Question

How do I stop slicing with my irons?

Answer 1

By squaring your clubface at impact.  You're slicing your shots because your clubface is open at impact.  Square the clubface at impact.  Transfer your weight from your right side to your left side.

Answer 2

You need to practice keeping the club face square at impact.  (Assuming you are right handed) move your left hand clockwise just a little bit when gripping the club.  Also try moving the ball back in your stance.

Answer 3

move the ball back in your stance NOT TOO DRASTIC, sometimes an inch helps, and make sure your thumbs align straight down the shaft (make sure your lower hands' thumb is securely overlaying the opposite hands' thumb ... try different combinations with weight too, its possible you're shifting your weight too soon and that causes you to drop your shoulder. take easier swings but keep your weight over your FRONT foot

Answer 4

I used to slice until I got new irons. I got them second hand and wasn't looking for anything in particular but I've since found out that they're offset and the shaft is 2-3° more upright than usual. This is designed for taller than average golfers(which I'm not) but it turns out this can help stop a slice. But of course, it's also important to fix your grip and stance.

Answer 6

Most slices are caused by coming over the top. If you are Rightt handed try keeping your righ elbow close to your body. also strengthen your grip by rotating you right hand counter clockwise a little at a time

Answer 7

Stop using them, use the wedge until the mid shot is second nature.

Answer 8

Your slicing means that your hands are getting to the ball before your arms. It could also be that you have the ball too far forward in your stance.

You should either move the ball a touch further back or make sure that your hands are even with your ball, maybe a touch behind.
