Ending Your Slice

10:43 am May 18, 2009

99% of all golf players have battled a slice problem at some point.

A bad slice shot can hurt a golf game tremendously. To help you end
your slicing problems forever, follow the easy & practical set of
instructions outlined below.

(While the following technique will work for most people, I cannot
guarantee that everyone will follow these guidelines strictly. It’s up
to you to use this knowledge. Get on the golf course & practice!)

There are only two real variables which determine the direction of a
flight path:

1.The club face angle &

2.The direction in which the club was traveling when it hit the ball.
Let’s see what influences them….

A. Your Leading Shoulder

When it comes to shoulders, try keeping the front shoulder down,
towards the ball, & directly through impact. The term for this
technique is called “staying strong” through the ball’s impact. Many
golf players never realize how much their leading shoulder “pops
up” just before the club face makes contact with the ball. This can
change the ball’s direction, which, of course, is never the way you
intend it.

See for yourself. Go through your swing motions very slowly. Pay
attention to your front shoulder as you approach impact & look at
the club face.

You should see & feel the club face coming in from the outside-in
direction. This is most likely causing your slice.

B. Hands & Forearms

Pay specific attention to the way your hands grip & release. You
have to learn the correct way to release your hands “through” the
ball.

Basically, you have to release your hands while your front shoulder
(the leading shoulder) is kept down & facing the ball. In order to do
this, your forearms must rotate correctly. Your front elbow (leading
elbow) acts as a kind of hinge.

So, practice keeping your front shoulder down & practice letting
your forearms & hands release smoothly through ball…

*Added benefit: Once these habits have become like 2nd nature to
you, you should also see big gains in distance & height on most of
the shots you attempt.
