Golf Slice Tip

If you were able to have one golf slice tip what you like it to tell you? Statistics show that an average 18 handicap golfer hits only 5 fairways in a round. Just think of how your score could be improved if you hit the fairway every time. Every slice causes lost shots. Every sliced shot cured can save these lost shots.

So what golf slice tip would you like if could just have the one. To come up with the most valuable tip possible we have to determine how easy it would be cure a slice with just one golf slice tip, and decide if knowledge of the effect of the slice would be more useful than guessing at a cure.

A Golf Slice can be Quantified

The effect of a slice can easily be calculated, and on average if the club face is only one degree off square at the time of impact, the ball will slice 7 yards every 200 yard drive. So only 3 degrees off true slices your ball a massive 21 yards from target. You're not going to hit many fairways.

How about a golf slice tip that would lessen the effect of the slice until you got it cured, perhaps after some professional help, or by filming your swing and drive and identifying exactly where you were going wrong. Yes, that's it. That's what it will be.

The Single Golf Slice Tip

Where do you think the professionals aim if they feel they have a slight slice or fade on the ball? Certainly not straight down the middle. If they think they are fading say, 21 yards in 200, they will aim down the left hand side of the fairway, perhaps even a few yards towards the rough. When the ball fades, or in your case slices, it will come back into the fairway and if the fairway is, say, 30 yards wide, it will land pretty much central.

Make Allowance for Your Failing

So that's the golf slice tip if only one was allowed. Not a guess at what was causing your slice, but a tip how to use your knowledge of your slice to land the ball where you want it. If you are slicing x yards every 200 then aim for a point about x yards left of center of the fairway and drive 200 yards. Your ball should land smack in the middle. It is a valid golf slice tip: not how to cure the slice but a tip on how to make allowance for it till that slice has been cured.
