  1. I have a hard time getting the club face square at impact. This causes me to slice often. I try to remember to rotate my hands but it doesn’t help as much as I’d like. Any tips?

    So see a PGA teacher/Instructor. It is very difficult to provide any assistance without seeing your stance, swing, etc. They are pros and well trained in correcting your problem. If you are serious about correcting it, find a pro in your area.

    Those of us on this forum are loyalists just like yourself. There might be an instructor of two on here. But they need to see your "hit" the ball.

    There are several things that can lead to a slice. You need to see an instructor who can analyze your swing and point you in the right direction.

    Everyone has this issue every once in awhile, what i have found for myself, is using a stronger grip and depending on the driver you have the settings being adjusted could always help too, from what i have been told so if i am wrong someone please correct me, if you adjust the loft and increase ith from lets say 10.5 to 11.5 it will naturally close the face more at impact. if thats is an issue for you off the tee!

    Adjusting the Surefit with more loft actually opens the face more. Like others here have said, slices can be grip related but more commonly driven by an over-the-top out to in swing path and a good instructor would be the best solution. Spend a little money now to avoid years of frustration ahead (as I know from experience).

    You are SO right Dale!!!
  7. Normally the slice is caused more by your grip and setup then your actual swing.. in my experience the number one problem is your left shoulder position which is facing too far left of your target!. This is caused by the natural reaction of most new players to have their right arm straighter and on top of their left arm which opens their shoulders to the Target line. Two ways to help. Soften your right elbow, that is let it be bent and closer to your body then your left elbow which should be fairly firm and straight but not rigid. Now from your address position just turn your head towards the Target and make sure you can see your left shoulder without turning your head to look at it. I also encourage you to drop your right foot back approximately an inch and a half to 2 in from the target line. This will not only help you get your left shoulder square it will make your back swing flexibility better.
