Andrew Rice, his video recorded and his tweet of his video shared, received a response. For what, the commenter wroteis there so much content on how to cure a slice.

To what Rice said:

“Hmm! I wonder why…?

Indeed. Slice fix is ​​a popular topic because slice is a commonly encountered error. That said, Rice, a GOLF teacher Top 100think it has three moves to decisively straighten the ball flight from right to left (or left to right), and you can visualize them on the video below. We’ll review them when you’re done watching.

1. Focus on the clubface

Most golfers who slice the ball have an open clubface throughout their swing, not just at impact.

The club face has the most influence on the curve of the ball, so it is important to square it as early as possible in your swing. Remember that the ball will deflect where the club face is aiming, so if the face is open, the contact is not square, resulting in the ball being sliced.

2. Getting started

To avoid slicing the golf ball, your grip must be perfect. This means that the club in your lead hand is correctly held in the fingers and not the palm. For golfers with holes in their glove, this means you are not gripping the club correctly.

Many golfers who slice tend to place their thumb directly in the middle of the grip. Instead, place the lead thumb just off center to the right if you’re a right-handed golfer, and just to the left if you’re a left-handed golfer.

3. Postures

Posture has a lot to do with establishing good contact. This means your arms hang down with your hands below your shoulders, which will help stabilize the path of your downswing club.

Naturally, your arms swing where they hang, so having good posture will help you stay in the plane more.

4. Backswing Depth

You absolutely must allow the club to move around your back on your turn. Depth directly correlates to rotating your body through your back and hips, rather than using just your arms.

As you twist and rotate your body, you can allow the arms to descend along your shoulder line. This correct path will help produce either a straight shot or a draw, assuming your grip and clubface are correct.

5. Liberation

To help combat this problem, I suggest using one of my favorite exercises.

Separate your hands 4 to 6 inches on the club grip and perform your normal golf swing. The club head doesn’t need to touch the ground when you do this, and you don’t even need to use a ball at first.

Try to hear a little “whoosh” on the forward swing and, as your hands are separated, this should encourage the clubface to stay square and closed.

If you’re too tight or delay this release, you won’t be able to hear the “whoosh” sound.

Once you have added a ball, bring your hands together trying to free the club face.

6. Exaggerated release

I think drills are a great way to stop yourself from slicing the golf ball – so here’s another one worth trying.

Place your ball on a low tee.

Now take a half swing with a short to mid iron and on your forward swing try to exaggerate the release of the club face by making the face look towards the ground. It should be at hip level, on the front side of your swing.

When done correctly, you should be able to achieve some hooks with this hyper-exaggerated release.

7. Be prepared to hit hooks

Having a positive attitude and trusting the process is very helpful when trying to make changes to your golf game.

So if you’ve been slicing for a long time, hitting a draw or hook will feel great because it produces much more solid contact.

Remember to be patient when making changes to your swing – nothing will be fixed overnight.

8. Downward trajectory

Beyond the clubface at impact, the second biggest influence on ball flight is downward trajectory. This is where you’ll want your arms to swing over the line of your turned shoulders.

To get a feel for this, I recommend using alignment sticks, which can help guide your swing path to get out and through the ball.

Placing things in a way that avoids this over-the-top path will help provide feedback and improvement.

9. Eliminate tension

As mentioned before, tension can greatly influence your slice. So you’ll want to try to minimize it so you have a natural release and speed.

Most club grips are tapered, meaning they are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. However, too many amateurs hold the club too tightly, mistakenly believing that it will move on them if they release their grip.

Instead of using a death grip, hold the club lightly. This will allow you to feel the weight of the club head throughout your golf swing.

10. Close your position

To help improve your ability to turn and have depth in your backswing, try closing your stance.

Take your normal setup and aim your clubface towards your target. Next, simply lower your trail foot about 2 to 6 inches, allowing your shoulders and forearms to respond as well.

This subtle movement will give you a head start on your round, helping the club come more from the inside on a correct trajectory, which will help eliminate slices.
