How to Fix a Golf Slice with Toptracer Games

Another slice nearly clears the side netting, and the harder you think about your swing, the worse the ball flight can become.

For many golfers, the best practice session starts by quieting all those swing thoughts. Instead of focusing on your wrists, hips, or shoulder turn, shift your attention to the target. Learning how to fix a golf slice with Toptracer starts with that simple change in focus. And since a slice often begins with a flawed setup, mastering how to hold a golf club can help stabilize the clubface.

Why your brain needs the point game

Scoring changes how you swing. Put a number on the shot and you stop rehearsing positions, because now you're trying to win something.

That's the whole mechanism. While some golfers rely on swing analyzer apps to review a swing after the fact, a scored game in the bay changes the swing while you're making it.

A practice session without a purpose is just exercise. Shifting your focus outward gives it one.

Internal vs. external focus

Focusing on an external target leads to better performance than focusing on internal body movements (Golf Ranch). When you play the Toptracer Points Game, your brain stops auditing your elbow. It solves a simpler problem: get the ball on that target.

Your hands sort out the face angle without being told to. That's a smoother path than any swing thought will give you.

The Toptracer advantage

There’s no need to guess where the ball went. With Toptracer, the shot trace shows the curve in real time, along with carry and dispersion data. That immediate feedback makes it easier to understand and correct your next shot.

The Points Game runs on Toptracer bays at Grand Prairie, Richardson, Lee’s Summit, Shoal Creek, and Brookfield. Glendale uses Trackman instead, while all 6 locations offer tracked outdoor practice.

With covered hitting bays at every location, weather won’t get in the way of your practice, or your next attempt to fix that slice.

How to play the point game to fix your slice

1. Select the module: Choose the Toptracer Points Game on your bay's monitor.
2. Target the opposite zone: If you slice right, aim at the targets on the far left. Your hands will close the face to reach them without you asking.
3. Track your dispersion: Watch the miss pattern pull back toward your target line. Learning to interpret golf data helps you prioritize fixing this dispersion before worrying about total distance.

Pro tip: don't try to fix your swing plane and your grip in the same session. Use the game to chase one result: getting the ball to the target.

What is the point game on Toptracer?

The Toptracer Points Game is a scored practice module on your bay screen. It assigns a point value to each target on the range based on difficulty, so accuracy and distance control decide who wins. Chasing those targets is what quietly corrects a slice, because you're aiming at something instead of thinking about your swing.

Why modern practice beats the old way

• Watch the trace instead of squinting at a ball you already lost against the sky.
• Stay in it for a full bucket, because a score keeps you honest.
• Track your numbers across visits, so one good day and a real trend stop looking alike.
• Turn golf range drills for slice into reps with a result attached.
• Commit to one target on every swing, which is the part most range sessions skip.

A bucket without a target is exercise. A bucket with a score on it is practice.

Your 30-minute slice fix

1. Hit 10 warm-up shots with a 7 iron and let the numbers set your baseline. Don't fix anything yet.
2. Play 3 rounds of the Toptracer Points Game, picking targets left of your normal miss.
3. Finish with 5 drivers, same target, same mindset. This is where the slice usually tries to come back.

Remember, you’re not chasing a perfect swing here, but a miss you can live with, and a fade you can aim for is a shot you can play on the first tee.
