In this video, Golf Studio explains the primary causes of a golf slice by breaking down club path and face angle at impact. The lesson demonstrates that start line is largely dictated by face angle, while ball curvature stems from the relationship between the face angle and club path. Viewers learn how swinging from the inside helps align path with face angle to eliminate unwanted curvature.
Initial ball start line is determined about 85% by face angle at impact with a driver.
Ball curvature is created by the difference (gap) between the club face angle and the club path.
A classic slice occurs when an out-to-in path meets a club face that is open relative to that path.
Aiming further left often worsens a slice by forcing an even steeper out-to-in club path.
To eliminate curve, swing from the inside so your path matches the face angle.
