The Devil's Point Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Getting different advice on how to cure my slice off the tee. Any suggestions people? You could be standing very slightly too far away from the ball. Generally I'd say a slice is slightly easier to manage than a hook though. Limit the damage by aiming deliberately left of where you actually want to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulo Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Find a decent pro and book a lesson. You could spend hours and hours self-analysing and trying to cure problems which might not even exist, whereas an independent set of (trained) eyes could have you on the right path in half an hour. Well worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulo Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 As long as the wife doesn't know about it. Amen. Especially when you inevitably decide that it's not your fault, it's obviously the clubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven H Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Beginner player been hacking about for a few months now. Getting different advice on how to cure my slice off the tee. Any suggestions people? Ive been slicing to the right for a while now and after one lesson and it was fixed. I wasn't timing my hip turn properly as I followed through after striking the ball. There are a lot of different things that can cause it tho, standing too far from the ball is one and pulling your arms as you strike the ball is another (genereal rule is dont hit the ball, swing the club...the ball then gets in the way, if you know what I mean) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicofan Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 Thanks to all who replied. Will look into lessons. As before mentioned a common cause is standing to close to the ball, however the other main cause is when you draw the club back you will be taking the club outside the line of the ball to right cuasing the slice, similarly if you take the club to much inside to the left this will cause you to hook it. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy davie Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I went to a golf pro for lessons and he told me that my problem was that I was actually standing too close to the ball. After I'd hit it. hahahaaahahahahahahhaahhaa - I'm so funny...!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
