How to Cure a Golf Slice

Every golfer needs to know to cure a golf slice, even if it is only a temporary fix if a slice develops on the course to let you finish your round without too much damage. The reason for this is that every golfer slices the ball at one time or another. Even tiger woods has been known to slice into the trees occasionally.

To be able to fix a slice you have to know the possible causes. The dreaded banana shot happens because you have put a clockwise spin on the ball. This creates a difference in air pressure between the side spinning into the direction travel and the side spinning away from it.

The spin is imparted because your club face is not squared up to direction of your shot at the moment of strike. If your shot is straight to the target, then you will slice the ball if your club face has not had time to be square to the ball. You are not bringing the golf club round quickly enough and the club face is at an angle when it strikes the ball.

This makes it spin clockwise, and curves it round like a banana. Not immediately, because it takes time for the spin to take effect, but it will happen, and once it starts curving the curve quickly becomes more and more pronounced. A counter-clockwise spin would turn into a hook.

You also slice because, although your club face is straight onto the line to the target, your swing is not. You are swinging across the ball from outside to inside the correct line, and again the club face is not square to the direction of swing, and spins the golf ball. There are a few things you can do to put this right.

first, since your sliced ball is landing well to the right of target it might make sense to aim to the left. However, since you are by definition playing a curved shot, you will lose distance because you are not hitting in a straight line. This is not a good way to cure a slice, but if you are on the course it might do until you finish the round and can get expert help.

A better way is to adopt a stronger grip. To do that you simply grip your club exactly as you normally do, address the ball, then before your backswing move your hands clockwise round the shaft. Just a small amount will be enough. Then play your shot. This will make your club face straighten up quicker and you will either slice less or will have cured the slice. If the former, then move your hands round a little bit more on the next shot. Dont overdo it, or you will straighten the club up too early, and will hook the ball.

If you are swinging across the ball then you should move your feet so that they are more in line with the target. If they are already in line, and you still swing across the correct line, then as a temporary measure move your feet round towards right of the target. This will straighten your swing up till you finish the round, but you really need to have your swing analyzed.

There are a few reasons for swinging across the ball, most of them connected with your swing mechanics. You will probably not be able to correct that yourself, though you could try to make sure that you are not over-rotating your shoulders so that they are crossing the line to the target too early. Make sure that your chest does not cross the ball before you hit it, or that you are not hitting down into the ball rather than straight through it.

Any of these can cause your swing to pull to the right while your clubface is straight to the ball. Most of these might need some professional help to put right and if you have tried the quick fixes described above without solving the problem ask your club pro to run an eye over your swing. A professional can often spot the problem without having to use video analysis.

first, however, try the stronger grip and the change of stance on the driving range, and keep making adjustments until you get some results. If you are swinging across the ball a stronger grip will not help, so if doing that makes no difference then you know that your problem lies in your stance or your swing mechanics.

In that case, if a change of stance closer to the target does not help, then you probably need some professional help. Do not despair though. Any slice is curable: it is simply a matter of finding out where your swing is going wrong and adjusting to put it right. Many golfers have given the game up due to their slice, but there is no need for you to do that. Just take this advice on how to cure a golf slice and you will be back to your normal good game in virtually no time.

Fat Loss and Diets - My Experience

No matter where you look today, you will find or see something to do with fat loss or diets. The mass majority of them will either say all or high protein and no carbohydrates or just the opposite. I have tried to diet with both of these concepts.

The protein diet for fat loss. I must say it was the fastest way for me to drop 30 pounds. I did it in 30 days. I eat nothing but meats, fish, nuts and very little amounts of vegetables and fruits. I held my carbs to less than 25 grams a day. I also held my calorie intake to 1200 a day or less. And most days it was under that. This will put your body in to a state of ketosis. This forces your body to burn your fat. It has no carbohydrates to use for fuel. For me the side effect of this diet was constipation. Not a very pleasant thing at all.

After dropping all of my weight I began to eat as I did before going on the protein only diet. Needless to say I gained all of my weight back and then some.

Next I thought I would give the no fat Fat loss diet a try. So basically I ate everything that had no fat to it. now here is were it can get very interesting. If you eat allot of grains or grain products, like breads, sugar rich foods you will lose nothing and probably gain allot of weight. I could not loss any weight at all till I started to eat only fruits and vegetables. Here again I had to eat only a small amount to lose any weight at all. I will say to I did not lose the weight I lost on the protein diet. I tired of it very quickly and gave up on it. I will also say with both diets I was on I did not exercise at all.

Still looking for that magic bullet I ran across a diet that will let you eat both carbs and protein. The best of both worlds so to speak. now there are curtain foods that you should stay away from, like refined grain products, breads crackers and that kind of foods. anything with sugar it it also. now you can eat meats, fish and proteins. Also carbohydrates like most vegetables and fruits. All of the allowed fruits and vegetables are high in fiber to help keep you feeling full longer. I am just now giving this diet a try. In about a week I did lose 4 pounds. It is not as fast as the protein diet but I think it is allot healthier.

I think one of the most important things you must do in order for any diet to work is that you have to be in the right mind set. Also no matter what you are eating you can not over eat anything. Face it! dieting is nothing but a numbers game. You must take in less calories than you are burning to lose any weight.
