I Never slice!

[augolfer81]

Like the title to my thread states; I really dont ever slice. I almost always draw the ball, with both driver and Irons. The problem is I have a hard time controlling it. Obviously my clubhead is being closed on impact but I dont use a strong grip and I try to extend right down the target line. Its really cool to be able to almost always draw the ball down the fairway with my driver when hardly anyone else can but sometimes it gets me in trouble and I want to be able to control it. Its even more severe with my irons, the shots start out towards my target then turn left of the target, most very gracefully. Most of my shots are draws, less than half are dead straight and everyonce in a while I hit a really ugly hook. Out of the hundreds of balls I hit everyday not one is a slice! Its a blessing and in some ways a curse, how can I control it?

well now its time for the next stage of the game learning how to work the ball at will, just takes a lot more practise,

Actually I can, I forgot to mention that. I work the ball but I draw or hook when Im trying to hit the ball straight, thats the problem.

Hi,

Check if you stop rotating or decelerate your hips through the impact area, this could be one of the reasons.

Re: I Never slice!

Your draw will have been created either by you hitting In - to - Out, or by closing your stance and aiming the clubface at the target, both can create a draw. Don't ever do both together though.

The simplest method to shape a shot is to align your self in the direction you wish the ball to start off with while rotating the club so the face points in the direction you wish the ball to end up. Then hit along the line of your feet.

Re: I Never slice!

First tell us what kind of grip you have. Here are some good links describing the grip:

http://golf.about.com/od/golftips/ss/golfgrip_lead.htm

http://www.pga.com/improve/tips/setu...ajar100504.cfm

http://golfzone.sportsradio1300.com/tips5.html

On that first web page, be sure and follow the links for the "Trailing Hand" when you finish the ones for the "Lead" hand.

When you understand your grip. Go the the following link and play the video:

When this is done you should be thoroughly confused. Seriously though, it should help us and you understand your swing better. I am no pro but have done a lot of research lately that has been very helpful to me. Just thought I would share it.
