Slice or Straight Right shot causes

Hi Tom. What could be the reason(s) that the ball slices or goes straight right when Iput my ball position at where 3rd ball right of neutral is on the eight ball grid.? Thx Rick. PS- any opinion on not looking at the ball but in front or in back of it?

@rberndhhs - On those slices is the ball's starting direction also to the right of the target line? This information will assist me in answering your question.

As for where to look, there have been a couple of recent posts about this that might be helpful. My thoughts are also included in the first of these threads:

- Eye Position

- Where Should I Focus

Thanks,

Tom

@rberndhhs Okay. Going back to your original comment, then, do the push/slice issues resolve themselves when you move the ball a little more forward in your stance? If so, congratulations - you've just found your current outer limit of the grid for that particular club! (Club face is open to the target line and equal to the path for the straight pushes, and open to both the target line and the path for the push slices.) Now...put the ball in a position where it behaves better!!!.....

If you are still push/slicing after you adjust the ball position, then the next step would be to have a look at this diagnostic video in the Fixing Common Swing Problems section to determine if your downswing path is too shallow. If this seems to be the case, proceed with the videos/drills specific to Downswing Problem #2 that immediately follow it.
