#149 Fixing Golf Slices with 3D Swing Analysis

This Podcast explores the causes and solutions for two common types of golf slices: pull slices and push slices, using 3D motion analysis from the Sportsbox 3DGolf app.

A pull slice occurs when the ball starts left of the target and then curves right. The main causes include:

• Excessive Swaying – Too much lateral body movement during the swing.
• Faulty Transition Sequence – Poor weight transfer from backswing to downswing.
• Open Stance – Chest and pelvis aligned too far left.
• Aggressive Sway to the Lead Side – Overcompensating for improper club positioning.
• “Getting Stuck” and Overcompensation – Weight staying on the back foot, forcing a compensatory movement that sends the ball left before slicing right.

A push slice starts right and curves further right, often caused by a reverse pivot, where weight shifts incorrectly during the swing:

• Weight Shift Reversal – Weight moves to the front foot in the backswing and to the back foot in the downswing.
• Sway Gap Issues – The chest moves closer to the target while the pelvis remains behind.

To correct slicing, it is essential to improve weight transfer and body sequencing. The Sportsbox 3DGolf app provides real-time tracking of key swing metrics:

• Sway Gap – Measures lateral movement differences between chest and pelvis.
• Chest Sway – Tracks upper body motion during the swing.
• Pelvis Sway – Analyzes lower body movement to ensure proper weight shift.

By using these 3D motion trackers, golfers can monitor and adjust their movements, leading to better swing mechanics and reduced slices.
