Things You'll Need:
- Golf club
- Golf ball
-
Step 1
Make sure your preswing stance is correct. Your feet should be shoulder width part, with the golf ball resting almost in the middle but slightly toward your front leg.
-
Step 2
Identify the way to finish, or "release," your golf swing. Look at your hands directly after you hit the ball and where they are when you finish your swing. Most slices occur when the two hands do not break, leaving the club face open, angling your shot off to the right.
-
Step 3
Practice the proper release point of the swing without hitting a ball. Your right hand should turn through the swing, with an ending position crossed over the top of your left hand. This makes the the club's face turn and guide the ball away from the right, keeping the shot more centered.
-
Step 4
Use the wide grip to force the correct release point. Place your left hand at the top of the club like normal, then place your right hand under your left but leave a 3-inch gap in between the two hand placements. Hit the ball with this grip; it will force the correct ending position, which will get you out of your old slicing habits.
-
Step 5
Place the normal golf grip back on the club after having tried the wide grip golf swing. Using the same release point and feel of the swing you performed in Step 4, attempt to hit the ball without slicing it. If your slice returns, repeat these steps while worrying less about the distance you get on the shot and more about the proper form.
