Golf Game Secrets

Slicing is the most common fault made by golfers, especially beginners. Slicing means the ball starts to the left of the target and finished well to the right. In general, slicers use too much body action in their swing which is opposite golfers who hook, have too much hand action and not enough body.

 

A QuickTip to Prevent The Slice

 

1. Relax your mind and body, especially body. Don’t try to hit a ball hard and think that it will give you an extra distance – this is totally wrong.The proper amount of distance will come in time. Your goal here is to stop causing the ball curving from left to right – if you are right-handed golfer.

 

2. Make sure your grip is not weak which can noticed by knuckles of your lef hand (for right-handed golfer). If you can only see one knuckle, it means that your grip is weak. So try to grip your golf club so that at least two or three knuckles are visible and then place your right hand that each palm is facing one another. This will close your clubface more and reduce the chances of slicing.

 

3. Adjust your stance so that it is slightly closed, with the right feet pointing just a few degrees towards the right of your target line. This will stop you from swinging the club outside-in.

 

A Practice Drill

 

Here is one simple drill that can be used to fix your slice by Gary McCord, CBS golf analyst and PGA Champions Tour champion.

 

Step 1: Address the ball as you normally do.

 

Step 2: Turn your body until your butt is toward the target and your feet are perpendicular to the target line. You will feel a bit strange but belive me, it works.

 

Step 3: Twist your upper body to the left so that you can again place the club head behind the ball.

 

Step 4: Hit about 20 shots and switch to your normal stance and try to reproduce the feeling you had before but in the correct way.

Foremost, you need to relax to get any type of good swing in motion. Even if you already have the best motion, you still need to brush up some and become more relaxed. Try to pretend you’re alone and that no other person there to judge your game.

You need to think about your stance. Naturally everyone is different so we all have different strengths, weaknesses, techniques and style. Some of us have a great stance while some of us are much better at putting.
To further your golfing career and improve your game, some time should be spent in perfecting your stance. Try to maximize your swing efficiency, in doing so you’ll also find more enjoyment in the game.
Most golfers use the general stance. Standing tall with heels about a shoulder width apart. Slightly bend from the top of your hips keeping your back straight while letting your arms hang down. Don’t tuck your chin into your chest.
If you don’t have a good stance it can lead to having a bad swing and follow-through. It’s not too difficult to get a good stance so don’t worry. You may have to take some extra time to get your motion right, especially if you’ve had a bad stance for a period of time. You’ll need to break away from that stance and move into a good swinging motion.
There will always be room for improvement but once you find a perfect golf swing, work with it and try to stick with it. Even though you might feel like you aren’t the best golfer on the planet, just keep improving your swing and you’ll start bringing down your scores. Keep working on it, it will come.
