You Can Correct Your Golf Slice!
Golf can be a frustrating game. Today we’re going to analyze one of the most frustrating parts of the game: The golf slice. We’ll also show you how you can correct your golf slice.
What’s happening:
Golfers are slamming their clubs on the ground, uttering four-letter words and having a miserable time on the tee-box! Why? Because they are slicing the ball! If this is happening to you, you are not alone. Golf slices are a big problem for most golfers.
What is a slice?
A slice occurs when you hit a shot, and it spins off to the right. (to the left for lefties). This often occurs when the club face is open, and the path of the golf club comes from the wrong angle. This usually happens when your club is on an outside-to-inside path as the club nears the ball. If your clubface is open while on that outside-to-inside path, the slice can be extreme!
How to correct your golf slice
It’s one thing to know what is happening. How are you going to fix it?
We have a few quick tests that will help you correct your golf slice.
1. The Rope Test – when your hands are at the top of your backswing, imagine that you are holding a rope that is attached to a tree straight in front of you. Now your object is to pull the rope straight down. As you begin the downswing, you want that same straight down motion. This will force your right elbow to stay close to your body, and prevent you from going “outside-in” with your swing motion.
2. The Box test – Get along, skinny box, and lay it on the ground. You will be hitting the end of the box with your driver. Your goal is to make the box go straight in front of you. If you hit the end of the box and it goes to the right or the left, than your swing is off. This is a good way to test new improvements to your swing if you can not make it to the driving range.
3. The Tennis test – If you’ve ever tried to put topspin on a tennis ball, you know that you have to turn over the racket as you hit the ball. This same rolling of the wrists needs to happen when you hit a golf ball. As you are impacting the ball, make sure that your right hand ends up on top of your left hand. Just as you want that to happen in tennis to get topspin, your goal in striking a golf shot is to roll the hands. When you roll the hands over properly, you can be sure that you are closing the face of the club, when will severely decrease the likelihood of a slice.
Hopefully these tests gleaned from years of experience by golf professionals, can help you to correct your golf slice.
Pitch Shot Golf Tips
George Gankas golf theory assists golfers from around the world through the GG Swing Method.
While many players recognize GG’s contributions to developing well composed golf swings that deliver expanded depth and accuracy, George Ganaks golf lessons also provide insight into calculated short game strategies that lead to reduced handicaps in golfers of all skill sets.
Developing a strong pitch shot requires that golfers optimize several elements of their short game golf strategies in order to make the most of their shot.
This begins with choosing the correct golf club for the shot.
A pitching wedge can be best utilized to achieve the perfect pitch shot in situations where the golfer has an expanded amount of green available for play.
When pitching shots under golf course circumstances that require an increased amount of roll after impact, gap wedges are the most efficient golf club to obtain the ideal pitch shot.
Larger course obstacles can dictate that a lob or sand wedge be used in order to deliver the desired results otherwise unattainable with a pitching wedge or gap wedge.
When deciding which golf club to use during our pitch shots, golfers must ask themselves how deep the golf ball needs to travel in order to reach then green and how to best ensure that the golf ball lands as close to the hole as possible.
Setting up the ideal pitch shots requires consistency above all else, as golfers that address the golf ball slightly more forward than normal have found. Our desired flight path can be easily achieved by simply maintaining a high level of consistent motion in our pitching setup.
Keeping all of our motion in an open swing position allows the clubface to be pointing just right of our desired target, with our shoulders, hips, and feet aligned left of the target as a result.
As our body opens up in our swing, our clubhead also opens itself upon impact with the golf ball, providing the correct level of loft needed to secure ample flight path to pitch the golf ball onto the green.
