Slice

A shot where the golf ball curves in the shape of a banana, starting out to the left of the target then bending dramatically back to the right of the target (for a right-handed golfer; the reverse for left-handed golfers). Because of the shape of the slice trajectory, the slice is sometimes called the "banana ball."
