Tips To Get Rid Of Golf Slice

Working the ball left to right, or right to left can be extremely useful when the flag is behind a bunker or you’re staring at a dogleg. It takes practice and a little knowledge to become better at moving the ball. Watching the better players do this, seemingly with ease, makes the weekend golfers envious. It should not be discouraging because with a few tips you too can fashion your shots. Most players have a natural fade or slice. Unfortunately the shots are not usually controlled. It seems the harder we try to make corrections the worse it gets! Try the following in order to get rid of golf slice.

Get rid of your golf slice

To understand how a club striking the ball affects a shot, consider the ping pong paddles effect on the ball. If you pull the paddle left to right the ball spins towards the left. Conversely, if you push the paddle right to left, the ball spins right! This same effect occurs in a golf swing! A golfer who consistently slices is hitting the ball left to right (for a right handed golfer), which means the club is crossing the ball right to left. One of the best ways to get rid of golf slice is to learn to draw or hook the ball. This means you will learn to hit the ball right to left. You’re probably wondering how to start.

Try making small changes and working on only one change at a time. The first try is ball position. When addressing the ball, the closer towards the hole the ball is the more likely you will slice. This is because the club is hitting the ball later in your swing. The club is moving right to left at the point in the swing.

Try moving the ball straight away from the hole about an inch at a time. Hit a few balls, and then move it back again, repeating this pattern. Take notice how much the slice lessens as you do this. In extreme cases this will not get rid of golf slice. You might have to make some further changes.

Along these lines, your second try might be feet alignment or stance. Stand as you usually would and pick a target. Before you swing move your left foot forward one half inch. Make your swing towards the same target. Try hitting a few balls this way. Next, try the same thing, only this time move your left foot forward one inch.

Continue this till you reach three inches. If these tips didn’t work, there is one more that often works. Address the ball as usual, but before you swing, turn your left wrist to the right about an inch. With some or all of these tips you should make great strides to get rid of golf slice! Remember small changes and large gains!
