“Stop Slicing Instantly & Never Hit It Fat Or Thin Again!”

I. Straighten Your Slice Through Analysis:
The banana ball is one of the ugliest shots in golf and one of the
most common. If it’s your shot, these tips will help you go straight.

A) Set Up Square:
At address, your shoulders, hips, knees, and feet must be parallel to
the target line (the imaginary line from the ball to your target).
During practice, place a club across your toes and the other key spots
to check for proper alignment.

B) Strengthen Your Grip:
Most players who slice have weak hands or a weak grip. In either
case, the hands don’t roll over at impact, so the clubface is open
(pointing right) when it meets the ball.
Encourage a proper “release” of the hands by strengthening your
grip: Turn your hands away from the target so that at address the
“Vs” formed by the thumb and forefinger of each hand point toward
your right shoulder.

C) Don’t Choke The Club:
Hold it tightly enough so you’re in control, but loosely enough that
someone could tug it out of your hands.

D) Hands Ahead:
Many slicers start with the hands behind the ball. At address the left
hand should be ahead of the ball so a straight line could run down
the left arm, through the hands, to the ball.

E) Head Behind:
If your head isn’t behind the ball at address, chances are you aren’t
shifting yourweight properly in the backswing. Encourage the headback
position by swiveling your chin to the right before starting the
swing.

F) One-Piece Takeaway:
Starting the club away from the ball in “one piece” means moving
your body parts together. Visualize your arms as two long sides of a
triangle, with the base a line across your shoulders.
When you start your back-swing, think of turning the entire triangle
- shoulders, arms, and hands, right down to the club - together.
Don’t break your wrists too early in the backswing: let them hinge
naturally as the club swings up past waist height.

G) Solid Right Side:
Body sway during the swing leads to poor contact. Keep your lower
bodystill by using your right leg as a brace. Don’t stiffen it so much
that you can’t make a good turn, but keep it firm so it can support the
swing.
