Slice
The ball starts to the left of the target line and then curves right to finish to the right of the target.
Checklist
- Aim: Your clubface could be too open
- Grip: Your hands may be twisted too far round to the left of the grip, known as a weak grip. As you swing through the ball the blade is naturally opening
- Ball position: The ball could be too far forward in your stance causing your shoulders to open
- Stance: Your stance may be too narrow causing your to be unstable and rely too much on your arms through the forward swing rather than your hips
- Body alignment: Your feet, hips and shoulders are probably aiming too far left of the target causing you to swing your club on an 'out to in' swing path
- Posture: You may be standing too far from the ball
- Swing: It is possible that you are opening the clubface too early in your backswing and that your are swinging too far outside the target line which means you will not make enough turn in your hips.
