Last Friday I went to my local golf shop (Edwin's Golf) and I ended up getting new clubs. I've always had a slight slice, and sometimes it didn't effect play. While I was getting fitted for my new clubs the older gentleman (who was a 7 year tour player) told me right away I was slicing the ball…my grip. He went over the proper way hold my club, fixed my stance a little and now hit the ball farther and straighter then I have EVER. I'm not saying this is the answer, but it sure fixed mine. If you have an Edwin's Golf near you maybe try going in and try hitting a few balls. They may end up giving you some great advice.

You don't want to close the face at impact, you need to just swing on the correct path with a square face.

You don't want to do that because all you are teaching them is to turn there hands over through impact, you don't want to turn your hands over through impact. If they are slicing the ball, the bal

If your shot starts straight like you mentioned previously and then curves, your club face is aimed at the target, but the path is out to in. If it starts right and curves, then the face is open.

Want to share the new grip/stance fixes he gave you?

Maybe it can help me out as well.

Try a stronger grip, this may help.

An instructor told me that I was slicing because I was gripping too hard with my right hand.  Sure enough, if I loosen my grip with my right hand (and if I do everything else I'm supposed to) no slice!

      Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs.

      It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
