How to Fix a Golf Slice by R Shade

Would you like to know how to fix a golf slice? Do you feel that the main obstacle in improving your golf game is the slice? If so, you're not alone! Many recreational golfers feel that if they could just hit their drives straight, the rest of their game would be so much easier. Actually, this is true! Long par 4's and par 5's can be a nightmare to a golfer who slices the ball, because once they slice the tee shot, they find that they are playing catch-up the rest of the hole.

Today, I want to share with you some tips on how to fix a golf slice. You can use these tips to bolster your game, and start losing that slice immediately!

Tip 1: Balance is KEY -- A middle infielder waits on the pitch by keeping his knees bent, facing the plate and keeping his weight balanced evenly on both feet, so that he can quickly react to the hit, and run to the left or the right. The golf swing requires the same balance. Bend your knees, face the ball, and don't start off the shot by leaning in any direction. You've probably seen many "once-a-year" golfers making this mistake. They start the swing off with their weight way off balance. Doing this dooms the swing before you begin. Keeping yourself balanced is crucial, as is keeping the knees bent and being properly set.

Tip 2: WATCH the Left Arm -- One trick many experienced golfers use requires only a watch and your golf club. Take a watch and put it on upside down, where the face of the watch is on the underside of your wrist instead of the top of your wrist. Now, watch that left arm while you slowly swing. If your watch is facing the ground during your backswing, than you're opening up your clubface. Throughout your swing, make sure you can see the face of your watch. If you can, than you're properly rotating your wrist, closing the face of the club, and dramatically lessening the chances of hitting a slice.

Tip 3: Proper Grip -- The grip is not something many consider when they are troubleshooting their swing. But a bad grip can ruin a swing, no matter how good it looks. A good test to make sure you have the proper grip is to insert two golf tees between your thumb and the webbing of your hand while gripping the club. If the tees point toward the target, than your weak grip is a typical slicer's mistake. Make sure both tees are pointing straight in front of you, which will show that you are gripping it properly and reducing your chances of slicing the ball.
