Many new golfers have the thought of fixing their slice. Statistics have shown that more than 80% of all new golfers have a slice problem. Now, you can find so many training aids and drills to correct the golf slice that I can’t even count them.
If you hit a golf slice, have you taken lessons; bought any training aids, and done several drills only to still hit a slice? What a frustrating situation! Do you realize what’s causing your golf slice?
A golf slice is caused by the club-face coming across the ball from outside the target line, creating side-spin on the ball. Upon first thought, this 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 must know that what commands your ability to swing the club with adequacy is your body. So, if you have a physical disability or limitation, you are to have mechanical issues with your swing and the faults will show.
If you have a lack of correct mechanics in your body, this will instantly mess your game. Here’s why. If you are not capable of making a turn of 90 degree, you will immediately do whatever it takes to complete a turn or at least feel like you are making one.
Looking for a good example of this case would be to turn your hips beyond the 45 degrees that gives you access to make a full back-swing. What this does is that it robs you of capability. You have absolutely no torque in you to release into the ball at impact.
It is completely the same issue with a golf slice
A golf slice is just the result of your upper body going before your lower body. This creates an over-the-top move, which turns into the club-face biting the ball creating a side-spin. That is how the banana ball shows up.
Your number one option might be to take a class to fix it. Then, if that is of no help at all, you buy a training aid. If you see zero improvement, then you purchase an offset driver to help to fix your golf slice.
Is that your case?
The real solution! Forget about your lessons. Stop buying training aids. And also maintain your normal driver in your bag.
You must work your rotational ability. It is that simple. The moment you are able to separate your upper and lower body, you will see your golf slice improve greatly.
Doesn’t that make sense?
By fixing your golf slice, you will add 30 yards to your drives. You will get more roll when your ball lands from a draw flight. A golf slice is no more than a weak shot that doesn’t achieve maximum distance.
