*YES! This is my PROVEN method…use this method every time your slice comes back!*
Hey Alex, can you adopt the same process with the irons aswell?
@@SD-Plumbing-Heating yeah, and you can over do it too. Ask me how I know. lol. It's how I started for sure. I just over time kept moving the ball back farther trying to get the crisp ball first connections I was missing because I was swaying. And the farther back I moved the ball the more it turned. 30 yard wide draws with the driver. Sand wedges were turning 20 feet in the air. There were holes I couldn't play because trees lined the right too close and I couldn't hit it any other way.
So yeah, it can go too far. But, I fixed that and if you end up needing to later, you will too.
But your title says never again?
This is GOLD. I was a chronic slicer. I thought for years I had to move the ball forward to give me time to close the face. It just made things worse. A few years ago I moved the ball back, drop my hands to come from the inside, and started hitting beautiful shots. The ball position felt wierd at first but just trust it. It works.
Alex, I agree 100%. Now I snap hook!
Can't wait to apply this today. You and Danny have VERY similar ideas about this and both are incredibly helpful! Thank you for this lesson!
Great to hear that this is helpful!!!
@@AlexElliottGolf Now can we get a video for the players that don’t have an issue closing the face and trying to not hook the golf ball ?
I took this to the driving range over the weekend and I can’t believe the results it will take some getting used to but this 100% works!
I've been working on this exact thing for about a month now. Totally works! And now there's a video on it, Awesome!
This is the best video I've ever seen on slicing. I try and aim to the right 5 or 6 feet myself. You can also close your stance.
Wow, thanks!
@@AlexElliottGolf it's the easiest concept for fixing a slice. I'm surprised more people don't teach this.
Used to have a horrible slice (2 fairways over slice) and all I did to fix it was a stronger grip. Now I'm drawing or hitting them dead straight
Made my grip stronger and still slice like mad
I'm taking this to the range ASAP! My last round was just soul crushing because I could NOT get the face closed and I lost many, many balls in the woods on the right. Thanks for the tip!
Chris, also glue that right elbow to tour hip on both back and down swing
I applied the towel drill you showed a couple weeks ago, and it made a huge difference on my clubface.
Love to hear that Ken!!
@@AlexElliottGolf I'm really hoping my schedule gets less insane soon, so I can get some time on the course.
I'm so pleased my golf mate, when we were playing yesterday recommended I visit your channel. I'm so pleased he did. Great first lesson for me on here.
Club moves straight back. Helped me fix my slice instantly.
I completely stopped my slice by changing my swing. Just started playing golf and was swinging my driver like my irons. Didn't realize there are two different swings. Plus I turn my wrists over just a tad at contact, which I now hit a nice fade almost every time.
We have a real short par 4 that I can reach with my 5 wood for a first hole on the home course. My favorite shot is putting the ball just behind center stance and hitting a big draw to that hole. There's an evergreen of some sort that stands 50 foot tall about halfway there that I wrap the ball around the top of. It's so satisfying when I get it right.
May I ask….if the ball is farther back, do you not need, what we call in tennis, ‘fast hands’ to release the club head so (relatively) quickly?
I cannot wait to try this on Sunday.
Oh sure Alex, you've done it once again. ❤
Thank you!!!
2 things that helped me the most is not playing into my slice and ball position just as you said, still not fully releasing the club for a draw but now hitting power fades, with my swing speed of 109mph im getting about 280 every drive
Thanks for tip .....Alex
Great lesson/Drill..Thank you for sharing
This is going to sound like a dumb question, but can you use this move for fairway metals as well? Thanks and keep the videos coming
For sure!! Just don’t move the ball to far back like you are doing with the driver
Thanks for your videos they are very helpful
I listened to the whole video I'm still not exactly sure I'm going to try it can you make a few more videos on slicing good stuff today thank you very much
I am a chronic slicer of the driver. Actually, I call it a power fade cause it will go dead straight for 150-170 yards then make a hard right turn. Usually ending up on the next fairway or rough. This has frustrated me to no end. I’m going to start using your tips at the range and see if I can muster the courage to get back out on the course.
Superb video. When i dont close the face correctly using the forward stance it results in an horrible slice. I will use the middle ball position for my driver. When i use the middle ball position for my irons and woods i never slice. Thank you
Does this apply with fairway woods too? Can you help me not slice my fairway woods? I feel my driver has been fixed with these tips but struggle with fariway woods.
I've sliced the ball since the beginning of my game - I'm really hoping that this drill will help. Would you combine this drill with the stronger grip (that is, hands rotated towards the back foot) that I've been using for a while, or is it better to go with the squared grip for this drill?
The easiest way. What Dustin Johnson and Jon Rahm have in common? Yerp, crooked left wrist. Go see their swing. It immediately correct my slice. IMMEDIATELY.
Tried this with irons and driver, worked great. Doubt I'll go back to a traditional ball position now.
Whenever I hit the ball, my club is open which creates that nasty slice.
All I did was close the face on my grip. I had to get used to it, but that actually fixed my slice. It was crazy. Happened in one shot.
Hang on here. You hit the ball in the back position and loved it. So why change to the more forward position? Why can't you hit it from the back position??
Alex???
Hi, i find i get more control over the club this way. I have an in depth guide on ball position going up tonight at 8pm uk time which should help explain ball position further. I will also be featuring your question as it is a great question, thanks!
Great as always Alex!
Love your tips! Short to the point and they work!
Thank you Larry!! 👌🏼👌🏼
good tips. I discovered for me some grip changes that makes me hit hook, after some changes in the stance i am able to hit 245m (carry+roll) dead straight. I started golf 6 month ago...
My longest drive is 330m
My longest drive is 330m
I have to bring the ball position back for my driver and woods as my left leg is shorter than my right but should i do the same with my irons as i cant take divots and if i do its 2 little pieces, thanks alex.
Does this make you hit down on the ball though and sky the ball? ⛳🤔
Can't wait to try this!
Alex my miss is a low left hit especially with a driver and with hybrid and irons sometimes. Need help can you do a video to help me correct this frustration?
Still amazes Me you produce content daily. Don't know how you do it. Us older guys love those yellow balls. Why? I see them much better. All I play.
I've got to try this one.
Will try this tomorrow my slice has crept back bad gone up 2 shots to 10 in weeks losing good cards with this new handicap system 🤦🤣
This absolutely works ! I hit them long and straight my last round !
Hi Alex, regarding slicing the driver, how important is it to have the right length driver shaft according to your height?
I'm so confused. Am I supposed to tee up two balls when I hit? Or am I supposed to imagine hitting the first ball and but really hit the second ball?
What happens if you hit the back ball but open up your stance a little?
This guy has a golf towel, this is leagues above my golf level..
🤣
Thank you Alex!
Thank you I hope it helps!!!
Great video and simple enough. I’m going to try this down the range on Friday.
Good luck!
@@AlexElliottGolf is there a tip for doing this on the range as it’s difficult due to one tee there
wont you then be hitting down rather than an upward strike ?
How can I keep my left arm straight in the back swing?
This video works in reverse and explains why i've started to have a little fade on my driver again after consistantly hitting a draw for a long time. I recently moved the ball just slightly more forward in my stance to try and get under it more and now am hitting a nice fade when i need one. I had wondered why i had started being able to fade the ball again. With this info i should now be able to learn where in my stance the ball needs to be for both fade and draw.
My problem is I'm thinking too much about everything and I either slice or hook too much 😫
Point the club on the follow thru and you will naturally close or open the face and you will be able to Push or Pull anywhere you want 😉
So you're saying the more I practice this setup, the more it will translate to my normal setup and swing naturally?
I hit longer and straighter wity the ball in line with my big toe.
I got the idea - Fix the swing path to inside out.
quite the opposite for me, always hook. what could be wrong?
A slice is caused by and out to in swing path? Not necessarily so. The root cause of a slice is an open face to the swing path, regardless of what that swing path is.
That Penina?
Awesome video bro hope you good
Thank you demon!! How are you bro?
@@AlexElliottGolf im good my brother and you
Wouldn't putting a towel under your arm fix it?or no
could do!
CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I will report back tomorrow.
Yes!!! Love
To hear this. I’ll be waiting to hear that HIGH DRAW 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Tried this an immediately sliced. Title is a lie.
Then you need to release the club significantly sooner, almost feel like you're casting
@@philthy3893but he promised never to slice again 😢
@@Mihigo26maybe you just don't have it?
Funny cuz I thought he was going to say to set the ball in the middle of your feet and just aim left, lol
The driver is all about geometry. My coach who is a biomechanical swing specialist fixed my slices in about 20 minutes. All he did was changing my position. According to his teachings most youtube golfers do not stand properly tho, including this one.
It’s a little misleading because you change the position of your feet, so it confuses the point of ball placement
I usually remove all the content from my right side pocket...
I know this is probably going to annoy some of the life-long slicers out there, but I've never had that problem and despite not being a very good golfer, I don't think it's very hard at all to correct a slice. My father, who is 79 years of age sliced about 1/2 of his drives and I was able to explain to him why it was happening and get him to fix it in about 10 minutes lol. Once he understood that it was his club head that was imparting the side spin on the ball because of his swing path, he could visualize the difference between my hits and his (mine are square on the face and dead straight). I think most people who slice the ball and can't fix it, are simply swinging too hard and that's why they can't stop because doing something at full speed makes it much harder to fine tune things.
This is exactly correct everytime I would swing to hard I would crush it but a horrible slice when I slowed my swing I would crush it straight 😮I feel like my forearms would not rotate with how fast I would swing so my face was open
My longest drive is 330m
All due respect guys but one on one coaching is the only way. Its usually a number of faults. Worth a shot though
A bit like Jim Venetos’ stance?
But you didn't even slice it on the first shot in the video, you smashed it down the middle of the fairway and drew a slice on the tracer. LOL
That looks like a California course
Idk what's even going on here. If I don't setup with my driver on the inside of that towel I'll be lucky to catch the heel of my club. I've got bigger issues. Lol
Gee the great Bobby Jones did it the wrong way but alex knows best?
Video description all in caps with empty / impossible promises... Tiger Woods sliced his driver once in a blue moon.
Who is here the night before a round with the boys?
I have about 30 minutes before I have to leave for a round with the boys
This just confused me.
The real way to never slice is to stop putting the ball so far ahead in your stance.
Why can’t you just leave the ball further back at address?
You can if you want
Clubface manipulation is the reason people slice , the clubface should close naturally and you should let it , if i want a fade i hold it open a bit if i want a hook then i do whats being described , turning slicers into hookers isnt the answer .
Im an ex slicer that progressed to hooker and it can be traumatic hitting all over the show .
Ideally find a swing thats repeatable and a way of gripping that closes the face through the ball at the same point naturally and without any manipulation .
This is what should be getting taught not some fix .
Slicers try to hit down the target line and thus hold the face open , its not an over the top the problem its manipulation or thinking you must .
Put the ball anywhere and a slicer will slice ( or pull eventually)
Lets have some honest teaching .
Find a swing thats fluid and repeatable.
Find a grip that suits it and eliminates the need to manipulate the face ( impossible to repeat ).
Hit balls , have fun .
Nope
I've went from slicing it right to now slicing left. Literally ready to pull my hair out. But my woods are straight down the middle 8/10 times
No idea what you just tried to say.
It’s so simple ! It WORKS 😎🏌️⛳️
You need to make up your mind buddy. First you want us to set up like Jon rahm and then you want us to move the ball back in our stance so that we are hitting the ball in line with our right thigh. I would say you're probably the top 50 golf coaches if you measured them on the basis of how much they could confuse😂 if I put the ball that far back in my stance I would cup my left wrist more trying to make contact with the ball instead of having bowed or flat wrist at impact. A ball that far back in their stands for someone that comes in over the top is just going to cause an even worse attacking angle. Congratulations to you for being able to hit the ball well from all of these weird positions🎉
I think he is just showing different ways to accomplish the similar results. We all have different swings for our body types so there is no one way (Rahm) to do this. I can't do the Rahm thing but this works for me. Maybe you could not be such a douche about it? Probably not...
It’s literally a drill to get a feel for an in to out swing path.. once you have that feel, you put the ball back in normal position. Comprehension is key.
If you don't like what Alex has to say then F off
🏌🏌🏌🏌🏌
No. Totally wrong
This ain't it
Anytime you see a golf video claiming you’ll never slice, hook, duff, top, whiff, hit fat or whatever…don’t waste your time.
Says every golfer who WON'T put in the time to actually learn what really happens in a golf swing. There are no quick fixes or magic elixirs. You have to work at it.
@@RealDeeArthur I’d love to be there when you walk up to a tour pro and tell them the same thing. I read from your comment that if you “put in the time” that an individual (including a top tournament professional) could actually achieve this level of perfection. Read the title of the video again then look up the definition of “never.”
