Do your golf balls have a tendency to fly off into the void? Slices are as unwelcome as a sandtrap in a storm. Well, to eliminate slice in golf swing, there is a bit more than just a tweak or two involved; this involves going whole hog with the adjustments. Read more now on golf swing doctor
Imagine playing golf on a beautiful afternoon; the fairway gleams like a green sea before you, and then the terrible thing happens: your drive makes a disastrous veer right.
The slice is the most common culprit. A slice generally occurs when the clubface strikes the ball at an angle, creating excessive, unwanted spin. What is the goal? To square up the clubface to the ball and send your shot directly down the fairway, like a laser splitting butter clean in half. Take a minute to practice your grip. Seriously, your grip can often be as telling as a poker hand. A weak grip-where the hands rotate toward the target-can be the silent culprit. Your knuckles should be saying hello. Grip the club in such a way that you can clearly see at least two or three of your fingers. Consider holding hands with a friend instead of strangling the garden hose. Your grip should be a balance between firmness and flexibility. Imagine that you’re about to take a photo, just for argument sake. Perfect posture is important. Set up with most of your weight on your back foot; as you make your swing through, shift your weight forward. Like an old grandfather clock, the pendulum moves back and forth in a smooth motion. This balance can take the smallest of swings, and make them more graceful than chaos.
