STOP YOUR SLICE With This Simple Golf Training Aid

PGA instructor Michael Kanev demonstrates how to eliminate a golf slice using the TRS Slider training aid. By keeping the trailing right arm connected, the aid guides a proper takeaway, prevents an over-the-top downswing, and forces the arms to rotate through impact to square the clubface. Kanev shows how to practice with mid-irons and transition the connected feeling into regular swings.

• Keep your right arm connected to your body during the takeaway to prevent lifting the club or pulling it too far inside.
• Form a stable right-angle position with your trailing arm at the top of the backswing to keep the club on plane and prevent over-swinging.
• Allow the trail arm and body to rotate through impact to square the clubface rather than pulling across the ball.
• Practice making swings with mid-irons (7 or 8 iron) using the training aid, then immediately swing without it to retain the connected feel.
