Want To Fix That Golf Slice?
Slice is a term describing a specific left-to-right type of trajectory of the golf ball for right-handers, the opposite is true for lefties. Either way, a slice ends up right (or left) of the target line. Every golfer tries to hit the ball squarely and straight, but if the club face is slight open at the point of action in one direction, it will cause the ball to spin which will ultimately make the ball go left or right. Right-handers spin the ball clockwise when they slice, the friction which results from this spin makes the ball go to the right. This is the pure physical explanation.
There are some useful golf slicing tips that can cure your swing. But you should remember that even when you have your slice fixed, you will still slice a ball every now and then. Even Pro players do it occasionally. Tiger Woods happens to slice the ball sometimes into the trees, he's just a human, not a robot, so you can't expect to be perfect all the time. That's why you shouldn't be afraid of failing. Golf is more mental, then physical. It all happens in the mind. You must be able to become one with the ball in order to produce the perfect shot. The level of concentration makes the difference. Some people have been instructed by golf trainers and still don't quite make the right swing. Because, it's one thing to know it in theory, putting your knowledge into practice is sometimes harder than anticipated. But once you know the theoretical part, it will depend on you and your focus.
The most common reason for a golf slice is the grip. It's logical, because the only part of your body that gets into physical contact with a golf clubs is your hands. Three main grips you can have on a club - overlapping grip, interlocking grip, finger grip. The right pressure, along with ideal placement of the hands on the handle, will result in longer and straighter shots.
One of the laws of golf is that the ball goes where the clubface is looking when hitting it. If the clubhead curves to the right, or left, it will cause a slice. Always keep your club straight to avoid slicing. If at the moment of impact between the ball and club, the glubface is not straight, but twisted in left or right direction, it will result in a slice. Instead, make sure it's at 90 degrees to a straight line to the target when it strikes the ball, then the ball will fly straight. To help square the clubface at impact, pretend you are hitting a ball well behind the actual ball. Check it this site, http://golf.about.com/od/golftips/a/fixes_slice.htm, for more tips!
