Got Slice?

KarenGolf Fitness, Misc

Slicing the ball is one of the most frustrating shots in golf. Slice spins moves the ball from left to right, like the shape of a banana. Slice spin makes the ball go higher and takes distance off the ball. The lower lofted the clubs, like a driver, exaggerates the fault . Here is a tip to help you get out of slicing the ball that you can do indoors or on the course.

Off-Course Exercise

Hold a club so that the clubhead is about waist height. Make a few practice swings with the club parallel to the ground. This exercise will help round out your swing and make your downswing come more from the inside of the target line. Slicer’s swing the opposite way. They come over-the-top or swing down from outside of the target line and cut across the ball causing the spin slice.



On-Course Exercise-

The next time you find yourself waiting to tee off, go over to the edge of the tee box where the teeing ground is above your feet. Making a few swings standing on the side of the tee box and having the club above your feet will help you feel what it’s like to swing from inside the target line instead of from the outside of the target line.

When it’s time to actually tee off, try to feel and make that same swing shape you just practiced. Give it a try. It’s a quick fix, but it should help your swing.
