What is the best driver for a slice?

45
Don't care why you slice and just want to hit the ballstraight? Here's the Best Drivers for a Slice:
  • TaylorMade M2 D-Type Driver.
  • Ping G400 SFT Driver.
  • Cobra F-Max Offset Driver.
  • Ping G SF Tec Driver.
  • Tour Edge Hot Launch 2 Offset Driver.


In respect to this, what is the best driver for someone with a slice?

#1 Best Driver for a slice – CobraMen's 2018 F-Max Offset Driver. If you're out for thebest Driver for a slice and you just don't care aboutany other factor, then the Cobra F-Max Driver with an offsetis the best Driver for you.

Similarly, why do I slice my driver? A slice shot is caused by a poor grip and setup,an outside-to-in downswing path and an open clubface. Anoutside-to-in path occurs when the golfer reaches too far on thedownside, bringing the club down to the right of the ball(outside), relative to the target line.

Similarly one may ask, will a draw driver help my slice?

Draw-bias designs also encourage a straighterball flight by featuring higher lofts, lighter shafts and moreupright lie angles. There's even evidence that with the CG closerto the heel, draw drivers help average golfers returnthe face to square at impact because the CG is closer to theshaft.

Does an offset driver cure a slice?

The offset hosel is designed to help correctflaws in your swing, usually those that cause a slice.Basically, it provides a split second of extra space for the playerto close the club face and keep it square throughimpact.

What is the advantage of an offset driver?

Offset places the clubface a fraction behind theshaft, giving the golfer an extra split-second to bring the club toa square impact position (relative to the target line). In additionto aiding accuracy, offset also moves the center of gravityslightly farther behind the ball, resulting in highershots.

What loft should my driver be?

Choose a loft to try based on your assessedclub-head speed. If it is between 95 and 104 mph, a 10- or11-degree loft will be appropriate. If it is between 105 and115 mph, a loft between 7 and 9 degrees should beconsidered. Golfers with club-head speeds below 85 mphshould use a loft angle between 14 and 20degrees.

What loft driver do pros use?

Most average swing speed golfers (88-90 mph) don'tuse enough loft in their drivers due to seeingthe pros using 9-10 degrees effective loft. Itypically recommend 10.5-13.0 deg loft for the avg. clubhead speed for maximum distance, particularly carry. This evenapplies for golfers up to 100 mph.

How do you hit a draw?

Golf Draw Method (Easier Version)
  1. Set up so that the club face is aiming slightly to the right ofyour target.
  2. Aim your feet, hips and shoulders further to the right than theclub face (this will, in effect, give the club face a closedposition in relation to the swing path, imparting draw spin on thegolf ball).

Does upright lie promote a draw?

The upright lie also promotes a lefttilting spin axis, which leads to what's generally described asdraw spin. An upright lie angle basically gives you ahead start, but depending on the severity of the slice conditionsthe golfer generates, it certainly won't guarantee adraw.

Does adding loft to a driver close the face?

Adjustable Hosels
Being able to adjust the loft allows golfers toachieve launch angles and spin rates that are suited well to theway that they deliver the club. When you adjust a hosel to increaseloft, you are actually closing the face fractionally.Conversely when you reduce loft you are open the faceslightly.

Does higher loft promote a draw?

Yes, loft affects bias somewhat. If youloft up you will increase the draw. If youloft down you will decrease the draw. In other wordsif I set my 10.5 driver to +1 or 11.5 then I slightly close theface and increase draw bias.

What does draw setting on driver do?

A lot of modern drivers give players options topromote a draw or fade bias. Some drivers helpgolfers achieve a draw bias through lie angle, pushing thetoe in the air to make it more upright and promote adraw. Many others allow players to shift some weightlaterally, particularly toward the heel to promote adraw.

What does an upright lie do to ball flight?

It also means that you are likely not swinging veryefficiently and thus costing yourself some swing speed anddistance. An upright lie angle means that the angle betweenthe shaft and the ground is larger than it should be, makingthe club shaft more upright compared to theground.

Does changing lie angle affect loft?

As you decrease the loft of a club by one degree,you reduce its bounce a degree at the same time. The bounceangle increases equal to the amount of any loftincrease. A one or two-degree change in the loft willnot cause a bounce or dig sole with today's clubs.

What causes a slice?

This visual challenge, called parallax, is causedby your eyes being to the side of the ball at address. Parallaxmakes slicers try to pull the ball to hit their target. But themore you swing left, the more likely the clubface will be open tothat path at impact, which causes a slice.

Why do I hit my driver so high?

Hitting the ball extra high with thedriver is generally a sign of too much backspin. Thiscan often be chalked up to your equipment, other times to yourswing, and sometimes traced to a simple flaw in your setup. Cure:Tee it higher – With the driver, about half the ballshould be above the top line of the face.

Why am I hooking the golf ball?

The better player hooks the ball for one primaryreason—their swing direction is too much from in to out, orout to the right. As a result, the clubface is closed relative tothe path of the clubhead, which causes the ball to startrelatively close to the target line and then curve wildly to theleft.

Over the Top is perhaps the most common swingfault among high handicap golfers. It occurs due to anoveruse of the upper body on the downswing. As a result theclub will be thrown on the outside of the intendedswing plane with the club head approaching the ball fromoutside to in.
