Quite a bit. Not only are you not striking the ball with the “sweet spot” of the club, you are turning the club face outward and placing an inside out spin on the ball, which effects the trajectory of the ball. So, if I were to guess, I would say you were loosing anywhere from 20-30% distance on the ball.
Hehe, you’re asking to do a triangulation formula there. But It really depends on the slice. Generally, you’re losing up to 50 yards for the average slice in relation to the tee to green distance.
I’m talking about when you hit a “curve”, not slice off at an angle from the tee shot, by the way. If you do that, you’re possibly cutting your distance in half.
Well, it depends a lot on how well you strike the ball, the wind, how big the slice etc., but generally I figured I would lose around 40 yards when I would slice.
My brother tought me a few things that helped me correct my slice: Dont dip your shoulder, bring the club straight back as far as you can (like your batting and you want to bring the club head into the catcher’s glove), keep your head down and dont look up for the ball for two counts after you hit it, and dont worry about killing the ball. The club does all the work for you.
Hope you fix it cuz I know how bad a slice can ruin one’s game.
Just from the clubface being opened by 1 degree on a driver, your shot can be up to 40 yards off target. That takes off your straight line distance a considerable amount.
The only way to fix a slice is to fix the flaws that are causing you to NOT HAVE THE CLUBFACE SQUARE AT IMPACT.
An open clubface causes a slice; that is the bottom line.
A few common flaws:
* Grip
* Improper release
* Too stiff of a shaft – Too stiff and the shaft doesn’t unload until well after impact. This results in an open clubface in the impact zone. You need the right speed AND tempo in order to play a stiff shaft. Alot of people think they need a stiff shaft, when in reality they do not.
A LOT, a draw is a better distance shot because it will run more after it hits the ground and it will have a much better ball flight but with a slice it just balloons in the air
I lost about 40 yards. When i hit my drive straight it goes about 220 yards. What i did to fix it was, On the downswing make sure you close your club face. Do that by rolling over your wrist just a little more on the downswing.
By the way I’m 13.
You can lose a lot of distance on your shots with a slice. All depends on how bad the slice is. I’ve seen some shots slice 100+yds. Probably more important is where the ball ends up after a slice – out of bounds, in the thick rough or woods, the next fairway over, etc. That’s what makes the next shot really hard.
from tee to green a lot. if you could track the actual path probably not very much.
Depending on how bad the slice is. Could be 20, 40, 60, 100 yrds. Coming through the ball in a slicing motion (inside to out) also takes a lot of power out of your swing, so it really all depends on how bad the slice is. If I were to put an average yardage…30-60 yards.
