This article on golftipsmag.com by PGA Professional Derek Nannen is a three-page article that covers the primary causes of those out-of-control slices... and how to turn it into a useful fade. For example, this pair of photos from the first page show two equally bad setups that can cause a banana ball.
The one on the left, where the feet are closed but the shoulders are open, is an obvious problem. But would you have thought the one on the right, where the feet and shoulders are both open, can cause the same problem? Derek says that if the club face is still pointed down the center of the fairway and the ball position hasn't been adjusted for the setup, the ball will still slice like crazy!
The article covers the four main things you need to check in order to get control of that banana ball:
- Fix your alignment
- Move the ball forward in your stance
- Close the club face, not your grip (lots of helpful photos for this one!)
- Make a full turn into your followthrough
