Things You'll Need:
- Golf clubs
- Range balls

Step 1
Make your grip stronger. What most people do is they hold their clubface too open at address indirectly having a weak grip. this doesn't refer to how tightly you're holding the grip. It refers to how your hands are lined up in relation to the clubhead. Simply rotate the clubface toward your "draw side" and turn your hands the other way so that the club still looks squared up address, but is actually more turned over because you had to turn your hands to your slice side to make it that way. This will help you get the clubface back to square at impact.
-
Step 2
Loosen your grip. Having a loose grip encourages more turning over of your forearms during the downswing. Some people hold the grip very tight thinking they get more power out of it. But golf is about good contact not raw power. So loosen your grip and you should be able to turn your hands over more during your swing.
-
Step 3
Put the ball more forward in your stance. This gives you more time to turn your hands over because it essentially lengthens your downswing.
-
Step 4
Lower the plane of your takeaway. When the plane of your backswing is too vertical, you tend to have an inside-out downswing, which causes a slice. Lowering the plane of your backswing promotes a more outside-in swing.
-
Step 5
Among other things, what a slice shows is that your hips are beating your hands. What that means is that your hips are turning sooner and/or faster than your shoulders and hands, which leaves the clubface open at impact. Try to make your hands faster relative to your hips to help correct your slice.
