Correcting A Slice
Author : Garry Booton
Hitting a slice shot is the bane of every golfers life, but it happens even to the best of golfers at one time or another. If you start slicing your shots when you are in the middle of a round you can rectify it by repositioning your stance to take in to account the slice and thereby correcting a slice.
Although it is fine to reposition your stance in the middle of a round of golf to compensate for the golf swing slice. This is not a long term solution to your problem of correcting a slice or improving your swing.
Correcting a slice is best done during a practice session where you can take your time and concentrate on what you are doing. The golf slice is caused by the club face facing to the right of what direction the club is travelling in when it makes contact with your ball. On impact the club creates clockwise spin on the ball driving it to the right.
You have to remember that if you are right handed and your shots are going to the right, this is a slice. If you are hitting the ball to the left this is referred to as a hook shot and not a slice.
There is a simple way to cure the slice shot and improve your swing. Most slices are caused by people trying to hit the ball too hard. They try to generate power through their club and this causes them to have no feel for what is happening to the club face when it impacts with the ball.
The way of correcting a slice is to start with a 5 or 6 iron, and just hit the ball gently so that it travels about 50 yards or so. The aim is to make sure that you are squaring the club face when you hit the ball so that it travels in a straight line. Once you can do this, using the same club try hitting the ball to 100 yards, still maintaining a straight line with the shot.
Once you can hit the ball straight for 100 yards gradually move up through your clubs until you are carrying out the same procedure using your driver.
It is well worth every now and again to go through your downward swing slowly and stopping just before hitting the ball. You need to feel what the club feels like at the point of impact and make a mental note of it. By taking the time to get a feel of what squaring your club should feel like, and practicing this method it will soon become second nature.
By correcting a slice you can improve your golf swing, although there will be a time when you will hit a slice shot in future there is a very good chance that you will instantly know why this happened. Knowing when your swing is not right makes it far easier correcting a slice the next time it happens.
