Particularly the driver. Go |

Fix whatever you are doing wrong. Grip, stance, etc...
For me, I had to roll my grip over from what felt normal. |

Get your swing plane corrected View Quote Move to an inside out swing pattern. View Quote Gee, thanks fellas. Never thought of that. |

I switched to a flexible shaft. If I swing hard and try and gorilla it my ball goes to shit. If I swing the right way I can even get a nice draw to it.

Choose the correct ball for your swing, everyone wants to use prov1's. If you don't have a perfect swing those things will spin sideways like a bitch.

I put the ball further back in my stance, but swing as though I hadn't.
Ended up with the a slight draw. Shrug |

If you can't fix your drive fix your driver. I got a Callaway with adjustable weights and adjustment on the shaft to turn the clubface in a bit.

Easy. I'll teach you how to hit a slice first.
Aim left (where ball will start). Open club face (to where you want the ball to land). Swing square with your feet (lined up left). Do you now see the problem with slicers aiming left to compensate? Now reverse everything to hit a draw. |
|
Depends on the kind of slice. If the flight path starts left and moves right, then you're likely swinging outside to in. Place a club cover such that you will only miss the cover if you are inside to out or straight. Rinse and repeat.
If the flight path immediately starts curving right then it's likely the club face being left open. This is either a grip issue. Roll your left hand more over such that the logo on the glove points more skyward until the path straightens out. OR you're strangling the grip preventing your wrists from rolling over. Practice swings with an open tube of toothpaste such that no paste comes out. |

Never thought of that. I try to remember to rotate around my right leg like it’s the axis of the earth. I don’t know why it works but it does (for me) Then after the third pass by the cart girl I’ve forgotten all about it and spend the rest of the day in the woods looking for balls. |

Put a tee in the ground 8" behind the ball. Make 3/4 swings to hit the ball without hitting the tee.
You will hit some horrendous shots for a while, but stick with it and your brain will figure out how to swing the clubhead more from the inside. |

Look up Harvey Penick's magic move. But don't overdo it or you will wear out the left rough.
ETA: It is a drill to sequence your weight transfer and drop the club into the slot to produce an inside out swing. Watch at 49:40 here: https://archive.org/details/TheLittleGreenVideo |

Almost all folks who struggle with slicing are not leading with their hips. You have to turn your hips before your upper body to have an inside out swing.

A lesson with a competent teaching pro will make this easier. A swing video will get you my amateur advice. It all boils down to an open club face and an out to in swing. Look up drills on shallowing the club as well
|
|
Most people slice because they try to make power with their upper bodies to soon. Tempo tempo tempo. Try swinging with a rope in the back yard.
|

|
I'm still working on it, but I consciously roll my hands over and I hit it with a touch less power.
|
|
A good pro will get you on the right things to do pretty quick. Or you can watch YouTube videos for the net 10 years and still slice.

Lessons have helped me, also the right ball/club for your swing.
I got a Ping G410 LST (low spin) driver this summer and it definitely has helped |
|
I quit golf. Since that day I have not sliced a single ball.
Slice cured. Slice staying cured. ETA: Years ago there was a driving range near the line between Phoenix and Tempe. The tees were on three levels that they rotated through to allow the grass to regrow. When I was hitting from the top terrace (about three stories above the impact area), I regularly got a full 360 degree barrel roll. Just like a fighter jet. Pretty cool, hunh? |
|
Once cured. Get new grips.
Often. I would regress to bad hold. Worn and twisted grips proved it. |
|
Quoted: Get your swing plane corrected. View Quote Lay a yardstick on the ground at the driving range perpendicular to your toes so that it is touching the outside of the tee. Force your swing to follow that path to the ball. The slice is cause by an outside-in swing and the resulting clockwise spin put on the ball. |
|
Clubhead needs to be square at impact and also more in to out to create a draw type spin.
