The definition of a slice for right handed golfers is a ball that curves from left to right.
And the cause, to put it simply, it’s an open club face at impact.
There is usually an outside to inside swing path as well.
Here’s what I do to fix a players slice.
First thing is to get them to close the club at impact. This is the easy part. I do this by having them hit into an impact bag.
They must hit into it with the toe of the club first. Loose grip is a must. If you hold tight, your hands can’t turn or roll the club closed. After a few tries, I have them hit some balls. This works a majority of the time. They start hitting balls that curve from right to left.
Second, we work on the swing path. This is sometimes harder to fix. I try to get them to swing out along the target line and finish with their weight on their left side. If their club is closing and they swing out to the target, a powerful drawing ball flight is produced.
There are many reasons people slice and many remedies to fix them. I hope this will help you find the left side of the course and keep you from going to the right again.
Good luck!
