Why This Drill Works (Kinetic Mechanics)

Slicers often set up with level shoulders, promoting an over-the-top path. Adding tilt forces an in-to-out path and upward angle of attack.

How to Perform the Drill

Follow these step-by-step instructions. Rehearse slowly to build proper motor patterns before adding full swing speed.

  1. 1

    Step 1

    Setup normally with Driver.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Drop your trail shoulder lower than your lead shoulder (create spine tilt away from target).

  3. 3

    Step 3

    Feel like you keep your back to the target longer in transition.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Swing out to 'Right Field'.

What Good Feels Like

Focus on smooth tempo and maintaining body connection through impact. Your body and club should move as a single synchronized unit.

Common Mistake to Avoid

Rushing transition before completing backswing or lunging upper body forward towards ball at impact. Keep movement controlled.

How to Fix a Golf Slice

A slice comes from an open clubface relative to an out-to-in swing path at impact. Fix it by neutralizing a weak grip, adding shoulder tilt at address, and shallowing your downswing so the club approaches from the inside instead of over the top: that squares the face to a path that no longer cuts across the ball.

Not sure this is your real fault?

Upload one swing video and our AI will identify whether slice is actually what's costing you strokes, using physics-backed metrics and a practice plan matched to what it finds. Your first analysis is free.
