Why You Slice - and How GOLFTEC Fixes It

At GOLFTEC, we’ve analyzed swing data from thousands of golfers and consistently found one frustrating commonality: the dreaded slice. As Golf.com recently highlighted in their feature,  "2 Huge Reasons Golfers Slice the Ball - and How to Fix Them," the slice is a combination of two key issues: an open clubface and an over-the-top swing path. At GOLFTEC, we've developed proven, data-driven solutions to tackle exactly those problems.

‍

1. Open Clubface at Impact

What's going wrong:

• Many golfers present the clubface 3-5 degrees open at impact, pinpointing it right of their swing path. That’s a recipe for a heavy slice.

‍

GOLFTEC Fix:

• We begin with a grip adjustment, strengthening left-hand placement and rotating right-hand position to promote a square or slightly closed face at impact.
• Our coaches use visual markers on your hands and club to replicate the correct setup consistently - and reinforce it with OPTIMOTION data to track improvement.

‍

2. Over-the-Top Swing Path

What’s Going Wrong:

• Slicers often start the downswing with an over-the-top motion - dropping shoulders early and swinging the club across their body in an out-to-in path.

‍

GOLFTEC Fix:

• We focus on maintaining a swing plane, promoting an inside-out path through drills like the box obstacle drill and wall-range drill.
• Using video capture and motion metrics, we see exactly when your hands and club drop out of the plane - and train you to keep them in line.

How We Put It All Together

1. Swing Evaluation: coaches use OPTIMOTION and swing data to identify face angle and swing path issues.
2. Targeted Drills: Grip drills to square the face and path drills to correct swing mechanics.
3. Performance Tracking: Data feedback ensures improvement is measurable and repeatable.
4. Consistent Reps: Reinforce muscle memory with purposeful practice until the new swing feels natural.

Why This Works

• Data-driven coaching gives you clarity - no guessing what went wrong
• Customized drills are based on your diagnostics - no generic advice
• Immediate feedback keeps corrections precise and rapid
