How do I stop my driver shots from slicing to the right?

When I first started playing golf, I also had a wicked slice. I never

knew how to fix it. Some of these other answerers have good

advice, which I could have used way back when. Anyway, for

several years, I just played my slice. I used to aim for the tops of the

trees on the left of the fairway, or, if no trees, about as far left as I

figured I could go, and still bring it back. My brother used to laugh

his butt off at some of my shots. Somehow, I didn't do too bad,

and didn't lose too many balls when they failed to slice.

For whatever reason, my slice disappeared the more I played.

Whether it was different clubs, straighter swing and follow through,

square club-face contact, I don't know for sure. I now hit them

long and straight. It's my short irons, and chipping that's killing me now. Good luck.

You don't say if the ball starts left and slices right or if it starts straight or to the right and goes further right.... remember these two facts about the geometry of the game...

1. whatever direction the ball starts going in is the direction the clubhead was going when it contacted the ball.

2. whatever direction the ball finishes in is the direction the clubface was pointed.

.... learn what the term "staying connected" and "one piece take-away" means (look it up on the internet, not enough room here) and practice it with clubhead covers under each arm.

I play to a 2 handicap and I draw the ball off the tee. When I need a fade one of the things I do beside grip and stance adjustments is swing a little faster because it helps me to leave the clubface open and get the fade (little slice).

Go to the range and hit some tee shots with your driver at half speed. You should feel the clubhead release and square up at impact.

Good luck, when I started I had a terrible slice. The game is much more fun now.

Stop Slicing Driver

Unfortunately the answer depends on how good you want to get, how much effort you want to put in, and how patient you are. If you really want to get good and would do anything to do it I'd suggest you see a professional and ask him to remould your swing.

Otherwise, I'd say you need to:

1) Loosen your grip.

2) Stand slightly further away from the ball

3) Raise your hands slightly at address

4) Take the club away wide and get your left shoulder (for rh golfer) under your chin

5) Swing down slowly first then speed up at impact.

6) Feel like you're pushing your right arm as far out as possible at impact

7) Feel like the back of your left hand is facing the target and slightly down at impact.

This will take a bit of getting used to. But there is no quick fix.

first ingredient, make helpful the 'properly-known' shaft isn't inflicting the priority. Any good golfing course, public and private, could desire to have 'Demo' drivers they may be useful use for a around or 2 so try one with a stiff shaft. If that would not artwork then try to 'flatten' your swing (swing around your physique greater like a baseball swing). subsequent time you're on the style as a replace of placing your feet sq. to the line of your ball flight, close your stance (in case you swing good exceeded, circulate your good foot back from the ball to the place the toe of your good foot is even with the heel of your left foot, in case you swing left exceeded, use the different feet). you're able to desire to basically try this to be sure if pulling down your swing will get rid of the slice not use this setup long term as that's going to bring about different issues. frequently the greater vertical/upright/steeper your swing the less demanding it is to swing from the exterior in on your downswing which will reason you to slice.

Simple as this: MOVE THE BALL PLACEMENT UP IN YOUR STANCE! This should cure it instantly because when you swing if the ball is to far away from your front foot the face will be aimed right and if its to far up in your stance its aimed left. Move the ball up in your stance. IF THIS DOESNT WORK: Try swinging slower. IF THIS DOESNT WORK: Find your power, go to the driving range and find your good power. Hint 25% go to 50% go to 75% etc. IF THIS DOESNT WORK: Try keeping shoulders even and DO NOT try to lift the ball. IF THIS DOESNT WORK: Move closer to the ball. IF THIS DOESNT WORK: Keep your weight focused on the back of your feet in swing.

Hmm it could be you are opening your club face at impact trying cheating a bit on your set up and close you club face at address i have had the same problem i eventually worked it out...

If you can figure this out, you need to tackle world peace next.

aim left then or stop playing you will always suck if you dont succeed at first
