Fix Your Golf Slice
The cause of a slice is an open clubface. While there are many reasons for an open clubface at impact, one of the more common ones is a golfer's attempts to keep the clubface square to the target after contact with the ball as in picture one.
It sounds logical to keep the clubface square to the target as long as possible but your attempts to do so will always result in an open clubface at impact.
To create a square clubface at impact, the club must be in the process of closing as it passes through the ball. Another way of describing an open clubface is one that hasn't closed soon enough in the forward swing. To hit the ball straight, the clubface must begin closing well before impact and continue to close as it swings through the impact zone.
To learn this motion, begin with short swings that end at waist height so you can visually check that the clubface looks like picture two when it reaches waist height in the follow through.
