Recently I decided to get back in the game. I had stopped playing, over fifteen years ago, because the game became more stressful than enjoyable after acquiring a terrible slice (the ball literally would travel directly to the right). After a decent amount of homework I decided it would be helpful to purchase regular shafts and a higher lofted driver and woods. So far I have purchased a used set of Titleist oversized + black irons and a Titleist 980F Strong 15° 3 wood (all with regular shafts). I also added a vokey sand wedge (chipping and putting were never an issue). I am currently working on purchasing a high lofted driver (ideally I want to find one with 12° or 12.5° loft) and a five wood. I have watched a number of youtube videos on correcting slices, correct grip and form. My plan is to start off at the driving range working on my swing (starting with my higher clubs and working my way down as I can hit them squarely). After I have straightened out my technique the plan is to ease back by only playing nine holes at a time on a par 3 course (leaving 18 holes and higher par courses for the distant future after I have completely conquered this slice). Has anyone else encountered similar struggles with a bad slice? How did you cure it? Are there any pros on here who can suggest how many hours of practice I will need to log to see improvement? Any tweaks to my plan or advice that anyone can offer would be welcomed. Thanks
