If your an amateur golfer with a slice or fade.Here are some tips on how to reduce the slice in your golf swing.These are just what I worked on over the years to correct my slice. They are not from any book I just practiced and found they worked for me to fix my slice with the driver.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1
    Golf stance

    The slice is caused by opening the club face when you make contact with the golf ball causing it to slice or fade to the right if your right handed. First you need to have the proper distance from the golf ball. You should make sure to set up the same way every time. I place the golf club from my left knee to the ball,this keeps me at the same distance for most golf shots.You can try and open the toe of your left foot a little this will help you bring the golf club through with a better rotation of your hips and make square contact with the golf ball.

  2. Step 2
    Golf grip

    For the golf grip I make sure the my right thumb and first finger make a V pointing at my right shoulder with my left arm straight along the club shaft. If you grip the golf club and your right hand is turned to the right or center of the golf club it will cause you to open the club face at impact. Try and slow your swing down and concentrate on impact with the golf ball to point the club straight down the fairway as you follow through.

  3. Step 3
    Distance from golf ball
    Distance from golf ball

    You should go to the golf driving range and practice over and over the same golf swing . This will create muscle memory. Make sure to set up your golf stance properly each time before you start your golf swing. Hopefully these few golf tips will correct your slice or fade. I am just a armature and these golf tips are something I have practice and it has definitely corrected my golf slice especially with the driver and fair way woods.
