How To Fix A Golf Slice

This section focuses on understanding and correcting a golf slice.

For a right-handed golfer, a slice is a ball flight that starts left of the target and curves to the right.

This distinction matters, because many golfers describe their miss as a slice when they are actually hitting a push or a push-slice — a ball that starts right of the target and may curve further right.

The coaching in this section begins by clarifying ball-flight patterns so the underlying issue is identified correctly.

From there, it presents a range of drills and adjustments designed to influence how the club approaches the ball and how the clubface and path interact at impact.

Each drill addresses the same underlying problem in a slightly different way. Some will suit certain golfers better than others, depending on movement patterns and feel.

The intention is to give you multiple options so you can identify which approach produces the most reliable improvement for you.

You can work through the material selectively, returning to specific drills as needed rather than following everything in a fixed order.

Finding the Right Drill for Your Slice

There’s no single drill that works equally well for every golfer.

Rich demonstrates 15 different ways of encouraging the club to approach the ball on a better path. Some drills focus on your setup, others on the movement of your body or the direction of your swing.

The important thing is to find an approach that makes sense to you and produces an improvement you can repeat.

Rather than trying everything at once, work through the drills, experiment with the ones that feel useful and spend some time practising the movements that help your ball flight.
