Cure Your Slice
It has been said that over 80% of golfers struggle with a slice. Billions of dollars have been invested in “curing” the slice but like the common cold most everyone still seems to get one once in a while. So how do you cure your slice?
Hundreds of gadgets have come to the market purporting that just 15 minutes and your slice will be a thing of the past and that longer straighter drives are just 3 easy payments away. And countless manufacturers claim that their clubs and balls are now longer and straighter than ever. With all of these products and all of this research then why do 80% of golfers still slice the ball?
ACCURACY PACKAGE
It is time to separate fact from fiction and symptoms from causes. The only reason that a golf ball slices or turns to the right in mid flight is that the club face was “open” to the path of the swing at the point of contact with the ball. This means that the toe of the club was behind the heel and the point of impact.
OPEN CLUBFACE
How to cure your slice
In order to cure your slice and hit a straight shot you need to make sure that the club face is square to the swing path at the point of impact. Three common causes of an open club face are:
- A “palm grip” that does not allow the hands to work properly so the club face is open at the point of impact. Chances are if you wear a hole in the palm of your glove that you are employing a palm grip.
- An open stance, causing the heel of the club to lead the toe of the club through impact.
- Poor body action causing the golfer to hit from their back foot.
