How to Fix A Golf Slice


Golf is a game of excitement and uncertainties. Golf, from teeing to putting, enthralls you. All the shots you play on a golf course are prone to minute errors. These errors follow butterfly effect, the effect, which says that these small errors can turn into the great blunders.

Golf slices are such errors that are the results of improper shots. If the club is open at the impact, the ball do not follow the trajectory you intended. This is called slice. Well, arguably there can be three types of slices.

Straight Slice: It happens when the path of your swing is straight; however, the face of the club is open at the impact. The ball goes straight for a while and then turns to left or right.

Push Slice: When the path is not straight but slightly inside-out and the club-face is open at the time of impact, push slice is inevitable. The ball goes right initially and move further in the right.

Pull Slice: It occurs when an outside-in shot is played with an open club-face. It hits the ball in the left, but because of the open club-face it moves in the right direction and miss the intended trajectory.

Voodoo Daddy Putter


Among the series of Voodoo golf putters introduced by Never Compromise, which is a division of Cleveland Golf Co, Voodoo daddy putter stands out amazingly well.

Voodoo Putter
The putter that's introduced by Never Compromise has a funny putter head but has the best feel that any golfer can get. To maintain the ideal alignment of the center of gravity, this putter comes with weights placed on both sides of the club. There is also some amount of weight that's placed at the back of the club, so that the club has a heel for balancing the toe and getting a low centre of gravity. You might find these features awkward to look at, but the success rate that it has is extremely high. This is due to the fact that the low center of gravity prevents the club from having a backspin.

Besides the brilliant feel and confidence that a golfer gets from this putter, it's vital to note that the voodoo putter offers an outstanding feedback on the movement of the ball. As a result the golfer has a good distance control. There are also inbuilt alignment tools and lines in the putter by which the golfers are able to align the ball well on the line of the putt and sink in fairly easily. With a voodoo putter, it's easy to swing along the shoulder blades in the simple pendulum style. The heavy weight in the entire shaft of this voodoo putter that delivers a solid impact and gives good results is the added advantage of using it.

Voodoo daddy putter comes with an extended slight line through which the golfer can confidently adjust the ball along the line of putt. This putter is mostly efficient on long putts when the golfer is quite useful in handling the putter. You can purchase this putter quite easily online and it generally comes in the range of $40 to $100.

Golf Putting Accuracy


Golf is a sport played in most of the countries. Golf is challenging, gripping, and thrilling. The magic of golf spell-binds you and makes you addicted to this game.

In golf there are plenty of shots that you need to play before you hit the final shot to hole the ball. The game starts with teeing-off the ball and then after a few shots on the fairway, the ball reaches the green.

The shot that you play on the green is called putt. The club you use to play the putt is called golfputter. This is the shot that each golfer practices very hard. If you have started playing golf, you must understand that this is a decisive shot, which gives you an edge over the other players.

To putt accurately, a few things must be kept in mind. They are:

  • Study the green first. To study the green, bend on your knees behind the ball and analyze the slope and grass of the green.
  • In golf, you are allowed to lift the ball from the ground only once when you are on the green. So lift the ball, clean it up, and put it back. It reduces the error percentage.
  • The swing is very important. When the hole is near, we try to jab the ball, don't do that. Try to swing the club like a pendulum.
  • A right pressure on the grip allows you to have a proper swing
  • Always keep an eye on the hole

Golf instruction is very important and without proper golf training, you cannot succeed. In your training, putting can be practiced extensively off the course. It gives you a lot of confidence.

Golf thrills you if you play it skillfully. And to develop the skills, you must practice hard.
