Golf Slice Cure Practice Drills to Improve Golf Shot
One of the most common golf swing faults is to “slice” the golf ball. A golf slice, for right handed golfers, is a golf shot that starts left of the target and finishes right of the target.
To fix the golf slice, there are several critical golf practice drills that can help you engrain the proper golf swing movements into your golf swing and give you the right “feeling” of a well-executed golf shot. Below is a favorite golf slice drill recommended by many PGA pros – the “Right Foot Back” practice drill. Once you have checked your setup and executed this practice drill for a few minutes, return to your normal swing. You will be surprised at how quickly your golf slice is fixed!
SWING SETUP CHECKPOINTS
1. Check your grip and ensure your clubface is square to the ball (as opposed to open).
2. At setup, make sure you are in a “square” stance, with your body parallel to your target line.
3. Check your swing path from backswing to impact to follow through and ensure it follows an “in to square to in” path toward the target line.
4. Keep your body synchronized throughout your backswing, impact, follow-through and finish positions.
RIGHT FOOT BACK GOLF SLICE DRILL
Corrects golf slices caused by out to in swings and encourages proper in to square to in swing path.
1. Perform this drill at half-speed using a 7-iron and teed ball.
2. Take narrow stance, then pull your right foot back 1 foot.
3. Swing along IN-SQUARE-IN swing path and make contact with the ball. Do not worry about distance, but focus on hitting a solid, straight golf shot.
4. Hit 5 to 10 shots, while noting your swing path through to release and finish positions of swing.
5. Remove the tee and hit several solid, straight golf shots at half speed off the ground with the right foot back.
6. As you feel comfortable with your golf shots, gradually bring your right foot back even with your left foot.
7. Re-create the same “feel” of a well struck golf shot as you gradually increase the speed of your swing.
