I have the worst slicing problem in the history of golf.

Re: I have the worst slicing problem in the history of golf.

My freshman year of high school I had a terrible slice. Two things were causing it. I had the ball too far up in my stance and I was blocking out, meaning that I was not getting my hips through the ball. That meant that my elbow was not coming in nice and close to my body. It took me 2 months on the range to figure out what the problem was. If possible, have someone video you while you swing. That can help a lot.

Use it to your advantage. Tee the ball up on the far right side of the tee box and aim over to the left. It should start left and curve into the fairway. That doesn't give you any advice on your swing but it should give you a better chance at hitting the fairway.

While you have your slice off of the tee you should do this, but dont make it a habit and get used to compensating for your slice. You think that it is helping you by compensating and aiming left, but tis really hurting you. That huge slice that you have is probably costing you around 30-50 yards off of the tee, trust me, i know. I had a slice for about 4-5 years of golfing but I have fixed it. Its all about practicing and trying new things. A few tihngs to work on:
-Lining yourself up straight. One of my main problems was that my shoulders were pointing way left of the target and that would leave my clubface open at impact. While your practicing try to hold a club accross your shoulders to have them paralell with the target line and get used to taking time to align yourself
-Grip is key. Make sure that your grip isnt too "weak". A weak grip leads to a slice, you need to lean more towards a strong grip. If you have no idea what im talking about, it has to do with the position of your hands on the club, not the strength in which you hold the club. Check out some golf sites for more info on the grip
-The main problem that you have causing you to slice is that your hands arent turning over fast enough through impact ad the club is left slightly open. You have to work on timing your hands to meet the ball square. Its like in baseball, how you roll your wrists, well its the same in golf you need to roll your wrists over and do it fast enough so that the clubface is square at impact
-Finish your swing. This was also one of my big problems, you have to make a nice ifnish and hold it. Make it a point to even exaggerate your finish as it will help you come through the ball and will also help you roll your wrists a bit more to hit the ball square

You should get the feel for the hands turning over and you will notice you are making better contact.

A good way to get the feeling for your hands turning over is to put about 3 inches of space inbetween your hands on the club and swing a couple of times. This forces your hands to roll over more.

i probably have a 10-15 yard slice on my swing off the tee (irons are a little straighter) but i don't have anything to tell you other than aim down the left side of the fairway
