Fix A Golf Slice – Don’t Waste Your Time And Money

Fix a golf slice is a thought that many amateur golfers have in their minds. Studies reveal over 80% of all amateur golfers slice the ball. There have been more training aids, drills and tips to fix the golf slice that I can’t even begin to count.

Have you ever taken any lessons to fix your golf slice? Or have you got any of those miracle training aids several times just to end up with the same unsolved problem? Isn’t that frustrating? Have you noticed what’s the actual problem?

A golf slice is caused by the club-face coming across the ball from outside the target line, creating side-spin on the ball. Upon first thought, this may seem like a mechanical issue. And it is…but if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find it’s a ‘physical’ issue.

You need to know that it is your body what rules your capability to swing the club with effectiveness. If you have any kind of physical impediment, your swing will come with mechanical problems and the faults will appear.

In the golf swing there are many compensations for lack of proper mechanics. If you can’t make a 90 degree shoulder turn on the back-swing, you’ll do whatever it takes to feel like you are making a full turn.

A good example of this would be to rotate your hips beyond the desired 45 degrees to enable your body to make a full back-swing. What this does is rob you of power. You have no torque built up in your core to unleash into the ball at impact.

The same thing with a golf slice.

A golf slice is nothing more than the result of your upper body going ahead of your lower body. That creates what they call “an over-the-top” motion. This results in the club-face cutting the ball making a side-spin. That is what we know as the banana ball.

Your first inclination would be to go get golf lessons to fix your slice. If that does not work, then you get a training aid. If that doesn’t work either, you might go and get an offset driver to help you correct your slice issue.

Is that your case?

The real solution! Forget about your lessons. Stop buying training aids. And also maintain your normal driver in your bag.

You must work your rotational ability. It is that simple. The moment you are able to separate your upper and lower body, you will see your golf slice improve greatly.

Does it make sense to you?

Along with fixing your golf slice, you’ll add up to 30 yards to your drives. You will get more roll when the ball lands from a draw ball flight. A golf slice is a weak shot that does not penetrate the air for maximum distance.

The Secret Training Drill

7:01 am May 30, 2009

So, how hard should you hit the ball to get it into the cup?

A ball landing one or two feet shy of the hole isn’t considered in.

Therefore, the first step in putting is to hit the ball with just enough
force. Remember: just enough.

This way, if the ball misses the hole, it will still be located fairly
close to the hole & you won’t have much difficulty making the next
putt, given that the ball will still be close.

So, how do you determine how hard to hit the ball?

It’s fairly easy. Go to a practice green & try putts from different
distances until you start to get a better grasp on how hard to hit it
from various lengths.

Practice first from 8 feet, 20 feet, and then from 40 feet. Hit the ball
from different angles around the hole to see how the different
lengths of putts feel.

With sufficient practice, your mind will start to develop a connection
between the exact amount of force that you need to swing & the
right force needed to land the ball in the hole.
