Are your golf balls tired of flying off with a mind of their own into the great oblivion? Whether it’s on hole five, six, or calling it a mulligan kind of day halfway through, one thing is clear: slices are about as welcome as a sand trap in a rainstorm. To eliminate the slice from your golf swing you need to make more than a few tweaks. You have to go all out. Read more now on golf swing doctor

Imagine you are playing golf in a beautiful setting. The fairway is like a sea of green before you. But then, the worst thing happens. Your drive takes a terrible right turn.

Nine times out of ten, that mythical beast, the slice, is what gets you. A slice is when the clubface hits the ball at an unnatural angle. 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. Your grip is often as telling as your poker hand. A weak grip-where the hands rotate toward the target-can be the silent culprit. Make sure your knuckles say hello. Grip the club in such a way that you can clearly see at least two or three of your fingers. Think about shaking hands with an old friend rather than strangling a garden hose; your hold should balance firmness and flexibility. Imagine you are about to take a picture, for your argument’s sake: posture makes perfect. Set up with most of your weight on your back foot; as you make your swing through, shift your weight forward. The pendulum rocks back and forth without jerking this way and that, much like an old grandfather clock. That balance will take even the scrawniest of swings and make it more graceful than chaos.
