Golf slice?

Question

I tend to slice everything with my driver and I don't know how to fix it. If anyone knows, thanks in advance.

I'm also golfing tomorrow and want to fix it if possible, so any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

If the problem is only happening with your driver, I would say that you're trying to swing to fast. A common problem with the driver - golfers try to put everything they have into their drives and throw their timing and rhythm off. When your body accelerates faster than your arms your swing plane tends to come from the outside as well as not giving the clubhead time to square up when it contacts the ball.

This is what's called "getting stuck".

An easy fix is to try and swing at 70% of what you normally do. You'll be surprised at how far you can hit the ball this way.

See if this helps.

Answer 2

Start your dn swing with your left hip. If the ball starts left and cuts back right your coming over the top or leading with your shoulders, if the ball starts right and gets worse as it goes your club face is open probably sliding  to the left in stead of rotating hips. Let your body follow the shot. Good luck.

Answer 3

It won't help by tomorrow.  You need to have a square clubface at impact.  Relax your grip and end your swing like you started it.  Keep your right elbow close to your body(left if you're left handed.)  For tomorrow, hit a fairway wood.

Answer 4

i know just  how you feel ihad a slice for around a year. They just get so annoying.

some drills you can do is swing your club like a baseball bat. around your body and work yourself down to the ground.

also put two clubs down on the ground paralell to the ground about 20 cm apart put you ball between the two clubs and practice hitting without touching the clubs!

hope this helps

Answer 5

I only swing 70%. As in I only take my club head back 70% of the way. I stop my swing right before i would usually break my wrist at the top of my swing. I'm not sure why it helps but when i swing like that i'm actually pretty straight. And like the guy before me said I can still hit the ball pretty far.
