What is the SINGLE most important thing I can do to eliminate my slice?
I am a righty. When I try to aim left to compensate, one of two things happen. I severely hook it to the left, or my slice seems to slice even further to the right. Hitting it straight is not even an option here. What's up with that?

Sorry - the whole swing works together so you can't choose a SINGLE thing that is more important. (Which is more important, your blood or your lungs?)If you focus on fixing your form, a slice is easy to fix on the practice range:
1. STANCE - DON'T aim left!! This creates the very thing you are trying to avoid - a Slice. Aim directly at your target (after setup, stand still and put the club down on the mat touching both your toes. Step back and the club will show you where you were REALLY aiming!)
2. GRIP - Your hands should be in a neutral position; not rotated right or left. (After setup, extend your fingers and let the club fall away - your hands should be perpendicular to your body - not twisted)
3. CLUBFACE - MUST be square to the target. An open clubface - even a little - will cause a slice.
4. BACKSWING - take it back STRAIGHT and LOW. Most likely you are taking it back to the outside. It won't hurt to take it back a little to the inside either - you might actually draw the ball!
And, keep the left arm straight and take a relatively short backswing. For amatures the club should NEVER NEVER go bast horizontal. Think "three quarters" swing in your mind to keep from overswinging. This is the single most valuable thing that will help amature golfers - control that backswing!
Good luck!

I have spent alot of money attempting to correct my slice. This is what I have learned:I was doing two things wrong:
1) I had a bad swing plane. I was swinging on a diagonal line going from inside to outside as i hit the ball causing the ball to have a side-spin as it left the club face and causing it to slice hard.
2) I had bad balance. In my backswing, I was placing too little weight on my back foot and then when I swung through to hit the ball, i would push the ball hard to one side.
I guess the moral of the story is to hit the range. Try to change some things about your swing and see what works. However, be sure to only change one thing at a time so that you know what each variable of your swing changes.
Good luck.
Is Phil Mickelson's career done or should he keep playing?
The "SINGLE" most thing you can do is learn to swing the clubhead like it's a heavy weight, rather than using your body to pull the club through impact. If you can imagine the clubhead is heavy, then you'll have to wait for it to swing through the ball before turning your body to the target. This will allow your hands to release the club correctly.Where is the best deals for golf online??
