Do you wonder in frustration why your ball path curves to the
right?  It may go straight in the beginning or maybe it actually
starts out going right.  Well you’re not alone.  One of the most
common issues golfers face is slicing the ball.  Slicing is when the
ball curves in a left-to-right motion across the sky.  The reason for
this type of trajectory is that the ball is actually spinning in a
clockwise direction.

Imagine the ball being held on an axis and only able to spin left
(counter-clockwise) or right (clockwise).  If you strike the ball
dead center on the clubface, the face is square to the target, and
your swing path is perpendicular to the target, then you’ll actually
produce little side spin if any.  But with small deviations on any
one of those points you’ll find the ball to spin away from the
target.  An outside to inside swing path means you start with the
club head away from your body but finish with it closer to your
body.  This type of swing path is what produces the bothersome
slice.

The Root of Slicing

The swing path is the main contributor of the slice.  But if you look
closer, it’s caused by the tangential force applied to the ball
producing the clockwise spin.  If you have a slice that starts out
going right, then the club face may also be open (instead of
square) at impact.  This creates a launch angle pointing right from
the very beginning.

Changing your swing path to be more perpendicular to the target
plane is one way to reduce slicing.  But due to physical limitations
this can sometimes be difficult for many players, especially seniors
and beginners.

How the Response Offset Golf Driver Can Help Your Slice

The three main elements of your drive affect the final ball
placement.  Launch angle, spin, and initial velocity.  An Offset Golf
Driver can greatly assist in improving the first two.  And it can
even improve your ball speed.

The 4mm offset of the Response driver “resets” your ball path in
the case of an outside to inside swing path, effectively launching it
straight towards the target.  Instead of launching with a clockwise
spin and towards the right of the target, the impact happens
closer to the center of the clubface with less spin and a straighter
trajectory.

Because the drive is launched straight with less sidespin, less
energy is dissipated at impact.  This “extra” energy is transferred
from the Response Offset head to the ball making your drive not
only straighter but longer.

Get More Distance

The Response Offset is crafted with 15-3-3-3 Beta Titanium and
features a wide-body construction with strategically placed mass
at the heel and toe.  This effectively increases the moment of
inertia (MOI) and increases resistance to twisting.

With Alpha’s renowned Titanium shaping technology, Variable
Face Thickness is applied to the driver’s face making the sweet
spot bigger and easier to hit.  The result?  Incredibly long,
straight, and accurate drives.
