What Causes Slice and What is a Typical Slice Pattern?

The golf slice is caused by an open clubface and an out-to-in swing path that creates a side spin on the ball.

Step-by-Step Understanding of How the Slice Movement is Created:

The first thing to consider here is the wrist extension. Golfers that slice the club have too much wrist extension at the top of their backswing and then again at impact.

With too much extension at the top of the swing, an over-the-top type motion or movement is created. As you pull down on the club, the extension increases (instead of decreases) and leaves you with an open clubface at impact.

Regardless of how you planned on squaring up the clubface, it’s almost impossible to do so once you get to this improper position in the backswing.

You react to the open clubface and try to avoid a big push to the right by swinging out-to-in.

This is an attempt to square the clubface, but it results in a big slice!

Typical Tour Player’s Pattern

For a tour player, you can see that the player is maintaining wrist extension in the backswing. From setup to the top of the backswing, there is consistency.

However, during the transition from top to impact, the player decreases the extension by bowing (or flexing) the wrist.

How to Fix Your Slice?

To fix your slice, you need to learn what the opposite of a slice pattern feels like. When you can establish this feel in your game, the consistency and accuracy are not far behind.

You need to close the clubface and hit with a more in-to-out club path. To do this, you need to flex the lead wrist – it will not only close the clubface but also shallow the club.

NOTE: With the clubface more closed, you will have to rotate with your body more during the swing. More body rotation is good for a powerful swing.

Golf Slice Fix with HackMotion’s Audio Feedback

With HackMotion, you can learn to decrease the extension from the top of the swing to impact by using audio feedback.

Based on a typical tour player pattern, you want to have approximately the same extension at the top of your backswing as at the address.

However, since the absolute values differ from player to player, don’t worry if your address position differs from typical tour players – the important part is the relative difference between these values.

Keep your setup and the top of your backswing position relatively close to the same, and then decrease the extension on the downswing.

How to start learning with audio feedback:

• Set up the audio feedback for the range recommended in the app.
• Whenever you are in this range, the app will provide an audio signal. If you are out of the range, you will hear nothing.

A Drill to Fix Too Much Extension

A great drill that helps to fix too much extension is the motorcycle drill. It is called that because it feels like you are controlling the throttle of a motorcycle.

Learn to close the clubface when it is too open:

1. Select the biofeedback range. Remember that the goal is to keep the extension stable during the backswing.
2. Now get to the top and do the motorcycle drill until you hear the audio feedback turning on.
3. Learn the feel of this position by doing slow rehearsals.

If you are a player that has a tendency to increase extension in transition, then work on adding flexion in transition.

Set the range and learn to make the motorcycle move in transition, around waist high. If you can get this feeling in your swing just a little sooner, the chance of squaring up the clubface increases considerably.

By following this step-by-step guide, you can successfully fix your slice and precisely track the changes in your wrist angles with HackMotion’s data!
