Fix Your Slice: 6 Aids for Women ($15-$120)

Fix Your Slice: 6 Aids for Women ($15-$120)

I handed my wife a slice-fix drill last year. She looked at me like I had lost my mind. โ€œThat feels like Iโ€™m swinging a telephone pole,โ€ she said.

She was right. The drill assumed a 6-foot frame and a 100 mph clubhead speed. She is 5-foot-4 and swings her driver at 72 mph. Same slice. Wrong solution.

The average woman golfer swings at 65-70 mph. Most slice-fix advice is written for 93 mph. That is a 30 mph gap and it changes everything. A training aid that works great when you load the shaft aggressively does nothing when you swing smooth and controlled. Or worse, it teaches the wrong move entirely.

Every one of these six works at 65-70 mph. No telephone poles.

1. ProSENDR PlaneMate: $119.99

Best for: Fixing an over-the-top transition and shallowing the club. The most complete path fixer in golf, and it works at any swing speed.

The PlaneMate is a belt-and-band system. You wear a belt around your waist, clamp the other end to your shaft, and a resistance band connects them. When your club is on plane, the band stays taut. When you come over the top, the band goes slack and you feel it immediately.

It ships with three interchangeable bands: light, medium, and heavy. For a woman golfer swinging 65-70 mph, the light band gives plenty of feedback. Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose use this exact system. The bands adjust to any swing speed.

What does not work. The $149.99 list price is steep. Buy it on Amazon for $119.99 instead. Also, budget two to three weeks of range sessions before it clicks. The protocol is five swings with it on, five swings off, repeat. The change is gradual. GolfWRX users report tennis elbow from overdoing the protocol. Stick to the recommended reps.

2. Lag Shot Lady: $89

Best for: The slicer who has never felt what a draw-release feels like. Hit real balls and feel the club release properly.

The Lag Shot Lady is a womenโ€™s 7-iron with a whippy shaft that loads fully at 68-72 mph. You hit real golf balls with it. When your sequence is right, the ball flies straight with a slight draw. When you come over the top, you get immediate ugly feedback. The shaft wobbles. The ball goes nowhere.

The draw pattern is the real value for slicers. You literally cannot hit a slice with a properly sequenced Lag Shot swing. The whippy shaft forces the club to release. Your hands learn the feel of a releasing clubhead at impact. After 10 swings, pick up your regular 7-iron and the draw feel transfers.

MyGolfSpy tested it with a scratch female golfer and clocked a 3 mph swing speed gain after 15 Lag Shot swings. The shaft, grip, length, and weight are all women-specific. This is not a smaller menโ€™s club with a purple shaft.

What does not work. Expect 30-45 minutes of wild, terrible shots before your first clean strike. The โ€œ12 swingsโ€ marketing claim is nonsense. Real timeline: two to three range sessions.

3. Tour Striker Smart Ball: $39

Best for: Fixing the arm-overrun that causes over-the-top. The root cause of most slices starts with disconnected arms.

An inflatable ball you pinch between your forearms. Arms stay connected to body, ball stays put. Arms run away from turn, ball drops. Binary. No app. No straps.

For a lot of women golfers, the slice sequence goes like this: arms lift independently, body stalls, arms fire over the top, face stays open, ball curves right. The Smart Ball stops step one. Keep the ball pinched and your body rotation delivers the club. When the club arrives from the inside, the face squares up and the ball goes straight.

What does not work. Connection only. If your path is good but your face is open, the Smart Ball will not fix it. Pair it with the PlaneMate for the full fix.

4. SKLZ Gold Flex: $49.99

Best for: Warm-up, tempo, and learning what a smooth transition feels like. Budget-friendly at under $50.

The Gold Flex is a flexible shaft with a weighted rubber head. Swing it and the shaft whips through the zone. The feedback: if you rush the transition or jerk from the top, the shaft wobbles and fights you. If you sequence smoothly, the head whips through clean and you hear the whoosh at the right spot.

Ten swings before a range session gets your tempo grooved and your body loose. It also promotes a draw. The weighted head naturally encourages an inside path and a body-driven release. A lot of slicers fight an armsy, outside-in path. The Gold Flex teaches the opposite feel.

What does not work. No counterbalance in the grip means it feels head-heavy. Some users report it threw off their swing tempo for the first few holes after warming up with it. The fix: 10 Gold Flex swings, then five swings with your real 7-iron to recalibrate. The 40-inch version is better for women than the 48-inch.

5. Tour Striker Educator: $65

Best for: Wrist and face-angle awareness. An open clubface is the other half of the slice equation.

The Educator is a small clip that attaches to your grip and rests against your lead forearm. You feel your wrist position throughout the swing. If your lead wrist cups and the face opens, the Educator separates from your arm. If your wrist is flat and the face is square, it stays connected.

A slice is half path and half face. The PlaneMate fixes path. The Educator fixes face. Together they cover the full slice problem.

What does not work. $65 for a plastic clip. The Tour Striker site advertises $57 but Amazon selling price is $65 as of July 2026. If your face control is already solid, skip it.

6. Alignment Sticks: $15-$25

Best for: The universal starting point. Alignment, ball position, and path drills for $15.

Slice fix drill: lay one stick on your target line. Lay another parallel to it angled 10 degrees right of target. Hit balls. If your divots point left of the target stick, your path is outside-in. Train yourself to swing along the second stick. This takes 10 minutes and costs $15.

Buy Tour Sticks or Callaway for $20-$25. The $10 no-name packs on Amazon use thinner fiberglass and the paint chips off after two range sessions.

What I Would Actually Buy

If you only buy one thing, get the ProSENDR PlaneMate at $119.99. It is the most complete slice-fix tool in golf and the resistance bands work at any swing speed. Two to three weeks of the protocol and your over-the-top move will be significantly shallower.

If $120 is steep, get the SKLZ Gold Flex at $49.99 plus alignment sticks at $20. That is $70 total. Ten Gold Flex swings plus the alignment stick path drill is a 15-minute pre-range routine that fixes both tempo and path. Not as complete as the PlaneMate but effective for a lot of slicers.

If you want to feel what a draw actually feels like, the Lag Shot Lady at $89 gives you ball flight feedback no other product here can match. The first time you see a ball curve left instead of right, something clicks that feels drills cannot teach.

The full combination: PlaneMate ($120) plus Smart Ball ($39) plus alignment sticks ($20). PlaneMate handles path. Smart Ball handles connection. The alignment sticks verify your setup. $179 total. That is half the price of a single driver and it will fix the reason you cannot hit yours straight.
