No matter how you slice it, your ball loves to make that right hand turn and go off to parts unknown. Here are some techniques that will keep the slice to the sushi makers at your favorite Japanese restaurants.
1. Get a good grip with your fingers instead of the palm of your hand — when you come down with the swing, you should see a minimum of 2 knuckles of the left hand.
2. In golf, like in poker, knowing when to fold is a good idea. Right around the time of the follow-through, straight-arming it will make that ball turn right faster than Rush Limbaugh.
3. Shoulders right — move left. Don’t aim to the left! You’ll leave your shoulders open. Instead, tilt your shoulders to the right when it comes to the address. Surprisingly, the ball will be forced into the correct route.
Trying these is a crucial first step to solving the slice, and making that ball move straighter. You’re well on your way to saying “sayonara” to the slice!

At first I thought I could fix the problem on my own, but as time went on, I realized I might need someone or something to help cure my slice. The worst part is that it was always happening at the worst times. If you play golf, I’m certain you can relate.
I tried certain clubs with good workability, but they didn’t do the trick. Their designs were too advanced for me and more for the higher caliber player. Finally, I took the opposite approach and went with a bigger clubhead that offers a lot more forgiveness. I didn’t exactly cure my slice, by certainly made an improvement. Once I figure it out, I’m sure I’ll start hooking the ball.
