    I'm nearly 50. I've had a slice for over 30 years. I fixed my slice overnight easily when I saw a video that showed me why my club face was opening. It's not anywhere near as complicated as these fixes. On the top of my back swing I was bringing my wrists back to try and add more power. So I was opening the club at the top of my swing. Easy fix is to take your left wrist and lock it straight on the back swing. As if you're throwing a straight jab. That stopped me opening the face and overnight my slice was gone. Since then I've watched pros at the top of their back swing and they all have their wrists straight at the top of the back swing. Try it. Hopefully it gives the same results I got.

      @leecummings2949 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Replying to my own post so hopefully someone sees it and it helps them. The game is much more enjoyable with a more reliable swing. Bring on the fades people. Enjoy your golf. It'll save you a fortune in golf clubs as you won't be bending them round your bag😂

      Either slice it way right into the woods
      Or catch it perfect and hit it straight left into the woods.

  • @divyayadav132

    TLDR: 1. Strong grip and 2. Club pointing downwards - 3 times a week (50 balls each day). No slice for life. :)
    I used to have a very bad slice. Sometimes the ball would go 50 yards to the right. I was struggling to keep the ball straight. To fix this I saw plenty of videos but none of them were effective for me.
    This video however was a game changer. Within a week, I was hitting the ball dead straight. Go to the range regularly for 3 weeks (3 days in a week would be enough) and hit 50 balls with the following two techniques as suggested in the video
    1. Strong grip
    2. Club face pointing downwards
    You would start seeing the difference from day 2 or max by day 4. Be patient, keep your head down and do the hard work. You'll be better. Driver according to me sets the mood for the entire hole, cuz its the first shot. It is crucial to get the tempo and the mood right early on in the game.

      Why is my slice only with my longer clubs? My slice begins to appear around the 5 iron and gets worse the longer the club. I slice it very consistently 50 yards overall my swing per club is very consistent driver is 200 yards forward 50 right and 9 iron is always straight and 110 yards. If my swing is consistent should I learn to play with it or should I learn to correct it and potentially get more distance?

    Got my dad’s clubs after he passed ten years back, dusted them off this summer, kept slicing it at the range. I only wanted to do the clubs justice, learn how to hit the ball well, maybe play a round, but your love for the game rubbed off on me. I think I’m going to play more regularly now! Thanks

    First ever you tube comment but felt the need to after just getting back from 18 holes and trying this on the range before. Slice has gone completely has given me a drive of 250 to 280 dead straight.( not including the one when the 2 woman behind watched me shank one completly) game changer for me. Thank you.

      So just practice swing the motions to gain muscle memory. Then it wont be a matter of remembering the tasks.
      For me, my slice was due to holding the club wrong. I changed up the posture and it started going straight, not thinking about it either. It might not work for everyone, but it's a good start.

      @nathaniellarson8 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You probably only need to remember a couple of these. For me it's the outside-in swing when I'm trying to really rip it(which is every time I hit my driver, lol), I'll subconsiously try to pull the clubhead towards me on the down swing to generate more speed. If you take the club away to the outside, you will swing from the inside, a golf swing is like a tight figure 8, not a flat plane.

  • @jessef22
    @jessef22 3 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    The grip change alone was a game changer. It feels really weird at first and the results are mixed but I had my best overall round of driving the ball. I’ll start focusing other tips little by little. Love your content Rick, I’ve never been able to be consistent off the tee until I saw your videos, you’re a great instructor!

    I had been struggling with a slice on my driver for the last several years. I hit all my other clubs well, but I dreaded stepping up to the tee. Nothing was working for me. I watched this video and something clicked. No joke, this 8 minute video fixed my slice. I have only missed 1 fairway in my last 3 rounds and I now feel confident stepping over the ball when I am on the tee box. Literally changed my game. Everything is so much easier when you aren't playing your second shot from the deep rough or behind the trees. Not to mention, I have saved a small fortune in golf balls. I have told at least a dozen people to watch this video and your channel in general and will keep spreading the word. Thanks, Rick!

Had loads of potential but as as I got bigger and stronger my swing became worse and worse. My slice is so bad I ended up giving up golf altogether. But over the last year I've been dying to get back into it. Can't wait to get out on the range and put these tips into practice

It’s what golf tv should be!
    Today I watched the 5 slice tips... I used the three knuckle test to make sure I had a strong grip and I lined up with my ball off center towards the toe. I had the best drives of recent memory. Just great tips!

    I have watched this video multiple times over the last 2 days. Today I went out and finally was hitting it straight. You fixed a problem I have had since I was 13. I'm 35 now. Thank you so much for making this video!! That was the most fun ive had playing golf that I can remember .

      Also tip 4 should be the first to change. Open face has nothing to do with the slice, open clubface to the path does.

      Hook or slice pretty much the same thing, all that differs is whether closed or open face at impact. Prob got a over top swing with closed face. Watch Rick's vid for fixing it. Easily fixed. Fixed mine by weakening the lower hand grip . I have a neutral grip

    • @AlexanderMacleod

      @@AlexanderMacleod I started drawing/hooking when I started playing again since lockdown.
      Got filmed at my last lesson and it ended up being that my swing was waaay too flat at the top, with the club pointing at about 10 o clock when viewing from behind (as in camera to facing down the range). Hadnt done that since I first started playing.
      Took the swing back up high where it should be and kept everything else the same,instant fix and hitting it straight.

  • @TheRobCBartlett
    @TheRobCBartlett ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Recently picked the game back up after a few years off and relocating to Canada in 2019. Had lessons back in the north of England when I was growing up and played a lot throughout my 20s. Best I got up to was a bogey player and shot an 85 as my best ever score.
    Just a note from Vancouver to say thank you, Rick. I’m a new subscriber and have been watching a lot of your stuff over the past few weeks, in between range visits and a few rounds!
    This video made me realise I had a weak grip and was slicing my drives (rather than what I thought was just a natural fade). A simple tweak using these tips and I’m hitting straighter and longer - at least 30-40 yards on my drives.
    Appreciate this video is two years old, but the advice is timeless. Keep up the great content and thanks for helping me fall in love with this great game again!

  • @christinegoulden7940
    @christinegoulden7940 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brilliant video, thanks Rick. I was working on this with my coach tonight on our floodlit golf range, before I saw this. He asked me to do a couple of extra bits but it still works. As a slicer he asked my to put my trail foot back 2 inches to open up the stance. Also to have the thumb on the right side of the club for the bottom hand. He also showed me the grip strengthening on the top hand. This all works. I used to be a drivers, hybrids and 3 Woods only girl, and try not to use the shallow irons. But my irons were good tonight. Thank you so much. 😃

  • @malcolmcoulson4625

South African golf courses opened, finally, this past Saturday and I tried points 1 & 2 of your fixes (strengthen the grip and point the face down on takeaway) and saw an immediate improvement which was incredible. Not a single slice the whole round with either the driver or 3 wood off the tee. Thank you!

  • @markpardue2104

  • @CollinHurler
    @CollinHurler 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The tip about moving the ball more towards the toe of the club quite literally fixed my slice instantaneously. I can't believe I've been slicing my driver for 15 years when the fix (at least for me) was that simple. I literally practiced this with about a dozen balls before teeing off for 18 holes today, and then confidently took the driver out of the bag and hit a perfect little draw on every hole... I couldn't even belive it. I can't thank you enough for this video and I'm so pumped I found the channel.

  • @jamesmullen9941

    First day out on course yesterday and watched this video before hand. Usually have a terrible slice but this really helped. Was hitting the ball far straighter or with a slight draw. Struggled first few holes as normally aim way left to accommodate the slice. After that it was great. Cheers Rick 👍

    @bryanscott2450 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you so much for this video. I have had a terrible slice. The tip of putting down the head cover helped me so much. I went from shooting high 90s low 100s to shooting in the low 80s. It helped me visualize the swing pattern a lot easier. I played in my golf league the other day and was actually the best player driving wise on my team.

    I used to play alot of golf in my youth, and was hitting the worst slices you could possible imagine. I took lessons and trained like a mad man to try to solve the problem but without any result. It got so bad that i actually stopped playing. That was 13 years ago! I saw your 4 other videos on how to fix the slice and decided to try it out on my farm. It went straight as a bullet, took my old clubs to the nearby golf club and went to try it out on the range. The results were magnificent! I kid you not it changed my whole view on golf, and i directly went in and bought a new membership as well as some new clubs. Been playing golf on a level that i, in the past, only could dream on! Thank you and keep up the good work!
