Answer 3

There are so many causes of a slice that there's no "quick fix" and no one can tell you for sure unless they know a little somethin and are looking at your swing.  Some cures for this common problem -

Look at your divots - they should  be going in the direction of your target, or slightly inside out.  Focus on an inside-out swing.

Strengthen your grip - If you're right handed, rotate your grip to the right (the direction of the slice).  Make sure you're not just turning the club, release your grip, move your hands, then grip again.  Make your same swing and this change will close your clubface at contact.  Adjust your grip according to how much change was made to your ballflight.

Keep your right elbow tucked in during your backswing.  Letting your elbow flail out during a backswing can create a baseball swing effect and will cause an outside-in swing that will cause a slice.

Hope this helps and goodluck!

Answer 5

I used 2 have 1 on EVERY drive.....now its every 2nd or 3rd lol. Heres what Im working on and it has definitely helped me. First, I just naturally never sliced as often or as severe with a 3 wood or hybrid. So i use those to tee off with as often as I can. Second I moved the ball up in my stance.....so instead of being on the INSIDE of my lead foot it was even with or OUTSIDE my lead foot. Third, I focus and make sure to have a straight take away from the ball. To do this place a leaf or tee 7-8 inches directly beind ur teed up ball. Make sure your driver goes straight back and passes over this leaf or tee or whatever mark. Fourth, I moved slightly more away from the ball. The other 3 tips Ive heard other places but this 1 was my own creation. I figured I couldnt get around the ball to slice it as easy if I was further away. So I hope this helps you to some extent. Of course some other tips would be get an offset or draw driver. Also just aim more to the side and account for the slice.

Good luck

Answer 6

I am a right hander who has big problems with a slice.  98 percent of the time I am "punching" at the ball and not following through all the way with my swing.  This always sends the ball right.

At the range I pretend like I am a baseball player trying to hit a home run and I really concentrate on coming all the way through with my follow through.

When I am sending it right on the course I make my swing thought "send the ball left."  This usualy exadurates my follow throught and when I am actually able to send the ball left it is much easier for me to Christmas Tree the ball straight.

It is much easier to iron out a consistant ball flight pattern with your irons with your wedge.  Don't get furstrated with your driver and contiune to hit bad shots.  Pick up your nine iron and hit it until you can make the ball fly dead ahead or work the ball right to left (if you are more skilled).

When you can do that hit a few shots with your driver again.

I hope this helps, GOOOOD luck.

Answer 7

Yes.

90% of slices are related to your grip.  Find a picture of a good, "strong" grip, and copy it!

If your left hand doesn't look like the one on the picture I have referred below, you will hit a fade or slice.

Answer 8

i get lessons from bob ford (if you dont know, he is the club pro at Oakmont Country Club) and when i hit slices, it was always my feet. I noticed that on my backswing that my foot would slip and cause my rotation to get messed up. I dont know if that is your problem but thats wat i gotta tell ya.

Answer 10

i had a slice for years.  My club pro showed me a trick to stop it.  It takes some practice and might feel strange at first but it works.  Assuming you are right handed, at address hold the club with only your left hand.  Now turn it clockwise about an inch or inch and a half, then grip with your right hand.  Be sure to follow through and this will help.
