Golf Slicing Is A Problem That Can Be Cured

Even if you are a superhero, golf slicing can be a problem to you. It is to Tiger Woods now and again, and he is regarded by many as superhero. How often have you seen Tiger drive his ball way out left into that bunch of trees with his name? If you say ‘never’ you don’t watch golf.

All professional golfers have their problems from time to time. Their advantage is that they know where they went wrong and can fix it on the next shot. Do you know the mechanics of the shot that caused you to hit that ball 40 yards into the other fairway? Or miss your 170 yard iron into the green by slicing it into the trap?

What Causes a Slice?

What happens when you slice is that the ball spins when you hit it. It doesn’t matter what causes you to spin it; that is another matter. A slice is caused by a spin in an anticlockwise direction that causes the ball to drift right due to the different pressures on either side of it cause by the spin. If you drive across the ball, with a straight club face, it will spin. If drive straight, but lag the club head behind your drive so that it strikes the ball at an angle, it will also spin.

The spin will send the ball out right for a right handed player and left for a left handed player. In the first case, if the swing is across the ball, the ball will start off slightly left then swing out right. In the second case, if the club head is not straight at the time of strike, the ball will shoot out straight for a while then start to go out right. The distance of the slice is about seven to eight yards for every degree off centre every two hundred yards.

A Golf Slice is a Common Problem

It’s a common problem, but it helps if you understand the cause. The way to resolve it, then, is to drive straight and to keep the club head straight when you hit the ball. So how do you do that? If your problem is keeping the club straight, the cure is to strengthen your grip by holding the club farther to the left, or more anticlockwise. This should bring the club head round to where it should be at the moment of strike.

If your problem is your swing, you could alter your stance to straighten your swing, but your best advice is to refer to a professional instructor. If you golf slicing continues, even after changing your grip, professional golf instruction will be the most effective way for you to resolve your problem.
