This week’s TeeTime Golf Pass Tip of the Week, brought to you by QuickFixGolf.com, is a game-changer for slicers. Did you know that most golfers struggle with slicing the ball? It’s time to join the elite few who can work the ball the other way and hit straighter, more powerful shots.
The Two Keys to Fixing Your Slice
To fix a slice, you need to address two major issues: clubface alignment and swing path. Here’s how:
- Fix Your Grip for Clubface Control
Start by ensuring your lead hand is properly positioned on the club. When you look down at your grip, you should see at least three knuckles on your lead hand. This grip adjustment helps close the clubface, reducing the likelihood of an open face at impact. - Correct Your Swing Path
Most slicers swing the club in a looping motion—around, up, and over. To eliminate this faulty path, you need to reprogram your swing to follow a proper circular motion.
The Drill to Cure Your Slice
Follow these steps to build muscle memory for a better swing path:
- Start With a Forward Motion
Instead of taking the club straight back, push it forward slightly, then swing it back in a circular motion. This helps you feel the proper plane for the club to follow. - Add a Turn and Release
After initiating the circular motion, incorporate a turn of your body and a release of your hands. Here’s the sequence:- Push the club forward.
- Swing it back in a circular motion.
- Turn your body and let your hands release naturally through impact.
- Build Towards a Full Swing
Once you’ve practiced the drill a few times, progress by starting the club higher on the backswing. Combine the proper turn and release until your motion flows into a full swing.
The Road to Better Golf
As Hank Haney says, “There’s no slicing on the road to good golf.” By focusing on your grip and reworking your swing path, you can finally ditch the slice and take your game to the next level.
