Correcting a slice will happen naturally when you attend to your basics.
In this article, I will discuss good grip, correct stance and proper stroke.
Work at implementing these until they are second nature and you will definitely see an improvement in your game.
If you are playing right-handed and a good few of your shots are heading to the right and then curving back to the left you are slicing.
Incidentally, this is also called a "banana ball" and can sometimes be useful for getting around obstacles.
Unfortunately, it is also the type of shot that may have got you into trouble in the first place.
The slice on the golf ball happened because your club face was turned open at the point of impact with the ball and shaved it from right to left.
This, quite obviously, generated a clockwise spin on the ball.
The ball flies off to the right due to the open club face, gradually loses velocity and then because of the retained clockwise spin being retained on the ball, curves back to the left.
To stop playing this type of shot unintentionally, you need to get back to your basics and implement best practice.
The only cure for a slice is to close the club face at impact with the ball and good fundamentals will help you do that.
Your Grip First of all take your normal grip on the golf club which should be with the left thumb inside the right palm.
The grip on the club should not be tighter than a comfortable hand shake - just enough to make sure that the club does not wobble when you hit the golf ball or fly out of your hands on the follow through swing.
Place the face of the golf club as close to the ball as possible and look at your hands.
The face of the club should be square onto the ball.
The back of your left hand should be square onto your target and the back of your right hand should be square away from your target.
If you can see a couple of knuckles of your left hand, your grip is correctly placed.
Should your grip be incorrectly placed, rotate your hands around the shaft of the club until you can see a couple of knuckles.
Do not move the face of the club from square with the ball - just rotate your hands.
If you are still slicing or hooking the ball, only adjust the strength of your grip.
Stance Prepare to address the ball with your shoulders, hips and feet in line with the ball.
Your left foot must be beneath your left armpit and angled slightly to the left.
Your right foot must be beneath your right armpit and pointed straight ahead perpendicular to your shoulder line.
Make sure that the ball is the same distance to both feet.
Next, make sure that both your shoulders and elbows are relaxed.
The target, your feet and shoulders, and the ball should form a straight line.
With your stance and grip correct, hit a few practice balls.
If you are still slicing take a look at your divot.
If it is angled far to the right, your stance and posture is still not quite correct.
Make sure that your target, feet, shoulders and ball are all in a straight line.
Rhythm Power comes from rotation of your hips.
When you start the forward swing, your hips must be the first part of your body that moves.
Everything else will fall into place naturally.
Do not rush the movement of your hands.
Should you require a harder strike on the ball, rather take a higher backswing.
Allow the club to do what it is designed to do - the weight of the club is all that you need.
Your swing must be smooth from backswing to forward swing and follow through.
Keep your eyes on the ball from start to finish.
Patience is the key.
Concentrate on the fundamentals and your game will improve.
I suggest you work on one aspect at a time when correcting a slice.
