Cure Your Golf Slice For Good-With These 3 Simple Tips To Lose Your Slice

The golf slice is an affliction that plagues most amateur golfers..if you are playing off a handicap of greater than 8 the likelihood is that you are slicing your golf ball and costing yourself enormous amounts of distance every time you tee it up.

Here is how to cure your distance slapping slice in 3 easy steps..

Step 1

The first place to look for a golf slice cure is your grip. Strengten it. Turn both hands more to the right so that the 'v' s formed by your thumb and first finger are pointing outside your right shoulder.

This is a pretty dramatic move but will give you the sensation of hitting a draw or hook pretty quickly. When this happens you will fill with confidence and soon will be able to aim down the right hand side of the fairway and know that your ball will draw back into the middle of the fairway.

Don't overdose with this cure though..after a little while if you are getting into trouble on the left hand side of the course you can tweak your grip again, but this time you will be doing it with the confidence of hitting draw shots rather than slices and your set up and alignment will improve as a result.

Step 2

Make sure your set up and alignment are spot on..when you slice you will overcompensate for this by aiming to the left. The result of this is that you can acquire the bad habit of open shoulders at address. Playing with a stronger grip will automatically force you to turn your shoulders slightly more closed rather than open.

Step 3

Work on your release through impact. What you need to aim for is a full flowing release with the right forearm climbing up and over the left through impact and into the follow through.

Practice this release without a ball and work also on swinging the club about knee height and watch as the club closes through impact.

Still slicing? Close that clubface earlier in the downswing.
