CURE YOUR SLICE
When a person first tries to hit a golf ball, they will inevitably slice the ball. The longer the club the further they will slice it.
Most golfers will inevitably swing the club in what is known as an ‘out-to-in’ downswing path. Not because they want to, but because that is what the body naturally does when you try to hit a golf ball straight. This will usually cause a dreaded slice and a shot lacking in power.
The Red Out to In downswing path will usually cause a weak slice or pull shot. The ideal downswing path to hit the ball long and straight is the Green ‘in-to-out downswing path.

To avoid the dreaded slice the golfer needs to aim the clubhead down and out towards the ball at an angle, across the target line This is known as an ‘in-to-out’ downswing path.
The second important part of stopping the slice is to allow the natural release of the clubface to naturally close to and through the golf ball. When this release of the clubhead is on the correct downswing path there will be a constant rate of closing of the clubface that will compress the ball and have the ball fly straight to its target.
GOLF IS A 2 TARGET GAME
While you want the ball to travel to the target and ideally set your stance up so that the shoulders, hips, knees, and feet are parallel with the target line, there is another target, the actual ball itself. To hit this ball with power and accuracy, you need to deliver the clubhead down and across the target line as per the red direction of the hit line above. This is also called the A to B Line, with the A being the clubhead at the top of the backswing and B being the ball.
The ball’s target is the flag or a section of the fairway
The clubhead’s target is the ball, which should be hit so as to compress it deep into the ground
