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.

Stop, Drop & Roll - How Exercise On a Foam Roller Relieves Tight Muscles

My idea of a lucky person is someone, who, after half a lifetime of being physically active, can spring out of bed without a bit of muscular soreness; no moaning, creaking or limping. It is a truly lucky athlete that can work their muscle vigorously for years and not feel the effects of aging, as in inflexibility and tightness.

Most of the rest of us get to a point where we just cannot keep up the pace. We cannot keep running the miles we are used to running without a price to pay when the morning alarm goes off. Some of this sensation is typical muscle soreness, just the usual buildup of lactic acid that accumulates a byproduct of exercise. Every jock recognizes the familiar feeling when you hustle up a flight of stairs and you feel that brief burn in your thighs that could kindle a campfire. But I am talking about a different kind of ache; something beyond the brief aching of a little extra activity.

If sprinting up a flight of stairs was the only time I ached, I'd be a happy camper.I've even been known to keep on working out, even through this quad burn. But I am talking about a different, more pervasive kind of tightness. The inflexibility to which I refer still lingers at noon. It is felt sometimes when you pivot to fasten your seatbelt or reach down to tie your sneakers. In my case, I tolerated this limitation in my bodily movement for about six months, trying all types of stretching, Pilates and tons of yoga classes.

Still, I was limited. I felt flexible, yet tight. I started to do some research on the Internet by Googling a few words that described my symptoms. I discovered a new word. The culprit in my bodily rigidity was something called FASCIA. Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and usually protects the muscles; bones, joints and even the organs, helping us maintain our upright posture. All people have fascia.

Think of it like a wetsuit that surrounds our inner body, just below the surface of the skin. Some people have thicker "wetsuits " than others. The more physically active you are, the thicker your facial "wetsuit" will be. This is a response that your body makes to help support itself during more activity Those lucky jocks that I enviously spoke of earlier feel minimal tightness because their fascia deposits are not thick or layered.

Some people just have a tendency to develop more fascia than others. Many experts believe that this heavier layering of fascia is related to dehydration, not the type of" I'm thirsty" dehydration, but a lack of fluid and therefore fluidity in the connective tissues that no amount of daily water drinking can quench. In other words, those lucky, pain-free jocks have more hydration in their connective tissue.

Us unlucky "stiffs" have the opposite tendency. Our body's inclination is to manufacture more fascia because of less hydration in the connective tissues, especially in the areas of powerful workhorse muscle groups, like the lower back and the thighs and buttocks. Also consider that as we age, bodies naturally lose their capacity to maintain hydration. Think of how many middle-aged men that you hear of who have torn their Achilles tendon while jumping for a lay-up in basketball. This type of injury rarely happens in kids and is due in a big way to lack of fluidity in the connective tissue.

So this is where the morning stiffness begins. If you keep exercising the way I did, this facial tightness can become very limiting to your fitness regime. This is where I discovered the wisdom in the phrase "Stop, Drop & Roll", but not just when you are on fire! I got myself a foam roller based on the fitness advice of New york City expert, Susan Hitzmann, owner of Longevity fitness, Inc in New Yourk City and creator of the M.E.L.T. Method. M.E.L.T. is an acronym for Myofascial Energetic Length Technique. Some experts also refer to this foam roller technique as Myofascial Release. She explained to me that deep compression of these areas of fascial tightness could actually rehydrate these stiff body parts and give an immediate sensation of relief to my aching yet athletic body. Not only was Ms. Hitzmann right about the foam roller. She also lives up to her promise of immediate relief from stiff muscles. She explains that the foam roller rehydrate connective tissues by first compressing the area, which decompresses the tissue, allowing hydration of that area to occur. It is similar to trigger point therapy, only this technique is superior. This is only my opinion but having tried both MFR and trigger point therapy, I believe that the foam roller can and does cover more anatomical territory, so the release is more profound.
