Haven't used a driver in years Purley because of the slice. Either slice it way right into the woods Or catch it perfect and hit it straight left into the woods.

​@@grumpy-dad3701 ahaha I would do the same

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?

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.

Nice! Now I only have five more things to circulate in my head as I'm setting up my shots. 🙄

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.

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.

Which of the 5 tips fixed it for you?

I tried this out today, thank you so much!!!!! I got my first birdie today !!!!!!

I've been watching you for about a year now. There are a ton of golfers on KZread doing tutorials. You have a special way of explaining drills and tips better then anyone else on here. No fluff straight to the point without 30 minutes of nonsense. Thank you for all the hints that you pervide us.

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

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!

I love and enjoy your instructions because my English is too poor to understand most instructors around KZread.You are the only instructor that I can understand every single word you say clearly.And,your instructions is reasonable and I can reduplicate it many times consistently in golf course.So, thank you very much.

16 handicapper here and last year I was shooting in the high 80’s/low 90’s. Went to Belek in March and implemented some of your techniques. Since our club reopened I’m now shooting 80-83, with some massive room for improvement. Thanks to your guides. Absolutely the best coach out there. The guide you posted in about January/February about the wear in the glove of your palm and the weak grip, it actually felt like you were speaking directly to me! Amazing and thank you.

This video single handedly changed from me slicing 90% of my drives around 200 yards to hitting down the fareway 280.. 👌

Probably the best video I've seen to address this problem. When I was 12 I drove the green on a 270 yard par 4. 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

This video literally fixed my slice!!! It was all in the hand position. “Strengthening my grip” made everything hook and from there I eased it to straight. I can’t thank you enough!!!

@glenzinck333

Exact same for me, using his 2 knuckle method I actually find it very hard to slice now because its a lot harder to twist your wrist to open the club face, thus making it hard to slice now

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!

the strengthening of the grip portion is an absolute GAME CHANGER. It instantly fixed my slice ...thanks!

Perfect timing for the start of the season. The last time you did this it helped and this was a good refresher for my game tomorrow morning so I stay out of the fescue

Perfect timing mate. I have been slicing and desperately needed these back to basics. Can't wait to get on the practice range tomorrow.

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'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.

Then moved over to my short game 3 months ago, still working on it, but also improved a great deal. Keep up the brilliant content and helping out a fellow (trying to be) golfer.

Your videos are fantastic. Used to play A LOT teens / early twenties, but life took over & I haven't really played in around 12 years.

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!

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. 😃
