    Golf Swing Tips? My swing needs help!

    I've just started playing golf and I have the worst slice, it goes about 50 yards to the right. If i aim to the left to even the slice out it goes farther to the right. I also can drive the ball farther with a 3 wood than my driver why? Anyone have any golf swing tips here to help me out?

    OK first of all aiming to the left makes your slice worst when you aim left you open up your shoulders your swing tends to follow your shoulder alignment with open shoulders you swing very upright and come into the ball from the severe outside causing a severe pull or dreaded slice.

    Here is your cure don't just aim right align your shoulders just left of your target get used to it will take time lay a club across your chest on the range make sure it is just left the reason is you set up along side of the golf ball doing all of this will make your swing a bit flatter and on plane this is the first cure to fix your slice.

    This change may feel awkward but feel is not real so give it time work on your set up and hit a light draw good luck.

    Works for me, I was having the same problem and I was told the same thing. Its going to take a long time to get use to doing it that way but it works.

    This sounds like a sensible way to fix a slice. I will have to try this myself.

    Here's my suggestion. Check your grip. Go look at a golf magazine of some sort and check your grip there. Even if it doesn't feel right in the beginning, you need to practice this. This will help cure a lot more of your golf problems than just your slice.
