Hitting slice after slice with my driver and trying so many things without success to fix it had become demoralising until this video. I followed this video , changed my initial set up stance , followed Ali's suggestions and hit the best drives I have in years. . I walked to my ball on one hole just astonished....is that my ball ....longer than I have ever hit on this hole and dead in the middle. This was my first game after watching this video and trying it out. This has transformed my game . Thank you Ali, you have restored my enthusiasm and enjoyment playing golf. Im 68yo and 25+ handicap. I know my handicap will drop lots.
Someone pointed this out to me during Jon’s run at the masters and I tried it a few weeks ago. I tell you what: this WORKS! You’ll “over-draw” at first because you’re used to closing the face a little later than usual, but once you get it, it works! I haven’t driven the ball this well in years and I’ve used this method for my last two rounds.
My playing buddies gave me a hard time, but they’re trying to mimic this set up now, LOL!
And for the record: I go about 1 to 1 1/2 club heads back…that’s my sweet spot.
Great content, Ali!
I’m a chronic slicers as under 2 years beginner golfer … this type of shots that killed my scores in some rounds…had some great rounds (under 90) when I could tee off good…but lately the slice is coming back haunting me…..thanks for testimony…can’t wait to try this….
@@andrikristianto2577 - Yep, give it a shot. Just be patient and start with a slower swing and once you’re confident start increasing speed, you’ll love the results!
@@Da.Onus.Burger.618: Tried it few balls on the range for warming up before round… still sliced them all.. 😅… so I was back to the original set up which felt more natural and better strike… some slices, some not… 😀
Sadly did not work for me today!
Been doing this for a few weeks myself.. it works once you've fine tuned it. I hit massive pulls and pull hooks the first 30 odd balls on the range. But never once hit a slice or push fade. Repetitive set up is key 👍
Ali. So today I a 9.5 handicap used this lesson to shoot 2 77’s over 36 holes at Copper Canyon in AZ. Thanks for the continued great tips!
Best instruction I've ever watched and used in my game. I've dropped my address at the ball one club head back from the ball and straight down the pipe every time. Club head directly behind the ball, fade. 2 club heads behind the ball, draw. It works.
Amazing tip, just doing one club head has straightened my drive massively!
Glad it helped!
It does work I started doing this after seeing a video talking about not looking at the ball when you hit it. I hit 6/8 drives dead straight and never did that in my entire life.
Great tip, Ali! I started doing this several months ago, mainly because I was popping the ball up with driver. But this not only got me hitting up on the ball at last, but got path going slightly in-to-out, and strike improved dramatically. So spin came down, speed went up, launch went up, and I started getting draws. It was unbelievable! I picked up about 25 yards without changing anything else and that wasn't even why I started doing it! The only tricky thing was learning to aim right after 35 years of aiming up the left side of the fairway. And the occasional pull hook, but I can deal with that!
Yes definitely works changed my game and haven't been so happy to use a driver for a long time I set up 2 club heads behind the ball I also slightly open my left foot and drag it back a couple inches I am driving 250+ i have had a couple drives just over 280 with good bounce and roll i am really enjoying my rounds again I was teeing off with a 5 iron for years i could not hit a driver to save my life the slicing got that bad
I actually step away 1 club head and back about a club and a half because I was struggling with keeping my head behind the ball -- which resulted in a regular pull and sometimes a sky shot. It's not a drill for me, but now a part of my regular setup. My consistency and distance has improved dramatically. Gotta tip my hat to both Rahm and Moe for this breakthrough. I appreciate the video! 🍻
This sounds like me. How’s it going?
@@jmoneydragon Well, I FINALLY broke 80 this week after putting in a fair amount of work the past two years! 🎉🍻🎉 Shot a 78! 😁 Still feeling more confident with my driver and hitting considerably more fairways than I did before I made the above change. I have actually had some success incorporating the same setup with my fairway woods off the grass -- on a smaller scale, but with more weight (60/40 at setup) on my lead foot for a more level strike. Hope you are making progress as well! ⛳
Watched this yesterday. Went to the Range and Lo and Behold, straightened me right out!
I've always had a terrible slice. This also added at least 30 yards to my drive. Thank you so much!
You are claiming youre cured after one driving range session?
@@captaindein33 on the road to recovery. I think I found the elixir! Believe me I've tried a lot of different fixes. My main problem I believe is these rods in my lower back. Makes a good follow thru dang near impossible.
Hey, that tip worked! Getting back outside after the long winter break, I've been having problems controlling my direction on drives. Now, two clubheads back and it's going to draw. Leave it behind the ball and it's fading. Works every time so far.
Thanks.
Tried this last weekend worked great! Didnt have a single one of my usual big slices into the woods. Found that 1 club head back works best for me and tee a little lower than usual since attacking ball way more upward I did hit a few pop ups. But highly reccomend this for slicers, now I am hitting ball with closed club face game saver!!
Question for anyone that this has worked for. Where are your eyes focused? At the ball or at the spot where you start the club head?
Just played my 5th round of my life this weekend with 3 buddies who have much more experience than me. I used this method and only had a slice maybe once the whole round. They couldn’t believe the improvement they had seen off the tee. Now just to fix my atrocious irons
To fix your irons: ua-cam.com/video/UUiixe8mJWc/v-deo.html
You're welcome!
Great tip and video! Another key point is the lag in the downswing. If you can shift your weight early enough, and get your right elbow (for right-handed golfers) tucked into your hip and sling the club head from the inside to create more speed and more of a baby draw. It also helps to shallow the club head! You just have to be able to roll your knuckles at last parallel consistently instead of flicking the wrist. The straight line release happens after contact at about 45° which helps close the face. Clay Ballard, founder of the "Top Speed Golf" system, has great videos that also help with this. It helped me immensely!!! Love your videos also Ali 👍
So easy isn’t it!
I saw a story about him doing this after his win at Torrey Pines. I started doing it, because I’ve been struggling with my driver for a couple of years. I was bearly averaging 200-210, and now I’m averaging 230-240! This works! Just try it this will help you hit up on the ball and the center of the club face! Smooth tempo and keep you head behind the ball!
This trick definitely works! I don’t always have a slice but I struggle with accuracy and distance on my drives. After watching the video, I went to the range, set my driver back 1 club head length, and immediately hit dead straight and gained at least 50 yards. Huge thanks for a tip that actually works without needing a pH.D in golf 🤣
Thanks for the tip. I can definitely visualize it and will work with it 👍
Ali is right - the Mo Norman set will help.
But you'll still slice no matter what your path or setup position is until you actually REALISE something:
If the club handle is in front of the ball at impact you WILL slice it. The clubface will always be open to the path -
ALWAYS!!! Even ifyou manage to swing in to out, you WILL still slice!!
Jack Nicklaus once said that to get more distance he would swing slower. This, he said, gave him more time to square up the clubface. Never were truer words said.
Check out the Steve Johnson tip on this and change your game forever! It really works.
I’m a lefty and I have a terrible slice. I’m definitely going to try this!
wow im try this!! lets goo! appreciate all love
Never seen this before. I mostly draw my driver but I know what to do if I'm having a bad day. Thank you. Mike.
Man!! Thanks so so much for this you just gained a subscriber
WOW! I love that instruction! That makes a lot of sense! Thank you! 😀👏
Gonna try this!! Thanks!
The first “UA-cam” tip that actually got rid of my slice holy shit. Life saver. Thank you
Can you use this Driver concept you just showed us how John Rahm addresses his driver behind the ball with all other fairway woods and all irons? It looks like an Awesome tip, especially for my swing. Thanks!
This works! Bloody brilliant!
When u do this drill. Where do u focus ? At the Ball as usual..or at the clubhead .....behind the Ball ?
Great tip. I can't wait to try this.
Been doing 1-1.5 heads back for awhile now. Sometimes more hook than I want. I use the arc as well for foot placement rotating based off of direction . Usually right foot back as well to make inside out strikes. Most of the time now right to left flight but sometimes to much and big hook.
Been trying to fix the slice for years, finally starting to get a new swing to stop it. And it sure feels weird, now am I supposed to focus on the ball or the low spot of the swing. Because, The Great Mo Norman was a one of a kind ball striker. Will this work for me. Thanks for the tips, and, good luck on the PGA.
you're a legend! Thanks it 100 percent works
Defo going to give this a go. Thanks Ali
I’ve moved my back foot Ann inch behind my front and club head 4” behind the ball, it works like a charm to get that straight shot or even draw. I went from high 80s to shooting a few over. Par now since I stay in the fairways and. 💣 them so far
Well..i am decent with keeping it straight or a small draw but i do still tend to slice when i REALLY try to crank one..so i tried this last night and HOOKED my first 3 attempts..so id say it works.
Been doing this for the last 2 weeks, It works!
Are you looking at the spot or the ball?
Works quite well
Excellent...thanks! Do you still focus on the ball or a point 2 club heads back?
Going to try this to see if it will help me hit a draw with the irons when I need to shape the shot into a green or around a dogleg
I use 1-1.5 ball diameters as the space btwn the club face and the ball. I’ve even had luck with my irons keeping the club head about 1/2 a ball behind the ball at address. Driver is the most repeatable club in my bag using 1-1.5 ball widths.
Did this at the driving range this (AM) for the first time this year..... Did this little tip and crushed my drives the longest I ever had. Smoked it..... What sucks it I just turned 75 yrs last Friday 21st. Playing my first game tomorrow..... I was actually laughting on every drive. So little effect.....
I tried this today and WOW! Driver has always been the weakest part of my game. I play on a very narrow tree lined course and today I hit 75% fairways. All I can say is this is a game changer!!!
Brilliant!
It helped me alot today i absolutely crush it
This WORKS!
I had a 0.0 club path & face on Trackman one lesson & wish I'd taken a picture lol
Hi Alastair...I noticed during this video that most of your drives were topping-out around 230 yards. However, in your other videos (which are great BTW), you regularly are 280+. What's the difference? Were you just throttling-back your swing speed to achieve the lower yardage? Thanks!
Thank you!😊
Although it works for Rahm and I completely understand your theory, if you yourself, can’t prove with a good shot with distance, then I have an issue I will give it a try. Let’s just hope it works. Thank you for your video.
Rahm does it to help draw the ball, in the video the ball drew and went further, not really sure what your issue is?
Great advice
I have started bending my head more back to get the draw and it works for me. Kinda the same thing. Earlier low point
Fantastic video mate
That was good !
Thanks
Do you look at the spot 2 club heads back during downswing or at the ball? I feel if I look at the ball I'll be "reaching for it"....but if I look at the spot I may miss the ball altogether 😂
yes, the commentators mentioned this. it is a good method. but, it may be that there is a better way of taking the club back on the inside. just simply relax your hands on the club and raise your position. the weight of the club will arch your wrists slightly and press the handle of the club up against the heel pad of your left hand. and, really, it is aways helpful if you don't ground the club with the driver
I'll give it, a go!
It's also a great drill to help hit up on the ball.
Im going to have to use this. I have a charity scramble tomorrow.
Moe Norman did this for years so this is. It original at all. Even JR credits Moe Norman.... you should too...
Are you looking at the spot where the driver is at address during swing? Or at ball?
When I do this, I’m looking at the ball. Try it, it works!
@@Da.Onus.Burger.618 cheers
I look at the spot but try both and see what works for you.
What I'd like to know is how the Trackman sitting BEHIND you can see the angle of the FRONT of the clubface?
What fixed my slice, was putting the ball closer to the middle of my stance.
My issue is that I can get the right to left movement, but it's too much. I feel that to get height and speed I have to shallow the club on the top of my backswing, but then the arc of my swing is a lot more curved from in to out. I will try that one club head length behind at address to see if it helps.
Do you think this will work for irons as well?
Do you still look at the ball? or do you Look at the ground where the club is sitting?
The important thing with the driver is to hit it far, so you need less club into the green. A little fade or draw usually doesn’t matter. If there is a hazard you are worried about, then use less club to guarantee you don’t go in.
Then surely distance isn't important if you drop down club?
Does this work for irons?
I'm going to try this at the range tomorrow. I'm thinking you may need to open the club face a little at address to square it up on impact.
Will this work with other clubs?
Great video. I'll let you know if it works !
lol @ that last one being dead straight.
This works ….👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I do this , I hit bomb draws now , if I want to play a fade I put my driver closer to the ball
When moving your club two back from ball, are you aiming at the original ball on the tee? Or are you supposed to hit at an imaginary ball two clubs back
Well it won’t be aimed at the ball directly and you would think you would bottom out but as you swing on the up arc it works
Do i still setup with my face square, if it's two clubheads back?
Maybe this is why i'm hooking left... have a tendency to leave clubhead one clubhead back from ball... hmmm will give it a go in reverse!!!
god that first strike is such a familiar sight to see
Can you do this with irons?
Do you act as if the ball is in the back when you swing or just as is??
I've tried this setup many times and generally it results in way too many high toe strikes. Which makes sense physics-wise. The driver would be strking the ball on the center face if the ball was also placed two clubheads back. But the driver passes that point and continues its arc left and, at the point it contacts the ball, only the toe is still on the path with the ball. There must be another component to this setup that isn't being explained.
Would this work with irons off a tee?
Probably not as well
This, and so many other tips for eliminating a slice, only work if you have good control over your swing. Most people don't. And this setup won't fix their problem, it will probably make it worse.
Tee should be a little higher than normal?
Otherwise referred to as "the Moe Norman" setup 😁
Absolute nonsense to credit any modern player with this idea. This was invented by the greatest ball striker ever, Moe Norman who hit every shot 8-10 inches behind the ball. Nobody however wanted to copy him. I’ve done it for many years and rarely miss fairways.
Watch Moe videos on UA-cam ,there are dozens.
Fair play as you did mention Moe.
If he hit 8 inches behind the ball the ball wouldn’t have gone anywhere
@@dimitriosmalatches5522
He addressed the ball 8 inches behind it. Same with every club. Is that clearer?
Crikey mate! Elliot put this out today as well. No originality. Who will copy who next
Just seemed a timely remake of a video I have previously made after Rahm won the Masters. 🤷♂️
@AliTaylorGolf bullocks. Ain't the first time it's happened
@Jesse Cooper Glad you enjoyed both videos then 😁 I’ll make sure I keep you informed when I post so nobody makes similar content on UA-cam 😱
Are your eyes lookin at the ball or where you’re setting up the club head
Moe Norman 😮
carry 174 with a driver 😁 i hit my 7 iron 175
If you set up with clubhead behind ball and start your backswing then when you get to 2 clubheads behind ball there is no difference, so can't see point
You need to watch again from about 3.00 in and then you will!!
Ill take that first ball slice over my slice
MOE NORMAN!
Wow
Seems a bit like the ghost of Moe Norman.
Say it in 2 minutes please.
Chill, man.
No wonder your significant other calls you "quick draw". 😏
cant be a true draw if your driver is only going 230 yrds lol
I didn’t have Trackman on normalised mode and the range was straight into the wind.
If you can consistently hit it 250 WHERE you want, you’ll beat people spraying them 300 yards.
Too long. Wrap it up. Get to the point.
Is there a rule that says that these videos have to be filled up with garbage verbosity? Why can’t they get to the point? I don’t care about John Rahm, or whoever he is.
Know just get to the point the quicker the better and someone please send Fiat so I can practice
Calm down boys, no need to get your panties in a wad!
