Secrets and Golf Techniques to Cure the Slice
Slice is described to be a shot that started off slightly to the left then swerving to the right in the air. Those new to this game often have this fault and it tends to be frustrating. Because the slice is uncontrollable, it can be also be destructive because it sends the ball deep into the rough. This is also a more common mistake than the hook which happens when the does the opposite through the air.
Secrets to Cure the Slice
Your first step to cure the slice is correct your body alignment so see if your shoulders, chest, hips, and feet are parallel to each other and to the ball to pin line. You need to make sure that your body is aligned correctly and is not aiming too far to the left if you want your upper body to properly rotate. This will then lead to an out to in swing, meaning instead of the club hitting through the ball, it will be moving from outside to the inside of the ball as the impact takes place. Side spin will then be the consequence followed by the dreaded slice.
A slice can still occur even if your alignment is perfect because it also depends on the positioning of the ball in the stance. So make sure your ball is not placed too far forward in the stance. Slicing of the ball can also happen if the face of the club is no longer square on at impact with the ball. Slicing can also be the result of generated side spin by the club face coming past square and moving in from the ball to pin line.
A guide for ideal ball placement
For short irons, place the ball in the stance’s centre, inline with the inside of your left heel for long irons, and between two positions mentioned above for medium irons. Check your posture as weight distribution can also affect your game. Be wary of your weight distribution as it can also encourage slice if your weight is too far forward. Try strengthening your grip. By moving your hands slightly clockwise around the club and lightening the pressure, you could reduce the affect of slicing.
