Ok so i have a slice i know more then 1 thing is causing it but last time out i noticed on hole 18 in my Stance my front foot was always about 1 inch or so back from my back foot towards target.. so A my aim would be off ... Also im wondering if since i was still trying to hit to where i wanted if that would have been biggest issue causing my slice i know this isnt the best post but advice if any

Since you mentioned an open stance, I would recommend at least checking all of your quick fundamentals (aim/stance, grip, posture) just to make sure they're doing fine. Other than that, it's a bit hard to tell exactly what is causing your slice (besides the face being open to the path) without a swing video. I would bet though that it's likely partially due to coming over the top, but I wouldn't say that's exactly what is causing the slice without seeing a swing.

Where the feet are aligned doesn't necessarily affect how you swing. That said, if you do swing along your toe line, an open stance would promote more of a leftward swing.

An inch left or "open" isn't going to cause a big slice. More likely your weight isn't far enough forward or you're aimed way more left than you think.

    • Day 107 - More pitching practice, playing around with trajectory. 
    • Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
