Do you feel that the main obstacle in improving your golf game is the slice?  If so, you’re not alone!  Many recreational golfers feel that if they could just hit their drives straight, the rest of their game would be so much easier.  Actually, this is true!  Long par 4’s and par 5’s can be a nightmare to a golfer who slices the ball, because once they slice the tee shot, they find that they are playing catch-up the rest of the hole.

Today, I want to share with you some tips on how to fix a golf slice.  You can use these tips to bolster your game, and start losing that slice immediately!

Tip 1:  Balance is KEY – A middle infielder waits on the pitch by keeping his knees bent, facing the plate and keeping his weight balanced evenly on both feet, so that he can quickly react to the hit, and run to the left or the right. The golf swing requires the same balance. Bend your knees, face the ball, and don’t start off the shot by leaning in any direction.  You’ve probably seen many  “once-a-year” golfers making this mistake.  They start the swing off with their weight way off balance.  Doing this dooms the swing before you begin. Keeping yourself balanced is crucial, as is keeping the knees bent and being properly set.

Tip 2: WATCH the Left Arm – One trick many experienced golfers use requires only a watch and your golf club.  Take a watch and put it on upside down, where the face of the watch is on the underside of your wrist instead of the top of your wrist.  Now, watch that left arm while you slowly swing.  If your watch is facing the ground during your backswing, than you’re opening up your clubface.  Throughout your swing, make sure you can see the face of your watch.  If you can, than you’re properly rotating your wrist, closing the face of the club, and dramatically lessening the chances of hitting a slice.

Tip 3: Proper Grip –  The grip is not something many consider when they are troubleshooting their swing.  But a bad grip can ruin a swing, no matter how good it looks.  A good test to make sure you have the proper grip is to insert two golf tees between your thumb and the webbing of your hand while gripping the club.  If the tees point toward the target, than your weak grip is a typical slicer’s mistake.  Make sure both tees are pointing straight in front of you, which will show that you are gripping it properly.

equipment - what you need to get started

Like any sport golf requires you to possess the correct equipment to play from golf clubs to accessories.

There are many brands and types of golf clubs including drivers, fairway woods, rescue clubs, irons and putters. Each type of golf club has a relevant purpose on the golf course; the driver for example is used from the tee for long distance shots, the irons are used for short approach shots – approaching the green and naturally the putter is used for finishing. Which golf club you choose and at which stage of the game is a combination of personal preference and experience.

A golf bag is used to transport and protect your clubs to and from the golf course and throughout the game. There are four main types of golf bag including carry, stand, trolley and light editions – which bag you select is usually down to both personal preference and requirements e.g. number of golf clubs or how you intend to transport the bag and clubs around the golf course. If you prefer to not use a golf trolley then a stand or carry bag is suitable. A number of golf bags offer protection for graphite shafts – whilst individual dividers prevent clubs from smashing into each other. All golf bags supply a number of storage pockets for the safe keeping of golfing accessories including golf balls, towels and valuables.

A head-cover is another item of golf equipment which can offer an excellent degree of protection for golf club heads including drivers, woods, hybrids and irons.

Golf shoes are a compulsory addition to any golfing outfit and are needed to provide additional grip when performing a shot. A high quality pair of golf shoes will offer breathability and waterproofing for optimal comfort in most playing conditions. Manufacturers have replaced metal spikes with plastic ones in recent times to prevent unnecessary damage to the course – the spikes also facilitate a golf swing, preventing a player from slipping when delivering a shot. When selecting a pair of golf shoes be sure to select a durable pair which can deliver maximum comfort when walking the full length of a golf course. If you do not feel comfortable with your golf shoes you are likely to lose concentration more quickly – which is non-conducive for inspiring confidence.

Golf tees are another necessary addition to a golfing outfit. Two types of tees are available to players either plastic or wooden ones. A golf ball is balanced on top of the tee to allow players to strike the ball from off the ground – typically used for a tee-shot.

A golf glove is another addition to a players golf outfit and is traditionally worn on the opposite hand – if you’re right-handed for example a glove is worn on the left-hand. During a swing a golf glove prevents the club from slipping through the hand by offering an additional level of grip. There are many different types of golf glove – each designed to worn snugly to the hand as though it was second layer of skin.

A golf trolley allows a player to push, pull or transport a set of golf clubs and bag across a golf course – eliminating the strain of carrying a heavy set of golf clubs and therefore maintaining the energy of the player for stronger, most accurate golf swings. An electric golf trolley allows a player to transport their golf clubs by aid of an electronic motor which is powered by a long-life battery.

These are fundamental items of equipment for playing golf which can be purchased from various online retailers including The Sports HQ. Historically, golf equipment was expensive to purchase before online retailers like The Sports HQ offered savings of up to 85% on factory direct golf equipment.
