This was great, thanks, been searching for "golf mental tips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (search on google ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got excellent success with it.
you all probably dont care at all but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my login password. I appreciate any help you can give me
If you listen to him and do what he says it works perfectly. This guy corrected my slice of 15 years from one video. I hit my 2nd bucket today two days after watching this, and only sliced one ball!!! Awesome video!
Totally thought that guy at the end was gonna take a ball to the melon. But in all seriousness, this was a super awesome tip. Very thorough but also informative.
😂I cut fairways for a week's and I was always Scared of getting hit,the other fairway hated me because I couldn't do 9 holes before he met me cutting the other way.⛳️⛳️⛳️
I fixed my slice in ONE ball. Seriously, after 4 more balls I changed my swing path to inside out and the next 5 were straight down the middle, long or slight draw, something I have never been able to do before. Great instruction and tips. You fixed my slice and I can now enjoy golf again.
I've seen dozens of these how-to-fix slice videos... this is the best one. So many so-called experts will have you change two, three or four mechanics at once in a swing. But this video hits the nail on the head. It's the grip!!! thx.
Hey Eric. Watched this video about 2 weeks ago. Didn't really believe it, so didn't change the grip like you suggested. Finally gave it a bash this morning and what da ya know. Bombing drives straight down the middle and actually starting to use fairways!! Thanks so much.
I watched this video and went golfing the next day. Changed my grip like you did, even over exaggerating the grip and I was crushing my shots with zero slice. It was unreal and even my two friends kept complimenting me the whole day because before this I slice my drive so bad I usually don’t even bring the driver... thank you for the video!
Been playing golf for over 30yrs and always adjusted for my slice. Back 9s were the worst (grip), having to adjust more and more as the game went on. Made this one adjustment, hit a bucket of balls everyday for one week, and well sir, my slice is gone, and now I even have an ever so slight draw with ALL my clubs. I have had Zero slices with any club since learning this to muscle memory. This may not be the problem fix for everyone, but it’s exactly what I needed. Thank you.
I draw my irons and am now finally being able to play that draw to my advantage , I hit my best drives with a high fade or low hard left to right runner. That's all good until I am standing at a tee where I NEED to be on the left side of the fairway to have a clean shot in without having to shape the ball flight. I was always obssesed about tucking my right arm and forgot about a strong left....Your lesson has me for the first time hitting a hard low right to left runner. I practiced it for a week at the range and on my longest par four at my local course i had, for the 1st time ever, a driver and 8 iron in, where i always needed a 6 iron approach... at least...I cannot thank you enough ,i am totally pumped about me new ball shape, thanks
Went out yesterday for 18 and couldn’t hit my driver at all. 100+ yards but with a massive slice. Have tried months trying to fix it watching TH-cam videos but no real consistent success. Disappointed yesterday, I found this video and work on the club face early this morning. Hooked the first few which was a welcoming sight. Then started to bomb straight drives 250+ yards. I couldn’t believe it! So I had to come back and leave a comment. Thank you so much! You have a fan for life
Stopped playing golf 30 years ago. Why? Always sliced the ball. Always. Three weeks ago, my son started taking lesson and playing golf so I wanted to join him. Did exactly what the instructor in this video said and worked on it for two weeks. Just finished playing 9 holes today with my son. Fairway shots every time or maybe a foot off the fairway. THANK YOU for taking the time to post this! Slicers: Just do exactly what he says and it works.
SIMPLY THE BEST VIDEO EVERY NEO PLAYER HAS TO SEE. For the fist time i hit the ball in the sweet point of my driver and I earn a lot of distance, if that is not enough my downswing thanks to the left hand position follow the centrifugal force and stop like a normal player behind the back naturally without difficulty. Wow 0_0
OK>>>> here we go. I watched your video. I did what you said. Last week, I lost 6-9 shots because I was putting the ball out of position or out of bounds because of the slice. Yesterday, I used a stronger grip and closed the club face at impact. I had no balls out of bounds. I played 9 holes and shot a 38 instead of 45-49. I used the move thru the fairway as well as tee box. You helped me greatly.
Eric, I watched this video last night. Went to the range today, and I changed my grip just like you said. It worked!!! Cannot wait to play this Sunday. You are the man!!
dude... you did it!! Thank you...You helped me ditch the slice..After watching your video, I took my driver and one bucket of range balls and it's gone...Now, I can even draw the ball a bit... And as you said in the video, with the exaggerated grip there will be hard left draws(hooks) but I can adjust my grip and bring it back to straight down the middle... I can't believe it... I've had the slice for a billion years and tried all kinds of adjustments to get rid of the slice...open the stance, close the stance, adjust the takeaway, etc etc.... Closing the club face is the key... The only thing with this grip adjustment for me is that it doesn't work on my irons... with my old grip the irons were very straight and controlled... This strong grip has my irons drawing hard left.. so I'll keep the old grip for the irons ... your grip (my new grip) for my driver... Thanks man YOU ROCK!!!
I’ve had a wicked slice since I started playing at 12 yo. 30 years later, I’ve sliced more than Wonder Bread. But now, I actually want to play golf BECAUSE this video instruction fixed my slice in ONE hour at the range! A million thanks EC!
would like to say ive been having the worst slice problem and i had no idea how to fix it. i watched this video and tweaked my grip a little bit to have a "stronger" grip as described in the video and im now crushing them straight. cant believe how minor of a fix could correct the slice. thanks!
Absolutely the best video I have ever seen fixing a slice. I fixed my slice in about an hour after practicing the club face directions you give in this video! Amazing!
I was a longtime tennis player before I was a golfer. My drive is (in my head) a topspin passing shot down the line, not crosscourt that is a duckhook! :) I have always hit my drive low with a draw, as long as I take a decent rip at it. Try and steer it, and you wont get the toe round and the clubhead stays open. This video is spot on. Big two thumbs up! Do what ever you need to do to get that clubface square. It is a lot more difficult than getting a tennis racquet square, but the principle is just the same, and at least the ball isn't moving. Nice to see a pro that is telling you what to do, rather than how to do it! Far more useful for us older folk that cant often follow best practices.
I've never commented on TH-cam before. But I have to say that this was the best advice I've ever received. I tried all kinds of things: ball placement, flatter swing, squaring shoulders and setting driver 6 inches behind ball, etc. But this tip did it for me. I would catch a great drive every now and then, but I literally just beat 30 balls in a row straight as an arrow or a slight draw. I still can't believe it. Thank you, sir!
I used to not want to hit the driver because it always goes out of bounds. Just came back from the range. And didn’t hit 1 ball with slice. I did hook many but that’s the process. Got a few straight ones and loved it. Thanks for what you’re doing!!!!
This was the best tip I've received. I went from slicing everything to having a draw in one day. Lots of reasons people can have an open face but for me it was my finish.
I know this video came out over 3 years ago but HOLY CRAP!!!!! Ive been a 90 degree slicer for 20 years and this tip instantly fixed my slice. I feel like an idiot for not figuring this out earlier. THANK YOU PGZ!!!!!!
Spot on, Bro! Been doing it the same way for years to deliver what I call a "guaranteed" slice fix. I like how you call out the slicers who insist on sticking with a weak grip and who blame it on everything but an open face-to-path. Lots of stubborn golfers out there. But also lots of teachers who don't teach this. You get a committed student and this instruction and the slice is a distant memory. Period.
Couldn't fix my slice...this seven minute video immediately changed my game and greatly simplified my swing! Thanks! Now, must find the follow-up video...
Rob Schaeffer Pretty much. I was slicing just about every shot before. Now i just need to work on hitting the ball in the center of my head. Still somewhat inconsistent, but a huge improvement
Watched this video the night before hitting the course. I have a new G425 Ping driver that I have been using for the last month. When I changed over from my R9 which I consistently had draw drives, suddenly I was always slicing it. After trying so many things, saw this video on grip. Like the man said, I got out to the range before my round and really made sure I had a strong grip. Sure enough I was hooking like a mad man completely erasing my fears of slicing and resetting my brain to hook with the club. A few adjustments to a "less" strong grip and found the sweet spot to crush my drives straight. On the front 9, I was struggling to find my grip and address position and was slicing again. I kept at it and by the back 9 I crushed 5 or 7 drives right down the middle of the fairway (5 in a row, book end with two misses which were both hooks!). Moral of the story, 5 crushed drives in a row was not a fluke. I am looking forward to solidifying my driver swing with the new strong grip. Thanks PGZ! Can't believe how easy this adjustment was to a very frustrating situation.
Amazing, my problem was all because of my grip, have seen many videos but no one has explained it so I would understand. Just back from the range and after 100balls I had 3slices and some draws but the majority of the drives was deadstraight.. And as a bonus hit almost 50 yards further You saved me.
This literally fixed my drive in a couple of shots! I’ve been struggling to figure out why I’ve been slicing the ball for over a year now. I’ve tried different ball positions, swing paths etc… turns out it came down to something as basic as my grip hahaha. I wouldn’t mind, I had a lesson many years ago and the pro genuinely did the same thing to my grip as you have just kindly reminded me!! It must have just grown weaker again over the years 😂 Thank you sir!!
After trying SEVERAL other tips from other vids, I applied this at the range today and was hitting consistently straight 250+ yard drives! This video needs way more attention
Watched the video and a week later went to the range.... straight piss missiles down the range at 250-275 yards. Only 5 went right and the ones that did would have still been in play.... Thank you golf God.
This is the best video ever. Old story - Ben Hogan was in his youth working as a caddie. After some times(probably years) he got a lessons from the local pro. The pro said early - you fade/slice the ball! Learn to quick hook the ball and comeback later. Ben did this quickhook training - then the pro said - hit the ball harder - and after that the rest is history! ;)
Not really. Ben Hogan was a smaller than average child, and he used a long drive swing to get distance. Trouble is that swing persisted into adulthood, and he struggled with a hook for many years until he finally found a way to counteract it. He didn't win a tournament in the first ten years after turning pro. Once he figured out how to keep the face more open with a cupped left wrist at the top, a weaker grip, and an open stance, he then became the best ball striker on tour and won many tournaments including 9 majors, 6 of which came after a near fatal car accident.
I’ve sliced for over 20 years and as a natural righty who plays left it’s the hardest problem to fix but this video just helped so much. Grabbing a driver and some practice balls I would watch a few minutes of instruction, step outside and hit from my yard to the pasture field ( yep, I live rural ! ) and it WORKS. Thank you so much 🏌🏻⛳️🍻
This makes a lot of sense. I've been playing golf for 22 years and at one point was a 6 handicap. Quit playing as much and now I'm at a 15 handicap because I lose so many balls off the tee due to slicing. I took lessons a year ago to correct the slicing and part of the lessons was to change my grip, however my instructor told me to grip strong with my left hand and weak with my right hand. I improved slightly, but that combination never made sense in my head or felt comfortable on the club. I'm glad I found this and can't wait to apply the strong right hand as well and work my way towards neutral eventually... I miss my low scores and consistent 300+ yd bombs haha! Thanks!
I used to play with a strong grip when I was younger and I always hit a nice high draw. I took a lesson and the guy suggested i change my grip completely and it helped for everything except my driver. I can only hit a fade and my miss is a direct pull to the left or a completely dog shit slice. Putting my hands back to a strong position now is so awkward. but this was definitely the wakeup call I needed. thanks
I just started back up after taking 10 years off this horrible game lol took your advice with the strong grip (non negotiable is what got me) first swing went right down the middle approx 250+ yds I'm stoked!!! Slice is gone unreal. Thank you bro great video!
Hi Miguel - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
What a phenomenal coaching video! I've been slicing the ball left for a while on my drives, and these tips got me shooting straight as an arrow within 3 shots! Thanks a ton!
Man, just got back from the range, what an intense and instant change. I've never hit a ball straight with a 225 carry ever in my life before today. Can't wait to get back.
I’ll trust anything these dudes say bc they gave me a lifetime drill I can do to fix my slice with iron play! “15 swings or less” I always say & joke with my brother but it happened, it was true, and now I’m on to my driver to fix! I’m not a scratch golfer now but I went from struggling to connect with the ball clean to being able to play full rounds with irons only,! I’m on to driver work, and I guarantee this will work bc I trust these guys!
Watched this video yesterday 10 minutes before heading to the course. My drive is straight down the center all due to my grip! Great video and thanks for the help.
I was at the range on the verge of breaking down ,lying on the grass and decided to pull my phone out and view this video. Changed my entire game,thank you so much. Never would have thought something so simple could be so helpful.
I changed my grip to the stronger grip like Eric suggests I also went and bought myself a titleist 913 with a Phenom RIP stiff shaft, the setting is standard at A1, and I since I bought it 3wks ago I don't have that slice anymore, my old driver had a very flexible shaft .... I am 100% sure it was all down to the old club ... now every drive is long and straight and I am a happy golfer again. thanks Eric, for the grip advice.
Watched your video went straight into a competition before had a terrible slice, slice 95% gone. Thank you from Thailand will be watching a lot more of your videos.
So I've been slicing the ball for years .. to the point where I don't bring driver to local tournaments .. I usually tee off with 4 iron ... after watching this video then going to the range .. keeping face closed fixed my slice in first 5 shots .. no idea how to thank you .. went from having 200yards into green , now I have under 100 yards into most par 4 .. thank u so much .. I'm a 10.8 handicap and I know it will only go down now .. ty so much
OH MY, THIS WORKED!!! My grip was usually weak and I thought that was the right way to hit because my dad taught me that. For me, the strong grip TOTALLY corrected my slice in 1 swing! Went to the range and hit 200 balls and no slicing! I'm super excited to found your AMAZING video. Thank you so much! I usually hit around 250 yards and slice and now I'm hitting 285 yards with a draw! So pumped!
This is the only video that actually got rid of my slice. What he talked about is exactly the trouble that I’ve been having. But as soon as I started doing this grip I went from golfing 105 to a 85 on my first game since I did what this video taught me. Awesome video!!!
This is the most helpful golf video I have ever seen. I have been trying to do everything to fix my slice for years and finally after watching this video I have been drawing the ball perfectly every single time! Thank you very much for this clear and concise video!
You are such a good instructor. I have been struggling with a slice forever and all I ever heard was "over the top". I corrected that but got "straight right" not slice. Now I know why. Thanks
Hi Cheryl - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
I have watched so many videos about curing my driver slice and finally this one has done the job! The logo, 'v ' and fix the clubface tips have seemed to work for me. Thank you!
Eric you are the man. I've never hit so many fairways in one round in my life. Naturally since this is a fiendish game the rest of my round completely fell apart and I shot one of my worst rounds of the year but that's not the point! I can now step up and confidently swing my driver which blows me away. Huge thanks and can't wait to put it all together soon!
Hi Nick - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
So i bought a brand new x-stiff driver because I thought i was slicing because of the shaft flex. Sure, the new shaft helps a little but it was really all my grip. Spent countless hours at a range fixing ball position, swing path, all that to no prevail, but this helped me so much more
Been trying everything for my slice. Made sure shoulders were square, feet were in the proper position, elbow didn't flare out. Did not realize my grip was trash. Didn't know you had to twist your wrist like that, I just had my thumbs aligned with no twist. Can't wait to get to the range to try this. Even my irons would go right slightly. I think I got it!
Wow! I have watched a bunch of videos on eliminating a slice and there have always been too many steps to keep in mind. I went to the range after work and it fixed it! My swing is far from perfect but I'm pumped that I don't have to watch that stupid slice every time. Highly recommend trying it out if you are a fellow slicer.
Tried this today after watching it a couple of nights ago and I was really pleased by how straight I was hitting balls with the driver. Great explanation.
This helped me alot. I was trying to fix club path only. As soon as I closed club face, it became much easier to then focus on path . Started with hooks and then was able to work them straight.
Great advice, exacly what my club pro said to me. He also gave me a really good exersice i want to share here! : hit a ball to the right, then one to the left, then pne in the middle. Do this over ald over again. After practice you can choose where you want the ball to go!
Ah! I finally i finally found a video that breaks it down in a way that i can understand! I'm super pumped to hit the driving range and try this technique!
So I am extremely excited to try this. I heard this tip but it’s never made as much sense til you’ve explained it. I actually don’t see how this could not help me.
I can’t practice the driver at home (low ceilings), only been golfing a few months. I definitely don’t come over the top and I shallow pretty good. I don’t slice but draw my irons. This video fixed my slice. I didn’t change my grip, but I introduced the closing of the face feel to the takeaway and now I’m drawing, and even fading if I try. And guess what? I can slice on queue now! Which sounds bad but it’s really not imho because now I know why. thank you very much!
I just saw this video. Been playing golf for about 30 years. Had a handicap of 10.4 at best but always fought a slice and at best I could say it was a controlled fade. Tried really to change my swing path but I am a right handed guy that for some reason plays golf left handed so have a weak or non dominant left wrist/hand. As in this video I had to exagerate my dominant right hand to assist my left so I had to develop a stronger right hand grip and ensure i felt the back of my right hand glove pointing at the target at impact. I think this guy explains it better but a strong grip is key and being aware of your hands and wrists at and through impact. I can now draw and fade at will.
Another positive result...thanks Eric. Watched last night and went in my sim today. Struggling to get the club facing down on the follow through. Maybe just in my head that I'll over hook, which is what I want to do initially. Still...I can actually keep it in the fairway and can't remember when that happened last.
This is great. Eric's teaching lines up well with Hank Haney's tips. Namely, strong grip (especially the left hand) and inside to out swing path. Beautiful!
Saw some good results by changing my grip but now working on my swing plane.........That over the top stuff is difficult to overcome but I refuse to give up. Thanks for the instructions.
Thanks for advice. I took it to the course and worked on the driver. I kept the logo on the glove pointing down on the take away and it worked. Simple way to keep the driver going strait. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips.. Going to the range this weekend to work on my swing. Suffered badly after playing again for the first time in 8yrs with slicing drives and a poor short game. Practice needed..
there are a billion videos on how to stop slicing ( i ve watched every one and still slice )......watched this vid played this week sliced every drive until 9th hole I forgot about shutting the face of the club in the back swing did it on 9 1st drive was a draw second drive was straight...this is the only video i ve seen ( and i ve seen a lot) that recommends closing the face and I think that is the magic move ... i ll know this weekend
Outstanding. I basically went to the strong grip last night and it was an immediate fix. Excellent teaching and explanations, especially about your brain seeing a different ball path and convincing yourself of it.
Hi William - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
Really helped today at the range! I’d previously been adjusting my right hand to no improvement! (Right handed golfer) I did notice that in addition to the strong left hand grip that I still need to be “low and slow” in the backswing to be straight. Great tip Eric, can’t wait to apply my new grip on the course!!!
Watched loads of videos about slicing the driver and this one has fixed mine straight away,so simple and not over complicating it with loads of steps,brilliant video
Thanks Eric!! I've had. Horrible slice ever since I began playing. Your advice makes more sense than any I've ever heard.....I can't wait to put this to use!!! I'll let you know how it worked for me. Thx again!
I slice with the drive but use the loose grip on my irons and tend to hit them very straight. Should I learn and get used to a stronger grip on the irons also? Great video thanks for the advice!
This was it for me. I watched numerous videos to fix my slice/fade but nothing worked consistently. Changing my grip and club head orientation in my swing solved this issue. Great video, thank you!

This video is spot on. Big two thumbs up! Do what ever you need to do to get that clubface square. It is a lot more difficult than getting a tennis racquet square, but the principle is just the same, and at least the ball isn't moving.
Nice to see a pro that is telling you what to do, rather than how to do it! Far more useful for us older folk that cant often follow best practices.
I've never commented on TH-cam before. But I have to say that this was the best advice I've ever received. I tried all kinds of things: ball placement, flatter swing, squaring shoulders and setting driver 6 inches behind ball, etc. But this tip did it for me. I would catch a great drive every now and then, but I literally just beat 30 balls in a row straight as an arrow or a slight draw. I still can't believe it. Thank you, sir!
Love it! Happy to help!
Jeff - thanks for your comment! Mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com ? We'd like to give you a free bonus as a thank you!
This is the same fix thousands of instructors have been teaching for ever, and you have never seen it before?
@@Mr.mallaer That is correct, Mil. Can you believe it???
I used to not want to hit the driver because it always goes out of bounds. Just came back from the range. And didn’t hit 1 ball with slice. I did hook many but that’s the process. Got a few straight ones and loved it. Thanks for what you’re doing!!!!
Love to hear that Rafael! Happy to help!!
-Eric
This was the best tip I've received. I went from slicing everything to having a draw in one day. Lots of reasons people can have an open face but for me it was my finish.
Heck yeah love to hear that!!
I know this video came out over 3 years ago but HOLY CRAP!!!!! Ive been a 90 degree slicer for 20 years and this tip instantly fixed my slice. I feel like an idiot for not figuring this out earlier. THANK YOU PGZ!!!!!!
This works 100%. I tryed this today and at the end i could decide if i whanted to make a slice or hook! Great vid!!
Spot on, Bro! Been doing it the same way for years to deliver what I call a "guaranteed" slice fix. I like how you call out the slicers who insist on sticking with a weak grip and who blame it on everything but an open face-to-path. Lots of stubborn golfers out there. But also lots of teachers who don't teach this. You get a committed student and this instruction and the slice is a distant memory. Period.
i've tried just about everything, and what he is saying feels awkward for me, but it works.
hell yeah... I'm a believer
I think you have identified my problem. Give me a week and I'll get back on how the fix goes. Bill
Couldn't fix my slice...this seven minute video immediately changed my game and greatly simplified my swing! Thanks! Now, must find the follow-up video...
I’ve been slicing my driver for years. This is the only thing that has helped me. Fixed my slice in one trip to the driving range.
But did the slice stay away for good?
Rob Schaeffer Pretty much. I was slicing just about every shot before. Now i just need to work on hitting the ball in the center of my head. Still somewhat inconsistent, but a huge improvement
Watched this video the night before hitting the course. I have a new G425 Ping driver that I have been using for the last month. When I changed over from my R9 which I consistently had draw drives, suddenly I was always slicing it. After trying so many things, saw this video on grip. Like the man said, I got out to the range before my round and really made sure I had a strong grip. Sure enough I was hooking like a mad man completely erasing my fears of slicing and resetting my brain to hook with the club. A few adjustments to a "less" strong grip and found the sweet spot to crush my drives straight. On the front 9, I was struggling to find my grip and address position and was slicing again. I kept at it and by the back 9 I crushed 5 or 7 drives right down the middle of the fairway (5 in a row, book end with two misses which were both hooks!). Moral of the story, 5 crushed drives in a row was not a fluke. I am looking forward to solidifying my driver swing with the new strong grip. Thanks PGZ! Can't believe how easy this adjustment was to a very frustrating situation.
Amazing, my problem was all because of my grip, have seen many videos but no one has explained it so I would understand.
Just back from the range and after 100balls I had 3slices and some draws but the majority of the drives was deadstraight.. And as a bonus hit almost 50 yards further
You saved me.
That's great to hear!
I just tried this at the range, almost immediately fixed. Thank you.
This literally fixed my drive in a couple of shots!
I’ve been struggling to figure out why I’ve been slicing the ball for over a year now. I’ve tried different ball positions, swing paths etc… turns out it came down to something as basic as my grip hahaha.
I wouldn’t mind, I had a lesson many years ago and the pro genuinely did the same thing to my grip as you have just kindly reminded me!! It must have just grown weaker again over the years 😂
Thank you sir!!
After trying SEVERAL other tips from other vids, I applied this at the range today and was hitting consistently straight 250+ yard drives! This video needs way more attention
Watched the video and a week later went to the range.... straight piss missiles down the range at 250-275 yards. Only 5 went right and the ones that did would have still been in play.... Thank you golf God.
This is the best video ever. Old story - Ben Hogan was in his youth working as a caddie. After some times(probably years) he got a lessons from the local pro. The pro said early - you fade/slice the ball! Learn to quick hook the ball and comeback later. Ben did this quickhook training - then the pro said - hit the ball harder - and after that the rest is history! ;)
Not really. Ben Hogan was a smaller than average child, and he used a long drive swing to get distance. Trouble is that swing persisted into adulthood, and he struggled with a hook for many years until he finally found a way to counteract it. He didn't win a tournament in the first ten years after turning pro. Once he figured out how to keep the face more open with a cupped left wrist at the top, a weaker grip, and an open stance, he then became the best ball striker on tour and won many tournaments including 9 majors, 6 of which came after a near fatal car accident.
I’ve sliced for over 20 years and as a natural righty who plays left it’s the hardest problem to fix but this video just helped so much. Grabbing a driver and some practice balls I would watch a few minutes of instruction, step outside and hit from my yard to the pasture field ( yep, I live rural ! ) and it WORKS. Thank you so much 🏌🏻⛳️🍻
I thought I was alone as a righty who plays left 🥹
He's the first guy I saw that ACTUALLY talks about the club face... Everyone else just mentions the swing path... Good on you mate, awesome vid🔥
This makes a lot of sense. I've been playing golf for 22 years and at one point was a 6 handicap. Quit playing as much and now I'm at a 15 handicap because I lose so many balls off the tee due to slicing. I took lessons a year ago to correct the slicing and part of the lessons was to change my grip, however my instructor told me to grip strong with my left hand and weak with my right hand. I improved slightly, but that combination never made sense in my head or felt comfortable on the club. I'm glad I found this and can't wait to apply the strong right hand as well and work my way towards neutral eventually... I miss my low scores and consistent 300+ yd bombs haha! Thanks!
Single best golf video I've ever watched. Fixed my slice literally on the first shot
The BEST quick fix to fix your slice. I watched this video on the way to play and was hitting straight BOMBS!
Dude. I watched your video and went out and had three of the best drives of my life. Thank you!
I used to play with a strong grip when I was younger and I always hit a nice high draw. I took a lesson and the guy suggested i change my grip completely and it helped for everything except my driver. I can only hit a fade and my miss is a direct pull to the left or a completely dog shit slice. Putting my hands back to a strong position now is so awkward. but this was definitely the wakeup call I needed. thanks
After so many years…. Yes! I fixed by Slice with 1 ball and 1 shot today. Will continue for week and Next step will do the inside out. Thank you.
I just started back up after taking 10 years off this horrible game lol took your advice with the strong grip (non negotiable is what got me) first swing went right down the middle approx 250+ yds I'm stoked!!! Slice is gone unreal. Thank you bro great video!
Incredible. Seriously the first time I ever hit a ball left and eventually got it to go straight once I stated to get the feel.
Thank you!! So simple
Hi Miguel - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
Good stuff! Happy to help man
What a phenomenal coaching video! I've been slicing the ball left for a while on my drives, and these tips got me shooting straight as an arrow within 3 shots! Thanks a ton!
Man, just got back from the range, what an intense and instant change. I've never hit a ball straight with a 225 carry ever in my life before today. Can't wait to get back.
Heck yeah love to hear that Scott!!
In less than 10 balls - maybe 5 - I went from slice 🧀 to hook 🪝. Now I just back off the hook a little. Most high-yield lesson ever. Thank you.
I’ll trust anything these dudes say bc they gave me a lifetime drill I can do to fix my slice with iron play! “15 swings or less” I always say & joke with my brother but it happened, it was true, and now I’m on to my driver to fix! I’m not a scratch golfer now but I went from struggling to connect with the ball clean to being able to play full rounds with irons only,! I’m on to driver work, and I guarantee this will work bc I trust these guys!
Man you weren't kidden I just took your lesson out to the field. unbelievable results thanks for taking the time to make this very informative video.
Watched this video yesterday 10 minutes before heading to the course. My drive is straight down the center all due to my grip!
Great video and thanks for the help.
Thanks! Be sure to subscribe for more content!
Great result for just 10 minutes, how it goes now?
I was at the range on the verge of breaking down ,lying on the grass and decided to pull my phone out and view this video. Changed my entire game,thank you so much. Never would have thought something so simple could be so helpful.
I watched this video once and it fixed my slice on my second shot! Once I got my hand placement correct I was driving straight and long! Thank you!
I changed my grip to the stronger grip like Eric suggests I also went and bought myself a titleist 913 with a Phenom RIP stiff shaft, the setting is standard at A1, and I since I bought it 3wks ago I don't have that slice anymore, my old driver had a very flexible shaft .... I am 100% sure it was all down to the old club ... now every drive is long and straight and I am a happy golfer again.
thanks Eric, for the grip advice.
Enjoy hitting those fairway bombs! Subscribe for more content!
Yeah I'll bet you were overpowering that shaft and the clubhead was lagging behind and not turning over in time!
Watched your video went straight into a competition before had a terrible slice, slice 95% gone. Thank you from Thailand will be watching a lot more of your videos.
Great to hear! Be sure to subscribe and like more videos please!
A no nonsense articulate coach. Watch the video often to reinforce grip correction.
So I've been slicing the ball for years .. to the point where I don't bring driver to local tournaments .. I usually tee off with 4 iron ... after watching this video then going to the range .. keeping face closed fixed my slice in first 5 shots .. no idea how to thank you .. went from having 200yards into green , now I have under 100 yards into most par 4 .. thank u so much .. I'm a 10.8 handicap and I know it will only go down now .. ty so much
OH MY, THIS WORKED!!! My grip was usually weak and I thought that was the right way to hit because my dad taught me that. For me, the strong grip TOTALLY corrected my slice in 1 swing! Went to the range and hit 200 balls and no slicing! I'm super excited to found your AMAZING video. Thank you so much! I usually hit around 250 yards and slice and now I'm hitting 285 yards with a draw! So pumped!
This is the only video that actually got rid of my slice. What he talked about is exactly the trouble that I’ve been having. But as soon as I started doing this grip I went from golfing 105 to a 85 on my first game since I did what this video taught me.
Awesome video!!!
awesome video indeed..
This is the most helpful golf video I have ever seen. I have been trying to do everything to fix my slice for years and finally after watching this video I have been drawing the ball perfectly every single time! Thank you very much for this clear and concise video!
458,405 views That's a lot of slicers lol...
Fortunately I am not one of them :) #moenorman2k
Na its just me watching it for the 30000th time
A life of baseball has permanently ruined me. I think I have the slice fixed but here I am watching this video 2 weeks later.
1million lol
Its a popular shot shape among us Amateurs!
Best slice explanation I’ve seen! Over compensating the club face made me understand what I was doing wrong with my grip immediately.
Thank you!!
I've been trying to fix my slice for 20 years and here I am. That's how it's going for me
You are such a good instructor. I have been struggling with a slice forever and all I ever heard was "over the top". I corrected that but got "straight right" not slice. Now I know why. Thanks
Happy to help!
Hi Cheryl - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
ya know, after 16 years hiatus, I was having this issue and the grip had totally left my memory, thank you!!
I have watched so many videos about curing my driver slice and finally this one has done the job! The logo, 'v ' and fix the clubface tips have seemed to work for me. Thank you!
Eric you are the man. I've never hit so many fairways in one round in my life. Naturally since this is a fiendish game the rest of my round completely fell apart and I shot one of my worst rounds of the year but that's not the point! I can now step up and confidently swing my driver which blows me away. Huge thanks and can't wait to put it all together soon!
Hi Nick - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
MY pleasure man..happy to help!
So i bought a brand new x-stiff driver because I thought i was slicing because of the shaft flex. Sure, the new shaft helps a little but it was really all my grip. Spent countless hours at a range fixing ball position, swing path, all that to no prevail, but this helped me so much more
Been trying everything for my slice. Made sure shoulders were square, feet were in the proper position, elbow didn't flare out. Did not realize my grip was trash. Didn't know you had to twist your wrist like that, I just had my thumbs aligned with no twist. Can't wait to get to the range to try this. Even my irons would go right slightly. I think I got it!
3 mins into the video, it already fixed my slice problem, thank you doc
Love it :)
Eric
Wow! I have watched a bunch of videos on eliminating a slice and there have always been too many steps to keep in mind. I went to the range after work and it fixed it! My swing is far from perfect but I'm pumped that I don't have to watch that stupid slice every time. Highly recommend trying it out if you are a fellow slicer.
Tried this today after watching it a couple of nights ago and I was really pleased by how straight I was hitting balls with the driver. Great explanation.
This helped me alot. I was trying to fix club path only. As soon as I closed club face, it became much easier to then focus on path
. Started with hooks and then was able to work them straight.
Great advice, exacly what my club pro said to me. He also gave me a really good exersice i want to share here!
: hit a ball to the right, then one to the left, then pne in the middle. Do this over ald over again. After practice you can choose where you want the ball to go!
Love it!
Ah! I finally i finally found a video that breaks it down in a way that i can understand! I'm super pumped to hit the driving range and try this technique!
So I am extremely excited to try this. I heard this tip but it’s never made as much sense til you’ve explained it. I actually don’t see how this could not help me.
Best quick fix for slice on TH-cam, one range session and it was fixed.
I can’t practice the driver at home (low ceilings), only been golfing a few months. I definitely don’t come over the top and I shallow pretty good. I don’t slice but draw my irons. This video fixed my slice. I didn’t change my grip, but I introduced the closing of the face feel to the takeaway and now I’m drawing, and even fading if I try. And guess what? I can slice on queue now! Which sounds bad but it’s really not imho because now I know why. thank you very much!
I just saw this video. Been playing golf for about 30 years. Had a handicap of 10.4 at best but always fought a slice and at best I could say it was a controlled fade. Tried really to change my swing path but I am a right handed guy that for some reason plays golf left handed so have a weak or non dominant left wrist/hand. As in this video I had to exagerate my dominant right hand to assist my left so I had to develop a stronger right hand grip and ensure i felt the back of my right hand glove pointing at the target at impact. I think this guy explains it better but a strong grip is key and being aware of your hands and wrists at and through impact. I can now draw and fade at will.
Another positive result...thanks Eric. Watched last night and went in my sim today. Struggling to get the club facing down on the follow through. Maybe just in my head that I'll over hook, which is what I want to do initially. Still...I can actually keep it in the fairway and can't remember when that happened last.
This is great. Eric's teaching lines up well with Hank Haney's tips. Namely, strong grip (especially the left hand) and inside to out swing path. Beautiful!
It will help a lot of slicers!
Saw some good results by changing my grip but now working on my swing plane.........That over the top stuff is difficult to overcome but I refuse to give up. Thanks for the instructions.
Thanks for advice. I took it to the course and worked on the driver. I kept the logo on the glove pointing down on the take away and it worked. Simple way to keep the driver going strait. Thanks!
Im a beginner at 50. I watched this at the driving range slice is gone. It was my grip. Feels weird at first but works. Thanks!
This video has completely changed my game, a million thank yous, my slice is completely gone and all because of my grip, appreciate you 🙏
Thanks for the tips.. Going to the range this weekend to work on my swing. Suffered badly after playing again for the first time in 8yrs with slicing drives and a poor short game. Practice needed..
there are a billion videos on how to stop slicing ( i ve watched every one and still slice
)......watched this vid played this week sliced every drive until 9th hole I forgot about shutting the face of the club in the back swing did it on 9 1st drive was a draw second drive was straight...this is the only video i ve seen ( and i ve seen a lot) that recommends closing the face and I think that is the magic move ... i ll know this weekend
Outstanding. I basically went to the strong grip last night and it was an immediate fix. Excellent teaching and explanations, especially about your brain seeing a different ball path and convincing yourself of it.
Love it!
Hi William - thanks for sharing! We are coming out with some content I think you'd really like. Would you mind emailing us at support@performancegolfzone.com? Will share the details with you. Glad to hear you are hitting it better!
Really helped today at the range! I’d previously been adjusting my right hand to no improvement! (Right handed golfer)
I did notice that in addition to the strong left hand grip that I still need to be “low and slow” in the backswing to be straight. Great tip Eric, can’t wait to apply my new grip on the course!!!
Watched loads of videos about slicing the driver and this one has fixed mine straight away,so simple and not over complicating it with loads of steps,brilliant video
I have watched tons of these videos to try to fix my slice and this is THE MOST helpful one I’ve ever seen
Simplest and best slice vid I’ve seen thanks man
Thanks Eric!! I've had. Horrible slice ever since I began playing. Your advice makes more sense than any I've ever heard.....I can't wait to put this to use!!! I'll let you know how it worked for me. Thx again!
Incredible video by far the most helpful golf video I’ve watched so far something so simple that none of these other guys I watched thought to tell me
I slice with the drive but use the loose grip on my irons and tend to hit them very straight. Should I learn and get used to a stronger grip on the irons also? Great video thanks for the advice!
This was it for me. I watched numerous videos to fix my slice/fade but nothing worked consistently. Changing my grip and club head orientation in my swing solved this issue. Great video, thank you!
