As we learned in the last section to cure your slice you must change your thinking of how the backswing begins. The swing begins with our arms, and the hands, shoulders and body react to the weight of the golf club swinging back. The top of the golf swing is an important phase of the swing. Why? Because we can easily evaluate our swing since the swing is traveling relatively slowly at this point also because the transition, or change in direction, from the backswing to the downswing occurs at the top of the swing. Let see what we need to analyze.

It all comes down to physics. The way our club approaches impact, the angle of the club face at impact, the speed in which we swing the club, how solid we strike the ball, and the path in which we swing the club contribute to the distance and direction the golf ball flies. These are the 5 laws of impact: angle of approach, club face angle, speed, centeredness of the hit, and swing path. In the world of a slice the two we need to concentrate on are the swing path and the club face angle. You may argue that angle of approach is a factor but it is normally corrected when the swing path is corrected.

Most every one who has played golf has been afflicted with a slice. Standing on the first tee and seeing the lake to the right of the fairway, you adjust your aim and stance to ensure that you will miss the lake.
