You can use a line on your ball to fix your slice. Here’s how

That line you draw on your golf ball to help you align putts can also help you nix a nagging slice off the tee. 

For most recreational players, slices result from swinging too much out-to-in or over the top. You need a swing that moves slightly right of the target as you come into impact. So, when you place the ball on the tee, angle your putting line so that it points slightly right. 

This small visual cue goes a long way in helping you position your shoulders at address and guide your club on the correct, anti-slice inside-out path. 

When you look like this — with the club approaching the ball from the inside — you can’t miss.
