Imagine you are playing golf in a beautiful setting. The fairway is like a sea of green before you. But then, the worst thing happens. Your drive takes a terrible right turn.

The slice is the most common culprit. A slice generally occurs when the clubface strikes the ball at an angle, creating excessive, unwanted spin. What is the goal? To square up the clubface to the ball and send your shot directly down the fairway, like a laser splitting butter clean in half. Spend a few minutes practicing your grip. Seriously, your grip can often be as telling as a poker hand. A weak grip-where the hands rotate toward the target-can be the silent culprit. Your knuckles should be saying hello. That is to say, grip the club so that you can see two to three of them. Consider holding hands with a friend instead of strangling the garden hose. Your grip should be a balance between firmness and flexibility. Imagine that you're about to take a photo, just for argument sake. Perfect posture is important. Set up with most of your weight on your back foot; as you make your swing through, shift your weight forward. Like an old grandfather clock, the pendulum moves back and forth in a smooth motion. That balance will take even the scrawniest of swings and make it more graceful than chaos.
