To slice a golfball (or impart a left-to-right ball flight to a right-handed golfer), you must strike the ball so that it rotates clockwise. A more dramatic rotation will result in a more difficult or more severe golf slice.
To give context, this article is written from the point of view and swing of a left handed golfer.
The ball flight is defined by a few basic attributes. There is first, the slice that may move in a right to left direction from the line it started at. This is a slice that indicates the swing path did travel down the desired target line but the club face at impact was open. The club face didn’t return to square. This type of slice is not as strong because the swing path was not cutting through the ball from the outside to the inside. This style of cutting the golf ball can be more easily treated. This can be achieved by adjusting the setup of the golfer, aligning and gripping.
This second kind of slice affects both high- and beginning handicap golfers. This slice produces the “bananaball” type of flight, which is extremely frustrating and difficult to control.
These types of slices are good for golfers as the ball initially starts to go left from the target line. This indicates that your swing path has been incorrect. The ball will immediately start to go left from the target line and that indicates that you have moved your swing towards the inside.
Although it doesn’t guarantee you will slice the ball, you have simplified your swing enough to make it easier. Combining the outside to inner swing path with an open face at impact will result in a left-handed shot. It has both the double advantage of having a swing path that cuts across the ball and an open face. You have now created one delicious slice thanks to these laws of physics. This is one that proud parents would love. The one you know is the one. It travels 300 yards in total, but is only 220 yards farther down the course.
This type of slice can cause golfers to be more frustrated than usual. Their basic swing must also be improved. It is important that you understand the mechanics of your swing so that it makes it do what it does. Understanding the nine rules of ball flight will help you to quickly identify and correct the issues that are causing the ball to fly.
