Fix Your Slice

Q: What is the best training aid to fix a slice?

A swing plane trainer to correct your path, plus a grip trainer to square the face. Used together they attack both causes of the slice.

A slice costs you distance and fairways, and it is fixable once you know what is causing it. These aids target the three real culprits: an out-to-in swing path, an open clubface and a weak grip.

What actually causes a slice

The ball starts left and curves hard right because the club is cutting across it with the face open to that path. Swinging slower will not fix it. Aiming further left makes it worse, because it steepens the very path that created the problem.

Train the fix, do not just read about it

A swing plane trainer gives your arms a guide to swing under, so an in-to-out path becomes a feel rather than a theory. A grip trainer squares the face by putting your hands back in a neutral position. Used together over a couple of weeks, most golfers see the ball start to straighten.
