Slicing

kwildcat · 07-01-2007, 10:04 AM

All my driver swings off the tee slice terrible, some only fade a little. On all fairway shots and iron shots, my ball travels straight. I know something is majorly wrong on the tee box. I can hit a perfect 7 wood 190 yards, but most of my 1 woods travel only about 200-210 yards. Help me please. I have just switched to the interlocking grip, which may help some. I have tried swinging slowly but i have a suspicion the backswing may be my problem.

I have the same problem. My driver and three wood off the tee go right. My hybrd and irons are stright to a slight draw.

#1 Do not change your grip from your 7 wood grip
#2 Make sure you can see 2 or 3 knuckles of the left hand at address.
#3 Do you own a driver with 10.5% and more?
#4 Grip the club as soft as possible.
#5 Let me know how it goes.

I think I could take 10 or more strokes off my game instantly, if I could straighten my tee shot. The ole slice is my killer. Pls. give me simplest and most helpful tips.
Thanks, Ken Sykes

1. grip softly
2. shoulders aimed at or right of the target
3. 3 knuckles of the left hand showing at address

make sure your set up is square. a slight tilt due to lower right hand then take clubhead away low and slow slightly on the inside for18 inches when hip high club goes up as you turn

Hi , I'm very new to golf and have a ton of questions , I'm sure most can be answered by reading these posts but heres my first one.
How do you " softly" grip the club?

Exactly what it says SOFTLY...It will NOT fly out of your hands, do not worry. Hold the club gently and you can swing faster.
