The biggest problem that golfers face is slicing the ball, especially off the tee. Statistics show that over 80% of golfers at all levels struggle with slicing the ball. A slice will not only affect your accuracy, it steals valuable yards from your drives.

If you want to control your slice on your drives, you must understand what is causing it. A slice is caused when you are putting left to right spin on it on the golf ball. There are basically two things that will cause this to happen. You are either impacting the ball with an open club face or you are cutting across the ball at impact. The tips that I will go over, if followed will help to correct either of these flaws in your swing. Here are 3 tips to help control your slice on your drives

Alignment- Alignment is a big problem for many golfers. Improper alignment will lead to errant shots. You must make sure that your body is aimed correctly if you are to strike the ball squarely. An easy way to practice your alignment is to place two golf clubs parallel to your target line when you are practicing at the driving range.

Use the one club to line up your feet, hips and shoulders and the other club to line up your club face to the target. It may appear that you are aiming right of your target, but that is an optical illusion. Once you get accustomed to lining up this way, it will be easier to line yourself up properly on the golf course.

Grip- The grip is the only point that your body makes contact with the golf club. There are different ways to grip theMizuno MX-700 Driver, (overlapped, interlocked or even a baseball grip) but no matter which is most comfortable to you, the way they are positioned on the golf club will make a big difference in your results. When gripping the club the important thing is to have a neutral grip. This is where the palms of your hands are facing each other and are perpendicular to the ground.

Tempo- You can have everything else right and if your tempo is too fast you are in trouble. Many amateur golfers think that in order to generate maximum club head speed, they have to swing faster. Swinging to fast is an absolute killer.

When you try to force a powerful swing by swinging faster than normal, your shoulders get out in front of the rest of your body which causes you to cut across the ball, producing that ever familiar slice. You want to have a smooth rhythmic swing.

This doesn't mean that you won't generate any power, you will just be more in control and your swing will feel effortless. By doing so you will be letting your body and your arms work more in sync and this will generate club head speed without affecting your balance or your alignment. Give these 3 tips to help control your slice on your drives. Not only will you hit more fairways, you will gain distance in the process.
