A How To On Curing The Golf Slice Forever

If you are new to golf then you will find that curing the golf slice is one of the first problems you face when you get past the basics.Without a doubt the slice is what plagues most golfers when they start out. 

You will even see the pros fire off the occasional slice when under pressure.

So why does this happen?A swing moving from out to in across the ball starts the slice but the second element, an open clubface completes it.

One of the biggest problems golfers face today is curing that annoying slice. Imagine how much more accurate you can be if you could improve your golf swing technique and considerably decrease your slice.

In order to help you eliminate the slice we have prepared 5 tips to help out.

1. To eliminate the slice, you must develop a wide and powerful backswing. You have to keep your left arm straight as you take the club backwards, but you must not keep your left arm straight in your follow-through.

If kept straight, your left arm can lead to a heavy slice. This is due to your left arm hindering your right arm’s natural rotation. How to adjust? Simple.

Let your left arm bend during your follow-through. Swing the club with your left hand several times then switch to carrying out a normal full swing.

2. Another cause of slicing is because you are letting your club get too far behind you on the backswing, which makes you get outside your target line on your downswing. Without a club, try swinging your left arm, mimicking a full swing.

Your arm has to cross your chest and meet up with your right shoulder. On the downswing, try replicating that motion exactly, only backwards.

3. When it comes down to it, a slice is just a lack of squaring the club with the ball. So you need a great finish to square the club with the ball correctly. A good drill to try is to take an 8-iron and tee up.

Swing it back to waist height, cock the club up, and then pull towards your left. The ball should travel about 50 yards. Be sure to make your chest and belt buckle face your target.

4. Let’s say your problem is a bit worse. You are hitting big banana slices. You must square the club to the ball earlier. What you should do is draw a yard long straight line in the sand in a bunker.

Take a 5 iron or 6 iron and swing the club above the line. Try to get your divot to start at the line and go forward. Keep trying until you can hit at least 10 shots in a row that start at the line.

5. Often one’s slice can be eliminated, only to come back stronger than ever. Don’t worry; there is a golf swing tip for this too. Make your way to the practice area. There you can find hills that place the ball slightly above your feet.

A strong left hand grip is needed. This naturally straightens out your swing. Just keep the same grip as you hit balls on a flat surface. I hope that after reading this you will be able to kiss you slice goodbye.
