The Most Common Reason Golfers Slice the Golf Ball



It is one of the most common swing mistakes. There is a lot of incorrect information out there suggesting how to fix a slice.

A slice describes what happens when the flight of the golf ball curves from left to right (for the right-handed golfer—the opposite for lefties). Many golfers have looked on with disappointment, and sometimes abject horror, as their golf ball curves in the characteristic path of a slice.

Paging through golf magazines or watching tutorials online frequently offer three outdated suggestions: strengthen the grip, rotate the forearms (or hands), or slightly close the club face.

Unfortunately, none of these suggestions are a panacea for a fade. They don’t provide long-term solutions.

There is one key relationship that dictates any curve in the golf ball—assuming the golfer is hitting the ball in the center of the club face—and that is the relationship between the path (the direction the club is swinging at the moment of impact) and the club face.

A slicer will often aim their shot (or set up their path) slightly to the left of the target. They will often combine that slightly-left path with a square or open club face.

To hit a nice, high draw, the right-handed golfer needs to align their path slightly to the right. The golfers who are capable of consistently hitting a high draw have a path swinging anywhere from 2-5 degrees to the right.
