SIMPLE WAYS TO CURE YOUR SLICE

The most common ball flight for amateur golfers is the dreaded slice shot. The main problem is that most golfers don't realize that their slice is a direct result of their poor set-up. First, they set-up to "open" to the target line because they are afraid of losing it to the right. The problem is this set-up flaw actually increases the chance of hitting the slice. Second, they grip the club with a "weak" grip which also hinders them from releasing the club down the target line. Lastly, they grip the club to tight which also makes it very difficult to release the club, which will lead to an "over the top swing plane." So square up your aim, strengthen your grip, and lighten up the grip pressure and you should see a more consistent ball flight.
