How to Avoid Slice in Your Swing
- Understanding the Slice: A slice for right-handed golfers is a shot that curves from left to right due to an open clubface at impact.
-
Common Causes:
- Swing Path: The most common cause of a slice is an over-the-top swing motion, which results in a steep downswing and erratic shots.
- Bad Alignment: Incorrect alignment can exacerbate the problem. Aiming farther left often leads to an even bigger slice.
- Weak Grip: A weak grip, especially in the left hand for right-handed players, can lead to an over-the-top move and poor weight transfer, resulting in a slice.
- Active Upper Body: Initiating the downswing with the upper body instead of the hips can cause an open clubface and pull slices.
