How To Fix My Golf Slice For The Desperate Golfer
Article by Victor Lorentzo
I’ve been there before and know how embarrassing it is to be the only slicer in a group of golfers. Everybody knows that your ball is going right, no matter how hard you try! The further left you aim the further right it goes. The harder you hit, it disappears in the rough to the right…ouch.

You’ve probably heard suggestions from others, but it gets old. You are looking for the right book or TV show on how to fix my golf slice, but so far nothing is working!? Maybe a few tips from this article will help alleviate some of your pain.
Desperate golfers please listen. There is help! Here are a few basics which will alleviate your slice or at least limit its severity. The first step is probably your stance. Try standing with your big toes about 16 inches apart and slightly pointed outward (move your left toe about an inch forward of your right).
Your heels should be about 6 to 8 inches from each other. Stand up straight and bend from the waste (an arched back is a big mistake), keeping your back straight. As you start to bend, bend your knees slightly and start to sit until you feel comfortable. Remember to keep your weight on the heels for balance. This stance is the one you will use!
Addressing the ball is your next step. This routine will help you get comfortable before swinging. Use an 8 iron and drop the ball about 2 or three inches right of center. (Note: the more left of center, the more slice). Grasp the iron with your right hand as though you were shaking hands with someone. Do the same with your left hand.
Shift your hands to the right on the club slightly. This is a stronger grip and promotes a draw! When you slowly bring your club back keep your right elbow against your body. Keeping your elbow next to your body throughout your swing promotes an in-to-out swing.
Always take a practice swing to relax. Remember to only hit the ball about 75 to 80 percent of your hardest swing. This will help your control! You should make your practice swing the same speed as the swing you’re going to make! When you start your downswing, start slow. Speed up only when you’re about to hit the ball. This will promote follow-thru and control.
If your balls are still slicing, make small adjustments stroking a little more to the RIGHT. That’s correct, RIGHT. For the desperate reader who wants to quit slicing, this should help! Practice these basics for a while and find the swing that works for you! Good golfing!
