One of the most common causes of a slice is simply
poor body alignment. Many golfers position their feet
before they place the club behind the ball. Think
about it like this. If you were firing a rifle, you’d swing
the barrel round to where you want it to aim and
your body would follow suit. The same procedure is
true in golf. If you aim the blade and the shaft
correctly, your good grip will encourage the rest of
your body to fall into line. Here’s how to get it right.
