Altering the way you grip your golf club is the next step in curing your golf slice. As you grip the club using your left hand, be aware that your thumb should rest alongside the shaft. Look down and check that the contour amid index finger and thumb is in the direction of your right eye. Now that you’re sure your fingers are in the right position, drape your right hand on top of your left while letting your left thumb lie in the palm of your right hand.

This almost always makes the ball tend to the left. Note that the reverse happens when referring to a slice. The ball may tend to the right as a limp grip produces an open club face.

What you want to do to fix a golf slice set off by the wrong grip is position your non-dominant back hand in front of the target, as the dominant back hand looks toward the other direction. This can be accomplished by rolling your hands rearward. Like correcting one’s stance, one can also prepare his proper club grip at a driving range so he may find out if this may be a factor in his slicing of the ball. Again, simply feeling it out while continuing to alter your grip may be all you need to cure your golf slice.

It begins with the hands and then goes into the arms and shoulders.

A downswing on the other hand, should start at the hips as you have both eyes set on the ball and your head after it at the follow through. Working on a proper golf swing will again be beneficial to shedding strokes off your game.

Keep in mind that tiny alterations really do have an affect on your performance as a golfer. It may sound cliché, but its true—practice makes perfect. Good luck!
