Inside-out means the club is coming down from the inside of the down swing and proceed to square with the ball at impact.

Answer 2

I wonder if Targetar's Orlimar anti-slice employs bringing (for right-handers) the right hand over the top of the grip with the 'vee' formed by thumb and forefinger in line with and pointing straight up the club's shaft.
And making sure to address the ball off the left foot...THE most important hint.

Answer 3

If you are right handed you have to stop swinging to the left. If this doesn't make sense, I will try to explain. Swinging to the left means that the club head is travelling across your body to the left. This is the path of least resistance for us lazy humans. Your core muscles aren't strong enough to support the club to swing "straight". So, to fix this, practice swinging without a ball for a couple of weeks by "swinging to the RIGHT". So swing inside-out (Right) instead of outside-in (Left). You have to train your muscles and it will take a while. Another cause is that you are swinging to hard on your downswing instead of just LETTING the club swing. LET is a huge word in golf. Don't force or do in golf, you have to LET. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

All of the other answers aside....The cause for a slice ( or hook for that matter) is Swing flaws. Get some lessons to correct the flaws and you will be straight down the middle

Answer 5

Sorry, If you're born with a slice, a slice you will have for the rest of your life. That's just the way it is.

Answer 6

you have to have the face open to the target line at impact
or you have produced sidespin by coming from the outside across the ball to the left period

if the face is open at impact try a stronger grip slide both hands slightly to the right if that does not work

then maybe you are cutting across the line try to hit the ball to the right of where you aimed if you can and it goes straight then try to start your downswing with a slight slide of your hips to the left i mean slight as in barely

Answer 7

You could book David Leadbetter for a few lessons, but I have heard he charges about $20 000 for half a day.

Answer 8

well this what works for me just put your hips towards the target but if that doesn't work then once the club is at the top off your back swing make sure its facing straight

Answer 9

get an orlimar anti-slice....they arent that expensive, and they are absolutely foolproof.

i sliced really bad, and that club made me hit straight every time....its like magic.

Answer 10

easiest way is to get lessons. trust me, i was self taught for a long time. i saw real improvement only after seeing a pro. online instruction and internet golf tips are often ambiguous and difficult to understand. sure there are tons of tips and drills out there, but if u don't understand it you'll be practicing it wrong.

if u insist on trying to learn on your own tho....give this a try. its pretty simple...
