3 moves ‘to help you never do it again,’ according to Top 100 trainer

Andrew Rice, his recorded video and his tweet of his shared video, got a response. why, the commenter wroteis there so much content — how to cure a slice.

to which Rice said:

“Hmm! I wonder why…?”

Indeed. Fixing parts is a popular topic, as the slice is a common mistake. That said, Rice, a Top 100 GOLF teacherbelieves he has three moves to direct the ball’s flight from right to left (or left to right) and you can watch them in the video below. We’ll review them when you’re done watching.

1. Focus on the club face

Most golfers who slice the ball have an open face throughout their entire swing – not just on the stroke.

The clubface has the biggest impact on the ball’s spin, so it’s important to square it as early as possible in your swing. Remember, the ball will deflect where the clubface is aiming, so if the face is open, contact is not square – which will cause the ball to chip.

2. Capture

To avoid cutting the golf ball, your grip must be in place. This means that the club in your lead hand is properly held in the fingers and not the palm. For those golfers who have a hole in their grip, this means you are gripping the club improperly.

Many golfers who slice tend to place their thumb right in the middle of the grip. Instead, place your thumb just off-center to the right if you’re a right-handed golfer and just to the left if you’re a left-handed golfer.

3. Attitude

Attitude has a lot to do with making good contact. This means your arms hang with your hands below your shoulders, which will help strengthen the club’s path.

Naturally, your wings swing where they hang, so good posture will help you stay in the plane longer.

4. Depth in running back

You absolutely must allow the club to move around your back as your turn. Depth is directly related to rotating your body through your back and hips, rather than just using your arms.

When you twist and turn your body, you can allow your arms to move below your shoulder line. This correct path will help make a fair putt or draw – assuming your grip and forehand are correct.

5. Release

To help combat this problem, I suggest using one of my favorite exercises.

Separate your hands on the club grip by 4 to 6 inches and take your normal golf swing. The clubhead doesn’t need to hit the ground when you do this, and you don’t even need to use the ball to begin with.

Try to get a bit of ‘soul’ in the forward swing and, because your hands are apart, this should affect the clubface to stay either square and closed.

If you are too tight or delay this release, you will not be able to hear the ‘whoosh’ sound.

After you add a ball, put your hands back together, trying to loosen the club face.

6. Exaggerated release

I think drills are a great way to prevent you from cutting the golf ball – so here’s another one worth trying.

Place your ball on a low spike.

Now, take a half swing with a short iron to mid and, moving forward, try to exaggerate the release of the clubface by looking down at the ground. It should be at hip level on the front side of your swing.

When done right, you should be able to produce some hooks thanks to this over-exaggerated release.

7. Be ready to hit the hooks

Having a positive attitude and trusting the process goes a long way when trying to make changes to your golf game.

So if you’ve been slicing for a long time, the draw or kick stroke will feel and sound really good – as it produces much firmer contact.

Just remember to be patient as you implement changes in your movement – nothing will be fixed overnight.

8. The descending path

Beyond the clubface at impact, the second biggest influence on ball flight is the descent path. Here you will want your arms to swing down over your turned shoulder line.

To get the feel for this, I recommend using stretch clubs, which can help direct your swing path from moving out and past the ball.

Putting things on track to avoid this high road will help provide feedback and improvement.

9. Eliminate tension

As mentioned earlier, tension can greatly affect your slice. So you’ll want to try to minimize it so you have a natural release and speed.

Most club grips are narrow, meaning they are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. However, many amateurs grip the club too tightly, mistakenly thinking it will move on them if they relax their grip.

Instead of using a death grip, hold the club lightly. This will allow you to feel the weight of the club head throughout your golf swing.

10. Close your stay

To help improve your ability to turn and have depth in your backswing, try closing your stance.

Take your normal setup and aim the clubface at your target. Then, simply throw your trail leg back approximately 2 to 6 inches, allowing your shoulders and forearms to react to this as well.

This subtle movement will give you a head start on your turn, helping the club come more inwards on an accurate path – which will help eliminate slices.
