Thread: Help - Slice

Started 7 months, 2 weeks ago by AussieGolfBoy
Been playing golf for 4-5years and recently had a 3 month break. Though i've come back shooting mid 80 rounds. this slice that has crept into my game is killing me... I'm going to get a lesson hopefully today to get my draw back. basically whats happening is my stance just doesn't feel right. my swing i feel as if it's too quick from the top and i'm pulling across the ball.. if i don't ...

Hi AGB, You have a swing plane problem, i.e. over the top. outside to in plane, which is cutting across the ball. Big bill had the same problem and he is able to hit draws now. See the currently running thread "best tip/drill", or something like that for the tee in the butt end of grip drill. Workon that to visualize/feel the action. Good luck, Ted

ok. i think everything is sorted again... i went out to the course today where i played between 3 - 5 balls on each hole.... gotta love quiet golf courses ... anyway... i'm just about back where i was 3 months ago. this is what i fixed... my stance was very open... feet \ to target |... i set up what i thought was a straight stance and put my club on the ground toe - toe.. it wasn't ...

Afternoon AGB, I played golf for 3 years between the ages of 14-17 and got down to a handicap of 8. I unfortunately gave up and have regretted it ever since. I started to play again seriously for the last 3 months and have always had the problem of swinging "over the top" (Cutting across) which always resulted is a slice. Over the past few weeks I wanted to hit it as long and straight as...

yeah, Hugh, thats how my swing feels when i have it going well. It's amazing how a lay off even 3 months hurts your game., my driving is getting back to normal, my chipping is still and has always been strong same with my putting, but now my short game is coming up short. only a few months back i was hitting an 8i near 150m. thats dropped right back down to 140m and my LW is a joke at the ...

AussieGolfBoy replied 7 months, 1 week ago
had a good game today. shot 84 off the stick. had a few mental errors putting and a bad start to the back 9, but shot 42,42 playing off 14hc. Everything is coming back into my game, especially my confidence. i'm glad i worked out my problems, it's taught me more about the game even after 4 years playing. I now have a good setup routine

AussieGolfBoy replied 7 months, 1 week ago
god, i hate this game.......... only yesterday i went out and played really well... you would think i could do it 2 days in a row, but i've gotten worse... put aside the 30kt winds blowing today i hit 2 straight drives all day, putting was great, but the rest of my game was $#@&........................................ i know what i'm doing wrong, but i can't get my head around it to fix it...

different story for me. i'm doing it with all my clubs . not just the driver... it's just that the driver shows off my bad swing worse than the other clubs .

I posted this recently regarding OTT. I don't have the problem, but saw this the other day. It seems to make sense, when I think about it and visualize the action. The concept that was explained and shown is that you cannot swing OTT, if you first make the shift to the front leg, before swinging your shoulders and body. The shift is accompanied with the "dropping" of the arms on plane in the early...

AGB, Back again after a few weeks lol. I have been playing absolutely shocking. I got my new official handicap of 3 at my golf club and was thinking of doing the PGA teaching degree to turn pro I was playing that well, then had about 2 weeks off and completely lost my swing. I am swinging over the top so badly its untrue resulting in snap hooks, pulls and slices. I am hitting the range tomorrow morning to work the kinks out. I have come to the...

The two things I always check when I start to hit a few slices are as follows, for right handers:- First would be to slightly roll the right wrist over just before impact to ensure I am getting the club face square at impact instead of wide open. I other problem could be that your grip is too weak causing the same problem of an open club face at impact. To fix this I would turn my left wrist when gripping the golf club slightly to the right...

make sure your backswing is not a backswing but a "takeaway" one way to prevent the fast backswing is to put another ball behind the ball you are about to strike making sure the ball behind the golf club does not move more that a meter, once you get right you will note that your path is much better, other than that make sure your "release" the ball very early in your "downswing"

Without the proper body action, you will be contorting and flailing around trying to get the club to come...
