Best Golf Tips Online To Help You Cur your Slice

1. If you want to eliminate your slice you must develop a wide and powerful backswing. You have to keep your left arm straight when you take your golf club backwards and you must not keep your left arm straight in your follow-through.

If kept straight, your left arm can lead to a heavy slice. This is due to your left arm hindering your right arm’s natural rotation. What adjustment do you make to cure your slice?

Let your left arm bend during your follow-through. Swing the club with your left hand only several times then switch to  a normal full swing.

2. Something else that causes a slice is you letting your club get too far behind you on your backswing. This makes you get outside your target line on your downswing. Without a club, try swinging your left arm, mimicking a full swing and loosen up your elbow…it has to bend freely in order for you to get rid of your slice!

Your arm has to cross your chest and meet up with your right shoulder. On the downswing, try replicating that motion exactly, only backwards.

3. When it comes down to it a slice is just a lack of squaring the club with the ball. So you need a good finish to square the club with the ball correctly. Get a hold of your eight iron and set up a ball.

Swing your eight iron back to waist height, cock the club up, and then pull towards your left. The distance the golf ball will travel should only be about 50 yards. Always ensure your belt buckle and chest face towards your intended target.

Doing this will help ensure that your opening up your club face through your downswing and should create much better contact with the golf ball and your club face.
