Golf Slice, Fix Your Golf Slice Quick and Easy.

How to fix a golf slice is definitely a thought on a large number of amateur

golfers' minds. Reports reveals over 80% of all amateur golfers slice the ball.

Presently there have been more training aids, drills and tips to fix the golf

slice that I can't even begin to count.

If you hit a golf slice, have you considered instruction; decided to buy any

training aids, and done several drills only to always hit a slice? What a

irritating situation! Do you fully grasp what's producing your golf slice?

A golf slice is caused by the clubface coming across the ball from outside the

target line, creating side-spin on the ball. Upon first thought,a golf slice may

seem like a mechanical issue. And it is…but if you dig a little deeper, you'll

find it's a 'physical' issue.

You see…your body dictates your ability to swing the club efficiently. If your

body has 'physical limitations', your swing will not be mechanically sound and

swing errors will develop.

In the golf swing there are several compensations for lack of proper mechanics.

If you simpley can't make a 90 degree shoulder turn on the backswing, you'll do

whatever it takes to feel like you are making a full turn.

A good example of this would be to rotate your hips beyond the desired 45

degrees to enable your body to make a full backswing. What this does is rob you

of power. You have no torque built up in your core to unleash into the ball at

impact.

The same thing with a golf slice.

A golf slice is caused by the upper body getting ahead of the lower body,

generating an "over-the-top" move, which in turn leads to your clubface slashing

across the ball and creating side-spin.

Your first inclination will probably be to take a lesson to fix this. If that

doesn't work, you might buy a training aid. If that doesn't work you'll buy an

"offset" driver to help eliminate your golf slice.

Does this sound familiar?

Now the best answer! Take a break on your classes. Don't spend money on anymore

training aids. And keep your normal driver in your bag.

You'll want to work on your core rotation flexibility to be able to initiate the

downswing with your lower body first, to avoid the upper body getting ahead of

it. It's that simple. The minute you are able to separate the upper and lower

body upon initial move down…you'll note that golf slice improve significantly.

At this point doesn't that make sense?

Along with repairing your golf slice, you are going to add up to 30 yards to

your drives. You will get more roll when the ball lands from a draw ball flight.

A golf slice is a weak shot that does not penetrate the air for maximum

distance.
