Hitting slices can be caused by a number of different reasons. One that I see quite often is poor wrist conditions throughout the swing. Most often, too much lead wrist extension accompanied by too much trail wrist flexion. In reality, if you want to hit the ball straighter, your wrist conditions should be the opposite of this; i.e. you need more lead wrist flexion and trail wrist extension.
You can have the lead wrist extending at address, the take away and even at the top of the swing. However, to eliminate hitting slices, it is important that your lead wrist moves into flexion and your trail list into extension. The sooner this happens in transition the better your ball striking will become.
In this video, I give a very simple way to fix faulty wrist conditions and the device used is something many of you have in your closet…a hanger.

What is The Golf Paradigm (Pair-a-dime)?
The Golf Paradigm is a theory that encompasses a Whole-In-One approach to improvement. It begins with the overall paradigm; i.e. the game of golf. Followed by two parts that are always to remain in balance; i.e. the golf yin/yang – ‘improving’ and ‘enjoyment’. Helping to maintain that balance are the 5 elements of the game; the swing, club fitting, health/fitness, mental, and integration. Knowing which area to focus on and how the other areas supplement that helps to form the golfers ‘recipe’ for improvement. As the golfer improves their recipe, or what is focused on, changes and this is what allows them to reach levels of play they never thought possible. It’s not magical, but it’s close.
