If you’ve ever watched your drive start straight before curving sharply to the right, you’re experiencing one of the most common problems in golf — a slice.
Many golfers searching how to stop slicing their driver near Stoke‑on‑Trent are dealing with the same frustration. The good news is that a slice is usually caused by a few simple swing issues that can be corrected with the right coaching.
At Keele Golf Centre, our PGA professionals help golfers identify the cause of their slice and develop a more consistent and powerful driving swing.
Why Do Golfers Slice the Driver?
A slice occurs when the clubface is open relative to the swing path at impact.
Common causes include:
-
A weak grip
-
An out‑to‑in swing path
-
Poor setup alignment
-
Trying to steer the ball
Many golfers try to compensate by aiming left or swinging harder, which usually makes the problem worse.

-
Setup and alignment
