The Ultimate Slice Cure

photo credit: mandj98   Unfortunately, there are no ultimate slice cures.

   The slice is just about the most common fault among amateur golfers.  To many, swinging from the outside to the inside, seems just as natural as walking.  The slice swing causes left to right spin which causes the ball to veer sharply to the right.  Correct the outside-in swing-path and the slice can be cured.  The right equipment will also go a long way.

An off-set clubhead and more flexible shaft are two good options.  Increasing the driver’s loft also reduces side-spin.  The best corrective measures are a shorter, heavier shaft.  A shaft of forty-four inches and a weight of at least fifteen to twenty grams will improve the clubhead’s ability to resist twisting on off-center hits. 

The “draw” clubhead is another helpful method to counteract the slice.
