A weak left-hand grip is by far the most common cause of a slice. Shifting one or both your hands round by 4-5º can instantly fix your slice. How you hold the golf club dictates where the club face points relative to your entire golf swing. The following sections gives you a simple guide to improve your club face and fix your slice for good! Begin with your golf grip Engrain these images in your mind – this is the change you need to make to fix your slicing. If you glance between to two images there isn’t much difference at all. The left-hand image is what you need to create to completely remove your slice. To demonstrate, the right hand image above has a club face precisely 6º open to the swing path. Six degrees may sound like a large value, but it isn’t. If your club face is 3º open to your swing path at impact you’ll have a solid fade, and if you reach 6º open or more you’ll be slicing your way round the golf course every time you play. This small misunderstanding is the reason why so many golfers struggle to fix their slice, they focus on changing their swing path, not fixing their club face angle. The reason your golf ball slices is because your club face is open to your swing path through impact – a small but very important detail. Many golfers incorrectly assume this side spin is caused by an out-to-in swing path (cutting across the ball) but this is incorrect. What causes a slice?Ī slice is caused when side-spin is imparted on your golf ball, causing the ball to curve during its flight. The cause of the slicing ball flight is the same for both shots above. However, you may also suffer from a push slice (blue line above) which starts right of your target and curves further right. A classic slice starts left of the target and travels too far right (red line above). The blue line shows the ball flight for a push slice.Ī slice is a shot that curves left to right through the air (for a right handed player). The red line shows the ball flight for a classic slice.
