Step-by-Step Slice Fix

Jonathan Buchanan

A lot of golfers struggle with a slice from the first time they pick up a club. Before long, everything they do in their setup and swing becomes a reaction to seeing shots that curve to the right. In this video series, we examine the root causes of the slice and the quickest cures.

5:47

The Setup

Most slices can be traced back to errors at address. As a reaction to seeing shots curve to the right, slicers get into positions in the setup that only increase their chances of cutting across the ball with an open clubface—and that’s slice city! In this video, teacher Jonathan Buchanan shows how slicers can reverse the sequence that causes a slice and hit a draw instead.

5:26

The Swing

With a better handle on the proper setup, slicers can start to focus on a few moves during the swing that can stop the ball from going right. Things like staying relaxed, letting the weight shift naturally and syncing up your arms and body during the swing. Here, Jonathan Buchanan shares his best advice for making an anti-slice swing.

Anti-Slice Checkpoints

Another good way to tackle your slice is to focus on checkpoints. Most slicers get into the same faulty positions, like the weight staying back on the downswing or the left wrist being cupped (bent back) at the top. In this video, Jonathan Buchanan shows you where to look and what to look for so you can start straightening out your shots.
