Anti Slice Grip for Golfers

Anti Slice Gripfor Golfers Slicers have generally been taught to have a stronger grip (i.e. the left hand moves slightly further to the left side of the shaft) to encourage them to rotate the clubface closed through impact. But in some cases this isnt the best way to go as some will learn to hold the face even more open and thus make their problem slice even worse! Often a more neutral or weaker grip (i.e. where the left hand is rotated more to the left of the shaft, so that the thumb runs only very slightly down the left side of the shaft) will work better as the slicer ends up having to rotate the face closed himself. In the long term, this will help create a draw shape in combination with a few simple swing tips when trying to rid their game of the dreaded slice. Now of course as well as the Grip, another common fault which slicers come up against concerns the stance. You need to double check the alignment of your feet. Clearly they must be square to the target line, but slicers have a tendency to have an open stance. An open stance occurs when the left foot is a couple of inches or more back from the square line. This has the effect of creating an out to in swing, which means that on the backswing the club travels back outside of the ball and then comes in across the body on the downswing, cutting across the ball. This results in slicing action across the ball from out to in, thereby imparting sidespin which causes the ball to start off left and then finishes way right of the target line. To cure this fault, take your stance and place a club along the toes of your feet. Now stand back and check to see if it is in line with the target. A slicer will probably find that the left needs to be pulled back, square to the target line. Hope this helps.
