How To Stop Slicing, 3 Good Slice Fix Golf Tips (Video) - by Dean Butler

I wonder how many people looking at this video actually sliced the ball. Well I'm sure most of you do, hence you just clicked into this golfing tip, so what is a slice? Well, I'm sure you know what one is. The right hand the ball starts, the left the target and snakes away to the right-hand side. If your [Indiscernible] [0:00:25] shot looses a lot of distance, not a typically what a slice is. So we’re going to talk about three good fixes to try and put this much alright. So the first one is most probably in the grip, this is the biggest because I come across is when people grip the club and they grip it too weak. Now weak, it doesn’t mean that you're not gripping the club tight enough; it means that the left hand is being put on, so it's actually under the club, so it's under, and the 'V' here is going towards his left shoulder. What happens then, it creates too much space for the right hand to come over the top. Just the right hand comes over the top, the shoulder comes forward, so you look from behind, here's my left hand under you'll notice this shoulder is not going to vanish as I put my right hand on.

Now my shoulders are open, that’s not going to make me swing the club, outside to in, very weak position, so you can see that left hand being too far under, is actually creating a very weak position, opens the shoulders and makes me swing out to win. So how do we get rid of that? Club down, put your hand on and wrap your left hand over, so that the groove between the thumb and the forefinger is going between the chin and the right shoulder. This is the side that you'll always want to get the V-arm. This is a slicing side okay, try and keep it in this area here, well, you should put that left hand on this, put that right hand on, in to the fingers and just sit the right hand on the top. Now if you've not got a mirror in front of you, you think I can't quite see what I'm looking at, you can always from here just lift the club up in front of you. From here I can see my 'V' going in this area and I can see the 'V' on my right hand between my thumb and my forefinger going the same area. There's a very simple way of just checking, just lifting the club up, not lifting it up at an angle, and that is a nice way of getting the hands in to the correct position. And from that just let the bad grip created a bad shoulder position, the good grip will actually get our shoulders in a much more neutral position, okay, for the shoulder is slightly forward, so there, so that's the first thing. The second thing we want to talk about is all about the forearm rotation. A lot of golfers when they come in to hit the golf ball tend to come in and their arms tend to be in to this position here, where they've not really released the club for the ball. Their arms are basically coming with the right arm underneath and that tends to keep the club face very, very much so. It's very rare that you get that action and see that ball go middle to left. It's always going to tend to on the right hand side. So again, let's talk about the forearms – this is a take two about the forearm, what should happen? When you hit the golf ball as we come back in to the hitting area, the right – as you get to hit this right forearm should be passing over the left hand, left forearm here, so if you come through, the right arm will come over releasing the club through. Now the best way of doing it is not trying on a drive because that might 10 degrees aloof. The first thing to do is pull on maybe a 79 or eight time, put that in your hand, hit maybe 20 golf balls, put yourself in to that position and just concentrate on just doing a half swing going back and coming through with that right hand coming over. And if you get it right, or get a little bit excited and overconfident say, you'll see the ball moving from right to left. So that will be a welcome change from the slice, so you'll see that and it will give you that sort of confidence and reassurance that what you're doing with the forearm rotation is correct; it’s the right movement, okay? The third one is all to do with a swing path. Now we've already sort of mentioned the swing path, but I fear out of the ball, the swing path was incorrect, the tendency would be that you'd be swinging the club outside the line and then from there, coming inside the line and by hitting across that ball you go to impart spin from left to right. So on the swing path if you want to – if you think yourself well, that’s me – that’s me to seal that motor golf and tend to be out to win. Then a good exercise would be to – well I've got this stick here, is to put a line of Tee Pegs you know, put a line of golf balls in there. I just think if you were going to get a line of golf posts get a long enough stick to maybe say about eight. 12 inches, and you will just swing the club out to win that you would actually catch the golf balls or those Tee Pegs on your back swing, or if you didn’t you most probably catch them on their way down, and from that you can actually start to roll the swing in a different shape, a different direction, by bringing the club more inside which is the perfect swing path. So if you do slice the ball, there are three different areas that we've tackled there, there're a lot of more things that could actually go wrong. If you put those three things into practice and you do put a bit of timing and you find yourself still struggling then again go and see your pro, because he'll be able to identify what the problem is almost immediately and then you'll get the results you're looking for. 2013-12-11
