Tips On How To Control The Golf Club and STOP Slicing! 

Stop That Slice!

How can I stop slicing the golf ball? We get this question asked virtually everyday!

First, let's discuss what causes a slice. It is not an outside-to-inside swing as many would have you believe. Curvature of the golf ball is produced by one factor - the angle of the clubface relative to the path for the clubhead when the ball leaves the clubface!

What this means is you can be perfectly on plane with your golf swing and still hit pushes, fades, slices, pulls, draws, and hooks because of the clubface alignment.

The clubface is controlled by the target side hand - left for right-handed golfers.

So the hands control the clubface and the clubface controls the golf ball. Plain and simple - the breakdown is:

1. Learn to control your hands
2. Control the hands you control the clubface
3. Control the clubface you control the golf ball
4. Control the golf ball and you control the game

6 Deadly Things That Golfer Do 

6 Deadly Things That The Average Golfer Does

After reviewing hundreds of videos of amateur golfers from around the world we have discovered several things they have in common.

Virtually all are OFF Plane - now this could be because they have no concept of what the swing plane is - and that's no wonder with all of the mis-information out there.

The clubhead arrives to the ball BEFORE the hands do - this should be reversed but because golfers THINK they have to help the ball into the air this is the natural thing to do.

Poor posture - try turning around a BENT rod instead of a straight one.

Poor set-up - ball out of position, head leaning too far away from target - again mis-information and trying to keep the head behind the ball.

Poor balance throughout the stroke

Poor grip and even worse clubface control - leads to erratic shots

There are more but these are the biggest "faults" and ones that ANY golfer can overcome!
