2 Easy Drills Regarding How To Fix A Slice

By Toby Carr


Have you ever wondered if there was any simple way to discover how to mend a cut? It seems that wherever you look, there are numerous methods and drills, each saying that they hold the key to ending your dreaded slice. I can remember my days as a frequent slicer, always holding up my foursome and just flat out mortifying myself on the course. The miserable thing was, was that I was paying all this money to play golf, spending smatterings of money on green fees, course memberships, golf balls, golf clubs, and food, but I wasn't having fun. I really dreaded going out with my pals to play golf. After telling myself that I wished to learn correctly the correct way to fix a cut, I made a decision that I would not play another round of golf again till I fixed my slice on the driving range doing 1 or 2 simple drills.

The first drill, you may or may not have been told about already, that I practiced was a drill that I liked to call the "feet together while swinging" drill. And can you guess how you do this drill? Naturally! Begin with your feet reasonably close together and hit some range balls with the club of your preference ( I mostly did it with my 5-iron ).

The fact that this drill can help one fix a slice is really because, with your feet together, you swing the club on a flatter plane, thus promoting a rather more inside-to-outside swing trail, the right swing trail for dumping your cut and hitting straight golf shots. I practiced this drill for days, and oh boy, did it do a wonder for my swing? You bet it did, and it will do the same for you.

I also practiced another drill, which is like a combo drill because it comes with 2 surprises in one. This drill principally is focused on your follow through, which, in my opinion, is a major key to a consistent golf swing. This will help anybody learn the way to fix a slice.

At your standard set-up, just swing the club like normal and hold your follow through till the ball hits the ground. This time , however , concentrate on having your hands higher than the club head on your follow thru, to where the club is pointing to the ground at a 45 degree angle or so. This can promote your swing to hit the ball straight, or even a draw. I also practiced this drill for quite a while, I quit slicing, and I even added 20 yards to my drive.
