    This is the best golf advice I’ve ever seen. After watching it, I went to the range, and, for the first time ever, didn’t slice a single shot. It’s transformed my attitude to playing.
    I’ve just joined a course that runs anti-clockwise with all the trouble and OOBs on the right. So it’s a nightmare for a slicer.
    Was considering joining somewhere else, more open. But not now.
    I read some of the comments herewith disbelief. But, I can honestly say, that following the straightforward advice, I now find it so easy to avoid the dreaded slice.
    Amazing tips gents. Many, many thanks.

    I have hit a constant fade / slice for 25 years and every tip or video I have watched it was all about ball positioning and getting a strong grip (knuckles on top with the left hand and on the bottom of the right hand). You name it and I have tried it. Your video addressed getting the shaft out of the palm. Wow, what a change, I was never so happy to see a few duck hooks. Like you said, now it’s a matter of how much to roll the right hand. Thank you for your video!!

    I always knew the ball should be in front of the golf stance but you guys made me try again and over exaggerate it. And it made it so my club face is almost impossible to be open to the path of the swing. Probably the best tip to fix a slice without drastically changing someone’s golf swing. Thanks guys.

The tip of as if I were shaking hands, the right one, solved a problem for me and generated more distance. Many blessings and continued success, thank you, Pedro, Caracas, Venezuela

    The grip! I just picked up my driver and felt everything you mentioned! Brilliant! Like beer in a bottle! I can’t wait to hit the range. I absolutely know that this will correct my slice. I myself change to an extremely strong grip to prevent my slice. It works most of the time, but sometimes causes me to pull the ball really badly. As I said, I can’t wait to try this new grip. It feels very comfortable so I won’t take a lot to adapt to.

    As a lifelong baseball player myself, the biggest thing I figured out was that in a baseball swing, your thumbs are behind the bat/club, in a more parallel plane of the ground. While in golf, the thumbs are more perpendicular with the ground. That was the most mind changing thing I had as a baseball player gone golfer. I hope this helps someone!

      @garrettpreszler7857 2 роки тому +12

      @@traviscunningham3684 When you address the ball, take note of where your thumbs are. They should be on top of the club, and that’s basically where they should be when you impact the ball during your swing. If you were hitting a baseball or a softball with a bat, you should feel like your thumbs are behind the leading edge of the bat at impact. Essentially your hands are rotated 90° clockwise (for a righty. Would be 90° counter-clockwise for a lefty) when impacting a ball with a bat than when impacting a golf ball. If you hold a golf club normally and then rotate your hands 90°, the face opens dramatically where you can very much understand how the ball is slicing. So for me it’s important to get the feeling that my hands are rotating to where my thumbs are on top of the club at impact, not feeling like they are behind the club, which leads to the slice. I hope this helps.

    HOLD ON.... It WORKS! Lol the past 2 years after no golf from 2014 til 2021 I have been slicing all my drives and long clubs 90 percent of the time 30 to 50 yards off line! 🤣 I have been trying too many things to correct this problem and had not had any sort of consistent result. Round to round and practice to practice each time felt as though it was the first time standing at address and then just being totally off balance and doing one "weird" thing or not has totally messed my mind and game up. Sometimes standing at address for 30 seconds only to stop mid backswing.
    Just felt very uncomfortable and overthinking my whole setup and follow through.
    BOTTOM LINE, The part where u show your grip on the club and hold it with just the index finger and meat of the palm... was a lightbulb moment for me!
    I hit some balls immediately after reviewing your tips and the first 2 shots were bad only becuase I was overcompensating and my tempo was toooo slow.
    Took a step back for a moment pointed my heel inward about an inch, followed by my own 4 things at address and YOUR GRIP COPIED AS BEST AS I COULD and had 6 consecutive 200-220 carry, and 0-7 yd. Dev and just felt like 👍 👌 THANK YOU! I hope It wasn't a fluke!

    @gregrobinson8061 2 роки тому

    Gents, a timely lesson for me. I did get out of my chair, grabbed a driver and tested my grip…and yes I had to change it to position it out of the palm and back to where it should be and straight away it felt “right”. So easy to overlook a basic fundamental when setting up. I often find my myself rushing with the driver swing and over swinging, so would be interested in your thoughts on how to establish and engrain a good repeatable tempo. Any wise words/tips would be appreciated or point me to another one of your lessons if it covered elsewhere in your lesson library. Much appreciate your work guys, keep it coming.

If you're swinging a driver and you have a fast down swing with say to soft of a shaft you're gonna impact with the club face open. To stiff and you're not getting the benefits of the whip. Get them fitted

    Baseball is a good comparison. I hit 6 home runs in high school. My furthest being about 450, 365 down left center field and I hit the light pole 15 feet from the top. I had the most power on the team but I even had a slice in baseball. I’d hit a ball going dead center would been gone if it would stay straight. But would be about 340 because it would hook right and be warning track power. But when I did get a jump and pull the ball I’d rip the cover off. I’ve even hit drives clearing 330, but it’s never there dk what causes it to happen. But I’m usually 250-260 with a 70 yard curve
