Riggs said that you can use an alignment stick parallel left to your target. But out of nowhere it is reappearing and your whole round is falling apart.
How can you salvage your swing, and your score? That last step sounds scary. Trying to swing right when all you want is for the ball to go left can feel almost impossible. To eliminate the slice you need the proper grip and setup, an inside-to-out downswing path and a square clubface.
After making these corrections you can enjoy a slice-free golf game. Grip the club with the left hand first again, for a right-handed golfer. Position the grip mainly in the fingers of your left hand. With the club grounded, you should be able to see at least two knuckles of your left hand as you look down at the club. Golfers with a big slice should strive to see three knuckles of the left hand. The "V" formed by your left index finger and thumb should point toward your right shoulder. Set your right-hand grip to compliment the left.
The "V" formed by your right index finger and thumb should also point to your right shoulder. If you rush your swing, your hands will likely get to the ball before you have done a full body turn. This will block the ball off to the righ and result in a slice. Decelerating through impact slows down the clubface into impact. This opens the clubface. Your hands are already leading the clubhead; when you decelerate, you don't rotate your wrists through impact.
As you make your backswing, your weight shifts toward your back leg. On the transition to the downswing, your weight shifts back toward center and eventually to your forward foot on your follow-through. If you don't make that weight shift from your back foot to your forward foot, your "center" will be too far behind the ball. Step 2: After a few swings begin to roll your hands over sooner. This will promote the feeling of squaring or even slightly closing your hands at impact.
A square clubface will create a straight shot and slightly closed will help produce a draw. Step 1: With a 6 or a 7 iron, keep your feet together and make as much backswing as you can. The club should be lower than normal as your feet are together creating a narrow swing path. Step 2: Without moving any part of your body let gravity drop your arms. Your right elbow should hit your side and allow the club head to fly out. This should make the butt end of the club should come up close to your face.
This is a practice drill that you do not do with a golf ball! If you are doing this incorrectly the cub will wrap around your body producing the pull slice. As I mentioned, aiming left only makes the slice miss even more to the right. Instead of aiming farther to the left, try to tee off the right side of the box.
This will give yourself more fairway and room to work the ball off the left side of the fairway or rough. Your clubface at impact determines if you slice, draw or hit the ball straight. The higher swing speed and longer shaft of a driver make squaring up this club the hardest. Again, if you are hitting a monster slice your club face MUST be open at impact.
You need to work on squaring up the face sooner on your downswing.
