How To Cure Golf Slice Shots And Lower Your Handicap

The slice shot in golf is not pretty and usually ends up in short and crooked results that do not help you to shoot lower scores.  There are many swing flaws that can lead to a slice shot so let us take a look at each one and how you can solve this problem and become more consistent.  The main cause of a slice shot is the outside to in swing path that puts slice spin on the golf ball. The first thing to check is your club face at address to make sure that it is square. If your club face is open at address then this can contribute to the slice shot. 

Do not come out of the swing early:

Getting out of the swing too early can also lead to poor shots so make sure to keep your head down and let it only come up with the right shoulder as you complete the follow through. Make sure also that your head is behind the ball at impact so focus on a spot at the back of the ball during the swing until you complete the follow through. Balance is another key component to maintaining a good golf swing and avoiding slice shots. Casting the club is another thing that can cause a slice shot since it promotes an outside to in swing path. Usually getting the dominant hand too involved in the swing can cause this so for right handed players make sure to keep the right hand passive through the swing for best results.

Focus on pulling the club with the left hand through the hitting zone as this will encourage an inside to out swing path that will help to promote straighter shots. Also make sure to swing within yourself, it is fine to swing hard as long as you know you can maintain good balance and control. There are various training aids available to help to cure the slice shot so look into trying some of them especially the ones that promote an inside to out swing path.
