Golf Cut - Tips - The Simplest Way To Correct It

As with any golfing problem in order to correct a slice in golf you need to begin with your golf set up. You'll need to check your grip, your body alignment in relation to your target, ball position and your posture. If your set up is wrong you will have no possibility of fixing your golf swing. Your golf swing is maybe the very last thing to be wrong.

Let's imagine that you've got the perfect set up, what other considerations could cause your cut?

The swing-path thru the ball is the most influential, for a slice to happen you will be swinging the club on an outside to inward swing-path, this when contacting the ball gives a sideways or clockwise spin on the golf ball.

How do we stop this? Well once you have set up correctly try swinging the club in an opposite swing-path. Put simply try to swing the club on an insider to out swing-path, making sure that you release your wrists thru impact. Taking the club away from the ball low and slow on the back swing can help here.

To practice this method you can begin to practice with half swings to get an understanding of the shot. If you have been consistently slicing you'll have become so accustomed to swinging out-to-in that you wont even know you are doing it. Confirm your hands are not too tight on the grip and that your wrists are free to release at impact.

When practicing at the golf range place two clubs parallel to each other pointing towards your target. One club should be 6 inches behind your ball and the other should be just in front of your feet. This is going to help you to align your body and also to help give you a line to play to for attempting to swing in to out.

The key points to correcting a slice is, set up your alignment square to target line.

Check that your grip isn't too tight, too much strain in the grip means that you'll not be well placed to release your wrists through the ball. Check and ensure that your ball position isn't too far forward and make sure that your posture is good and you are balanced.

One last tip, try hitting some golf balls from a side hill lie with the ball above your feet. This will help as it assists in promoting an in-to-out swing trail.
