Best Cure For A Slice In Golf - "Fore!" No More!

The Grip Is Too Weak: The best cure for a slice can often be as simple as rotating your left hand grip over to the right. Think about it...if your hands come through the ball during your swing and they are pointing to the right (which they are if you are hitting a slice!), then why not rotate your hands to the right at address and have the club face pointing straight at impact? But there's more...

Swing Path Is Cutting Across The Ball: Of course, if you fix the grip and not the swing path, then you will just hit a straight shot...LEFT! When we slice the ball, the club is cutting across to the left, imparting a left to right spin. But that is only half the story as we have just discussed, because the club must also be pointing to the right in order for a slice to happen.

For some good drills to start swinging it straight with a straight club face, you can visit BestSliceCure.com.

Hit a slice (backward spinning) forehand with a tennis racket and you can see right away the motion needed to hit a slice. You really have to cut hard across the ball with an "open" face of the racket to get it to spin backwards and still make it over the net.

Hit a top-spin forehand and you can see that you need to swing UP on the ball with a "closed" racket face in order to hit it with spin and keep it low enough to stay in the court.

SO WHAT? So now take those "hip-level" shots you are making with a tennis racket and pretend you are making those same shots with a tennis ball that is a few inches from the ground. See what will happen? The "cut" shot will go right and the "top-spin" shot will go left.

Take this analogy to the driving range and you can see what it feels like to hit the golf ball (now) from the "inside" and hit a draw instead of cutting from the outside and hitting a slice.

Think of the difference in swings...for the "cut shot" you need to swing the club away from your body at the top swing to be able to pull it back towards you at impact, right?

For the "top spin" shot (or the draw), the down-swing will be closer to the right side of your body and swinging out and away from your body at impact, right?

It is very important to know the causes and effects of golf swing path and golf grip...But as we all know about golf, it's one thing to know what we need to do and a whole other thing actually doing it!!

Swinging the club correctly can create that shot where we say "Yes! There it was!", but this is often short-lived on the range because we don't have someone overseeing our practice...unless we are spending money on lessons.

I find it extremely helpful to use the Momentus club (5-iron I use) to give me immediate and on-demand feedback of my swing. If I ever feel like I am coming over the top, or losing power, I swing the Momentus for a few minutes and it works every time.

What I also like about the Momentus is the fact that it's not some flukey vest or hula-hoop device...it's just another club you put in your bag and pull it out when you need it. It's pretty harsh and it tells the truth about your swing...because you can't even swing it if you are swinging wrong! You can visit their website below by clicking the picture...
