When you develop a slice in golf, it can stand as one of the great mysteries of your life. You have no idea how you got it and you have no clue how to get rid of it. The first thing you need to do is come to the admission that something in your swing changed to cause the slice. A slice is the result of something faulty in your swing, so when you suddenly develop a slice you have changed something in your swing that is causing the ball to take a hard right hand turn off the tee. There are many things that can cause a slice, but there are three main things that are usually the reason your tee shots are going sharply to the right.

A golf swing is easy to maintain once you get it right because you work hard to instill muscle memory in your body to remember how you accomplish the perfect swing. If you do not work hard to maintain that muscle memory, then your muscles have a tendency to forget how to get that perfect motion every time. A good golf swing should be a perfect circle from start to finish. Where people start to develop a slice is when they develop what is called an inside out golf swing. In other words, instead of swinging in a perfect circle you bring the golf club back inside of the swing and then follow through with an outside motion. This pushes the ball to the right on impact and causes a slice. The way to fix this is to invest in a swing guide. A swing guide is a circular training device that you stand inside and learn to swing in a perfect circle again. It is simply a black circle that you use as a guide when you swing. A couple of weeks with the swing guide should get that perfect circle motion back.

To maintain a good golf swing you need to maintain good rhythm. A good golf swing is a consistent back swing, followed by a fluid follow through with the whole thing working together to create the results you are looking for. Your hips need to be in concert with the rest of your body or else you will find yourself racing your hips through your swing, and then pushing the ball off to the right. If you are moving your upper body faster than your hips then you would get a hook to the left. Fixing this problem takes a bit of time, and may require some unconventional methods. Load up your portable MP3 player with some rhythmic music and hit the driving range. Classical music works great for this because classical music can sometimes go a very long time holding the same consistent rhythm and timing. Great ancient scientists such as Leonardo DaVinci used classical music as a way to keep time for their experiments. With a pedigree like that, you can bet that classical music will help you put the right rhythm back in your swing.

If you pull up on your swing then you are going to have problems with the results. Pulling up on your swing will either cause you to hit over top of the ball which will cause it to dribble harmlessly to the ladies tee, or it will cause you to hit off the toe of the driver which will cause a slice. A couple of things can cause you to pull up on your swing. The one that is the most common culprit is not keeping your eye on the ball. This punch line to many bad jokes is a vital necessity in golf. If you work to keep your eye on the ball, then you are forcing your head to stay down and in position, and this keeps your upper body down on your swing and solves the problem of pulling up. The other cause of pulling up on your swing is swinging too fast or too hard. The simple solution to this is to slow down your swing.

A slice is the golfer's nemesis. It can sneak up out of nowhere, and cost you a lot of money in skins every weekend. The first thing to do when the slice shows up is to not panic. Something is out of alignment in your swing and you need to fix it. Hit the range, go through the basics and take some good advice and you should have that slice solved in no time.
