Question

I can hit my irons decent but when it comes to the woods and driver, I slice them, How can i remedy this?

Answer 1

make sure you are releasing your hands on your down swing. I am 13 and had the same problem but then my coach told me to release my hands and it worked.

Answer 2

the slice has alot to do with little errors in your approach. there is hundreds of things that could cause this.

-swinging too hard

-not locking your wrist

-standing up or back movement during approach.

-club length.

keeping your eye on the ball and keeping your posture and wrists locked during approach has alot to do with the overall outcome. also, the woods and drivers are meant to hit it far without giving alot of power in your swing, so if you are going out there and trying to kill it, you need to start off swinging slow and making good contact, then add speed later.

sorry if i wasn't any help.

good luck :)

Answer 3

A slice is caused by an out-to-in swing path and an open club face through impact.

If you are hiting your irons sweet it sounds like you might be trying to hit the woods that lettle bit harder.  Don't.  Use the same swing you do for the irons.  The club manufacturer has done everything you need to hit the woods further by giving you a longer shaft and the correct loft.  trust them they know what they are doing.

Answer 4

Make your grip "stronger" so you see the first 2 knuckles on your left hand with your left hand in the center of your right palm.  This will make your wrist role over on impact and hopefully start to remedy the slice.

Answer 6

Try having the same thinking process for the woods and driver like you have with the irons. You might be having not so confident thoughts which will affect the way you hit the ball. Try to do the same swing for all clubs. Good Luck.

Have a good one...
