The dreaded slice is the Achilles heel of most amateur golfers but now Joaquin Niemann has offered some really simple advice regarding how to fix the problem.

Not only does the slice get amateurs into all sorts of trouble but it also considerably reduces your driving distance.

Niemann is one of the best ball-strikers in the game, so his golf tip of how to cure your slice is definitely one worth listening to.

The Chilean, 26, joined LIV Golf from the PGA Tour way back in 2022 and he has been a huge hit on the Saudi-backed golf league, with seven wins to his name.

Niemann is really highly-rated on LIV, and it’s little wonder why, given his exceptional record over the past three years.

Regarded as one of the best in the world with his driver and irons, Niemann is the ideal person for amateur golfers struggling with a slice to learn from.

Niemann actually hits a slight fade himself, but he’s more than capable of hitting a draw also.

When speaking during an instructional video for GOLF.com, the LIV Golf star made it very clear how amateur golfers can become more consistent ball-strikers.

He said: “I feel like everyone is making the same mistake. They hit a slice so they aim further right and then come over the top even more.

“So don’t be afraid to aim left of the target and feel like you’re doing a figure of eight kind of thing, get the path more like this way (inside to out).

“Aim left and do more of an eight feeling, from in to out, you know.“

Niemann was then asked whether that is the most common mistake he sees when playing Pro-Ams.

He said: “Yeah, most of the time.“

So, the Chilean is telling slicers of the ball to firstly get more squared up to the target, or even aimed slightly left.

Then Niemann urged everyone suffering with the problem of slicing the golf ball to change their swing path more towards an in to out motion.

With plenty of practice, you should be able to sort out your slice in no time!

Perfect drill to cure your slice

Alignment is always a crucial factor in playing good golf.

Usually, slicers of the ball are set up right to the right of their target with their feet but to the left of the target with their shoulders.

This starting point creates an inside motion on the takeaway before an over-the-top movement on the downswing.

Get yourself some alignment sticks, pace them down parallel to your target and lay a club across your chest to ensure that your body is aiming down the same path.

Then, as Niemann says, try to take the club more along the line of your feet, rather than too much on the inside, before dropping it down inside the line into the slot on your downswing.

As with everything in golf, keeping things simple is the best way forward and the good news is that fixing your slice is not impossible, despite what you might think!
