How to Stop a Slice - Be a Waiter

Would you like to be a waiter and find out how to stop a slice in your golf swing? Metaphorically speaking of course!

So you want to fix a wicked slice?

Fed up of missing the fairway?

First of all let's just look at what can generate a slice. One of the biggest causes is unwinding the shoulders too early in the downswing.

This can result in you cutting across the ball outside to in, imparting side spin on the ball. Then your ball goes off to the right with a wicked slice.

Another problem can be not rotating your hands through the ball at the impact zone. This is our main target in today's tip with - How to stop a slice.

Play like a Waiter:

So how do we do this? Well the whole concept is to imagine holding a tray in your right hand at the top of your backswing. Picture this - your right palm should be facing skywards at the top of your backswing as if you are balancing a tray on it.

Then at the end your follow through your left palm should be facing skywards, as if you are balancing a tray in your hand. Just like a waiter!

So what does this produce?

Well this will produce good forearm/hand rotation through your impact zone, adding draw spin to your golf ball. This will generate a right to left swing path to your ball flight adding distance and accuracy to your shots.

Another good tip to fix your slice is to delay the start of your shoulder turn in the downswing. Start the downswing with a delay in your shoulder turn by starting to pull your hands straight down, as if pulling a rope hanging from the sky.

We also shift our weight and hips toward our left side at this point of our downswing.

This will leave you with a killer swing! The envy of all your friends.
