According to Golftec data, there are two main reasons that recreation players remove the ball from the Tee.

A slice is one of the most common forms – and disappointing – shots among recreation players. Go to your local range and you will be sure to see many players who scream at the ball just to see in the horror as they chop the planet.
Not only the slices is hard to check, it is also without almost any power. Once you begin to cut the ball and put rotary tones in the stroke, barely gets a distance. Simply put, a slice is also ugly AND Untouchable.
A Slices usually occur When an outer swinging trail meets an open club. When those two ingredients are present, the ball will always fetch.
But why do so many players produce these two conditions during their swinging? Recently, I sat down with Josh Troyer, GolftecDirector of Teaching Quality to discover.
2 reasons players’ players hit a slice
Reason no. 1: Poor Setting
While we have harped many times before, a good configuration is essential for the constant hit of the ball. This rule stands true when it comes to preventing a slice as well.
When a pro the ball puts the ball, their hips and shoulders are almost square at the address. However, when a chronic ball cut is placed, they have their hips and shoulders LOT more open.
“They are essentially showing their breasts more towards the target and approximating everything too far away,” Troyer says. “This configuration encourages a shaky road that is the outermost.”
The cruel irony in the game here is that slicers often open their attitude and try to target left because of They lose the ball to the right so often. But when they do this, they are only exacerbating the problem of placement leading to a rocking path that produces a slice.
How to fix it: When you go to the practice range, be sure to put some kind of guide (club shaft or stretch climbing) on your feet by directly showing your intended line, then orient your hips and shoulders so that they are parallel to it. Likely to feel like you are aiming well on the rightBut in reality you will be intended perfectly on the target. By adjusting this configuration error, you will be able to swing on a more neutral route.
Reason no. 2: Incorrect sequence of transition
Once you have reached the top of your swing, it can be seductive to remove as soon as you can to try to generate speed. But when you do this, not only is you limiting your club speed, you are also creating conditions for a slice.
When a pro -turning from the top of the swing until their lead arm is parallel to the ground, they move their hips about two inches to the target. Doing this, they keep their shoulders closed longer while landing.
“This move forward helps to keep the chest closed longer and keeps the club more behind the body,” Troyer says. “What many poor players do instead is to open their bodies too early and move their buttocks away from the target. It makes their hands and clubs moving out and away from the body, grasping the route.”
When your hand trail leaves your body, the club club has nowhere to go, but beyond the ball through the influence area. And with that outer road, you have to leave your face open to keep the ball from the connection to the left.
How to fix it: When you reach the top of the swing and initiate your landing, you feel like keeping your shoulders closed a touch longer before the attic. This will help keep the club a little more when lowering and promoting an internal path.
