Tips for Golf Swing Slice

One of the fastest way to shave strokes off your golf game is by correcting your golf swing slice. Slicing the golf ball is one of the most common errors on golf. Many players get frustrated and stay frustrated for years because of their golf swing slice. But if you ever hope to improve, you must addres your golf slice first and then practice correctly.

Following are some tips that will help you with your golf swing slice. These are basic and simple instructions, the key is to practice, and practice some more.

Proper Golf Stance: A correct and proper golf stance is needed to help you improving your golf swing slice, and to stop slicing the ball. A proper golf stance should be about as wide as your shoulders. Point your right foot straight ahead and point your left foot slightly to the left. Keep your elbows as natural as possible to maintain a proper golf stance. Minor adjustments in your stance will have lasting and wide improvements in your game.

Proper Golf Club Grip: Another common way of correcting a golf swing slice is adjusting your hands for a proper golf club grip. Grip the golf club with your left hand and put your thumb along the shaft. The line between your thumb and index finger should be pointing toward your right eye. Most right handed golfers make the mistake of gripping the club too tightly and causing the ball to hook left. A weak grip causes the ball to slice to the right.

The best way of correcting a golf swing slice caused by your grip is roll your hands back so that your non dominant back hand faces the target and your dominant back hand faces the opposite direction.

Practice the proper golf club grip at the driving range to determine if this is what's causing you to slice the ball. Practice with the proper technique is the only way to help with your golf swing slice.
