Those new to this game often have this fault and it tends to be frustrating. The slice is considered uncontrollable and results in the ball being sent deep into the rough. The slice is even considered a more common mistake than the hook, which occurs with the ball doing the opposite through the air.
Tips on how to cure the slice
If you want to cure the slice, check first your alignment and make sure certain body parts (chest, shoulders, feet, and hips) are parallel to each other as well as to the ball to pin line. In order for the upper body to rotate properly, it’s important to check if your body is aligned correctly. An out to in swing will then take place, in which the club will not hit through the ball but rather it will be moving form the outside to the inside of the ball as the impact takes place. Side spin will then be the consequence followed by the dreaded slice.
A slice can still occur even if your alignment is perfect because it also depends on the positioning of the ball in the stance. So make sure your ball is not placed too far forward in the stance.
The club face should be square on at impact with the ball, otherwise it will also result to a slice. That’s because the club face has come past square and moves in from the ball to pin line, thus generating side spin which in turn causes the ball to slice.
Rough guide for ideal ball placement
Keep in mind that when it comes to long irons, place the ball inline with the inside of your left heel, center of the stance if it’s short iron, then between two positions mentioned above for medium irons.
Check your posture as weight distribution can also affect your game. Don’t let your weight be too far forward as it can also encourage slicing the ball.
Try strengthening your grip. Move your hands slightly clockwise around the club, adjust your grip and lighten the pressure so it could reduce slicing.
