That weak slice costs you distance on every single shot. So why not swap it for a pro-style draw? The good news is that it’s much easier than you think.
Quick On The Draw!

THE 4 KEY REASONS YOU CAN’T STOP SLICING

A slice can stem from a combination of flaws – but you can bet your bottom dollar that at least one of the following is to blame. let’s fix them all!

A WEAK GRIP

When we reference a ‘weak’ grip, we’re not talking about grip pressure. We’re talking about the position of the hands and the top hand in particular. In a good grip, you should be able to see two to three knuckles on the top hand. If there are more than three knuckles, the grip is ‘strong’. Fewer than two and the grip is ‘weak’. A weak grip often causes the clubface to be too open at the top of the backswing, which in turn leads to it being open (aiming) right at impact.

BAD AIM & ALIGNMENT

If you don’t aim the gun correctly, the bullet will never hit the target. The same holds true in golf. Many amateurs set up aiming too far right of the target. When that happens, their natural body alignment and swing will cause them to hit the ball in that direction. To avoid that happening, they’re forced to swing across the ball-target line in the downswing to get the club back on track. That leads to weak, left-to-right ball spin.
