The slice shot is probably one of the most common shots faced by golfers within their careers. I'm sure, at some point in their career, most golfers have encountered a slice. But sometimes, a slice can be slightly misdiagnosed and, therefore, the corrections and the faults can be a bit misdiagnosed.

Some people consider that a fade is a push or slice, but a fade is a shot that moves left to right for right-handed golfer, but a fade would land on the target and be a good shot. So if you are moving the ball from left to right, but you're happy with the result, it lands on the green, it lands on the fairway, you can class it as a fade. Anything else that moves from left to right and finishes off the target line is a bad shot and you're frustrated with it, that's going to be some form of a slice.

Now a true slice would actually start left, down the left-hand side of the target line, left of the fairway for the right-handed golfer, and finish offline to the right-hand side. Then you have a straight slice where you start straight and then slices your way, and then a push slice that starts right and goes further right, all for the right-handed golfer.

So a slice is left to right, straight slice starts straight, finishes right, and a push slice starts right, finishes further right. But a slice is generally determined by a bad shot moving left to right. A fade is a good shot moving left to right, a shot that lands on the target or on the fairway.

So if we look at this next section now of these drills, these are all going to be things determining how you're slicing the ball, more importantly, drills that you can use to correct the slice
