How do you correct a golf slice?

turn the head of your club to the left before you swing your club is to open make the tip of the club look like its almost pointing left before you swing when you line it up with the ball and youll shoot a straight ball down the line

The way I corrected mine was to change the plane of my swing from an up-and-down swing to one that wraps around my body more. That way, I have a natural open-to-closed motion as my clubhead passes through the area of contact. Be aware, though, that an extreme version of this swing will lead to "power-draws" and hooks, which may not be any better than your current slice.

I am also making a concerted effort to rotate my wrists through the contact area. I used to "hold" them in a fixed position through contact, which was incorrect, because I began "holding" them before I had closed the clubface. Therefore, I held the clubface in an open position through contact and put some serious left to right spin on the ball.

One other area that might be causing problems is your hips. I have found that when I power my hips through to try to crush a ball, my arms and hands lag behind and do not have time to catch up to my hips before the clubface reaches the impact zone. On the other hand, when my hips are under-involved in the swing, my upper body gets ahead of my lower body, causing a draw or a hook. Try to get your entire body in sync.

Finally, I am swinging with more fluidity and concentrating on making a full swing rather than trying to hit the ball hard. I have found that the harder I try to hit a long, straight ball, the more likely I am to hit a crappy, short, crooked shot. But, when I relax and make a good, full, relaxed swing, my ball flies high, straight and long.

I would recommend putting in the time to actually fix your swing, rather than simply turning the clubface and getting an okay ball flight with a bad swing. While that technique may work in the short-term, it will cause a lot of problems over an extended period of time.

Hit 'em well!

Try closing the face just a little. Grip the club the same just grip it slightly over the top. This will close the face.

I've always had a problem with slicing. Many people I play with do to. A discussion site I frequent recently started a conversation about this very problem. It's a good group of people. We welcome more golf lovers to join in our discussions.
