  • Slicing the golf ball is perhaps the most common issue facing casual golfers. Whether you're brand new to golf or have been playing for decades, it's common for golfers to slice their drive off the tee box and end up out of bounds or in a hazard which makes scoring well in your golf round so much more difficult.
    There are 4 main reasons that cause golfers to slice the ball, and in this video we address each core issue and provide some drills and swing theory on how to fix these issues in your own swing so you can stop slicing and start hitting beautiful draws that find the fairway every time.

      How to manage to keep the club in front of me, while turning during the swing. It is so easy to turn faster (and shift the weight to the left too early) in the downswing, which moves the club behind me.

      Yeah calling out the miss hits direction after showing the fault gave me instant stuff to work on .though im probably doing a little bit of every mistake he mentions i inow now im probably too close and not turning body enough …out of 3 shots ill have one dead middle straight ,one high crazy slice, and one low left snap hook type shot … and i never really thought to much about distance away from ball once i found a distance i made contact everytime …long ago id wiff now and then with long clubs,so i got closer …

    I cannot thank you enough for pointing out the distance to the ball error (7:32). I never realized how differently I positioned myself with different clubs. I am now using the "pointing at the belt buckle" distance to check. It has made an incredible difference to pay attention to this and get my hand in the same place every time. A thousand thank you's from a slowly improving golfer.

    This video changed my game. For anyone struggling with consistent contact, there are 2 huge things you can take from this video that might revolutionize your game:
    1. Don't over bend that right elbow. Reaching back further for more power had the opposite effect, and it creates inconsistent ball striking.
    2. Keep the hands in front of the chest. This sort of builds off of my first point, but it allows you to stay really powerful in the downswing with less of a backswing.

      Definitely like your style of teaching! I am a senior long term double digit hcp and watch a lot of U tube golf instruction most of the time to focused on the secret detail that does nothing for me but set up another compensatory move to my swing. I would like to see your lesson tee, how you evaluate and manage the person’s problem correction. A 10 minute max video that has been edited from your hour or so lesson giving the details, etc. Your recent Flip lesson would be an example but edited and better filming(closer has already been suggested).Selfishly I would prefer senior instruction lessons 😊. Finally do you offer video lessons? Coach Ed you represent “Show Me state” well keep it going.

    Wow so much good information. I am a slicer with my long clubs 3,5 wood and driver. I will film my shots and find which slicer I am but after your explanation I think I fall in the club not swinging back in front of me and never catching up… at least now I know what to look for, thank you so much. During tournaments I close my stance 30-45º to hit the ball straight; I do want to change that. Thank you very much for taking the time to share your wisdom.

    1984 US Open at Winged Foot. Practice range. I stood behind Seve Ballesteros. He was at the extreme left of the range. Hitting 4 irons landing mere feet away from people parking their cars next to the range. Amazing to watch. Later I saw him say in an interview. That he never looked at the ground. That's where all the trouble is. Bunkers, water. He looked at the piece of the sky where he wanted his ball to go through.

    Just happened to run across this video and glad I did. Really appreciate the instruction and fundamental breakdown of why its important keeping the club in front of you . Would like to hear your thoughts on keeping the spine angle through the ball since all I hear about is the 50ish percent shoulder angle being the target for proper swing path .
