| golfers at my golf school who do, and it could be | | | | swing and down swing by providing your arms and |
| argued that the golf slice is the Achilles heel of the | | | | hands with their direction. You want your right |
| average golfer. I don't think there is anything worse | | | | shoulder to be tilted a lot lower than your left so |
| than standing over a ball knowing that your golf ball | | | | your shoulders can turn on a flatter arc on the back |
| will curve off to right field with the vengeance of a | | | | swing. Your shoulders and feet ideally will be pointing |
| swarm of angry hornets. | | | | to the right of your target in the address position. |
| I bet that you sometimes wish that there was | | | | This will help you to turn a little more on the back |
| anti-slicing golf swing software that you could install | | | | swing and also slow down their acceleration |
| that was guaranteed to straighten the worst golf | | | | (particularly the right shoulder) in the down swing so |
| slice you could hit? Well, I have not invented the golf | | | | your arms and hands can catch up to the shoulders a |
| swing software yet, but I do have a simple | | | | little earlier. |
| anti-slicing golf swing system that will straighten the | | | | The correct golf grip to fix golf slice shots |
| most vicious slice shot you have. | | | | When you place your hands on the golf grip you |
| In this article I will explain to you step by step | | | | need to place them more clockwise on the grip. The |
| procedure that you need to fix golf slice shots fast, | | | | thumb of your left hand should be placed on the side |
| which will lead to lot more golf confidence and lower | | | | of the handle at about 2 o'clock so that the back of |
| golf scores. But first, I need to explain a couple of | | | | your hand is facing upwards towards the sky, not |
| simple to understand concepts that will get us off on | | | | towards the target. When your place your right hand |
| the right foot. | | | | on the golf grip fit your right hand over your left |
| Concept 1 - There are no straight lines in a golf swing | | | | hand thumb and make sure that it is predominantly |
| I have read in golf instruction books where they | | | | held in the lower joints of the fingers of the right |
| suggested that you should move the golf club in a | | | | hand. |
| straight line towards the target for an extended | | | | The right hand should be aligned on the grip so that if |
| period after the golf ball is struck. If you have read | | | | you opened the hand completely it would be facing |
| this, or believe this, then you need to rethink this | | | | directly towards the target. It is not advisable to |
| one. If you swing the golf club towards the target | | | | interlock your right and left hand grip, just place both |
| after your golf ball has departed from the club face | | | | hands comfortably together with the feeling that the |
| you will more than likely hit the ground behind the ball, | | | | bottom of the right hand is a long way from the top |
| greatly reduce the distance of your shot, and hit | | | | of the grip. Overlapping or interlocking the fingers of |
| your shots with a big slice. | | | | the grip reduces rotational functionality of the wrists |
| The golf club moves in an arc, and your job is to | | | | which will make it more difficult to close the club face |
| make sure that it remains so. Any attempt to | | | | through the impact zone. |
| straighten the golf club heads course leads to | | | | The Swing path and club face angle to fix golf slice |
| disaster. Golf clubs don't behave like crochet mallets, | | | | shots |
| where the objective is to swing it back and forward | | | | Finally the path of your arms and hands must travel |
| in a straight line. | | | | through the ball on the correct path in the back |
| Concept 2 - Keep your head still as you hit your shot | | | | swing and down swing. When you stand over the ball |
| Think about it, how difficult do you think it is to keep | | | | in the address position, you can imagine splitting your |
| your head still when your shoulders are rotating | | | | golf ball into quarters, the inside quarter as you look |
| around your spine at about thirty miles per hour and | | | | at it (between 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock) is the quarter |
| your arms are moving at about fifty miles per hour? | | | | your strike with the club head on the down swing. |
| Your head is designed to rotate on top of your spine | | | | The force of your arm swing should move your golf |
| easily and frequently so you should allow it to move | | | | swing through this location towards the top left |
| in harmony with your shoulders and arms. | | | | quarter. |
| I know what you're probably thinking that you have | | | | Now, not more than twelve inches through this top |
| been told more than once to keep your head down, | | | | left quadrant your club face will have roll closed |
| and still, so you can hit a good golf shot. How's that | | | | enough that the toe of your golf club is pointing |
| going for you? I have seen many golfers trying to | | | | directly down your target line towards your target. |
| keep their head down and hit the worst golf slices or | | | | Your right arm will be straight at the same time and |
| bad golf shots that you could imagine. Let your head | | | | the combination of the swing path and closed club |
| rotate freely with your shoulders and arms and this | | | | face angle will strike the golf ball in such a way the |
| will reduce the excessive tension in your shoulders | | | | resultant ball flight will be a lot straighter. |
| and neck that leads to slicing swings, and a high | | | | These three steps are the key to fixing your golf |
| probability of an injury to your neck, shoulders or | | | | slice shots fast. By setting your right shoulder angles |
| back. | | | | down and behind correctly, you will guide the path of |
| The correct right shoulder angle to fix golf slice shots | | | | your arms through the golf ball on the correct path |
| Ok, now we are going to do just three things that | | | | and trajectory. |
| will reduce your slice shot curvature by at least half. | | | | Placing your hands on the grip correctly will give you |
| The first is to make sure that in the address position | | | | the rotational control you need to facilitate the |
| your right shoulder is lower and behind your left | | | | closing of the toe of your club face so that it is |
| shoulder. | | | | pointing towards the target which I guarantee will cut |
| What do I mean by lower and behind? | | | | your slice spin in half. |
