What an incredible couple of tips for a truly instant fix. My shot shape with driver is a fade but when I get tired I lose the swing thoughts and that can turn into a slice. I use a Sim 2 10.5 with a ventus black velocore 6x. It is a driver built for a big power fade. A real turbo booster but I love that tip of pointing the driver face down in the backswing. I also crank my sleeve up .5 degrees to slightly close the face and that is a tremendous advantage. But you are dead on the money about the open club face

Eric, great pointers. Just recently realized my grip has been too weak, leaving 0 % chance for me to square the clubface at impact. My miss directed tee shots with the driver were unpredictable, sometimes, dead pulls, or sometimes slices. I will now pay attention,to keep the clubface slightly downward on the back swing.

As a student of your "reverse slice sequence" I can honestly say there are so many more benefits of the course. Main advantage for me is that my iron play has drastically improved. Little to none slicing and straighter then I ever imagined. yes and the occasional draw but its nothing to worry about. As well my confidence to set up a draw is there if need be. The tools are all there. I still struggle with the driver. However the confidence is there that it is just a matter of time and all will be ok.

Just got back from the range, and was pleasantly surprised. On my setup, I went with the vee out to my right shoulder and it looked odd. It was so odd in fact, that I adjusted back to a slightly weaker grip. The result was a slice. I finally swallowed my pride and moved the vee out to my right shoulder and the difference was amazing. I would estimate that 80% of the remaining drives were straight. I will need to hit the range several more times before I'm 100% convinced, but for now I am super excited. Imagine how much easier golf will be, when I playing my second shot from the fairway instead of the forest. Thanks Eric!!!!

Thanks Eric, I generally have a slight fade on good drivers, however, this year I started slicing more and losing distance. Turning the wrist down was the trick. It felt weird at first, however, with range work and a few rounds it has changed a slice back to a slight fade. I've added at least 20 yards to the drive, and using the same setup for the woods and irons it has vastly improved my game and accuracy. I am at the point where it almost feels normal, however, still working on the timing, hip movement and shoulder turn...etc. At the point where I want to get to the course asap. M.

One other tip and I’ll stop blowing up the comments, because I’m not a pro. But I think we get in trouble with typical thinking of in to out. We whip it inside and that’s going make us come over the top. I haven’t used it yet but reverse loop would encourage the side bend that we don’t get either, meaning usually the path on the way back isn’t explained to us properly. It’s more out in out. The out to start the backswing I feel for me encourages depth/width that I wouldn’t get, then it comes in and gets more connected to me would encourage the trail side to start to tilt or get side bend. Then last part is just release to the right or out. Any thoughts on that?

The FEELs will really depend on WHERE the player is currently at. Going INSIDE or OUTSIDE on the way back ONLY MATTERS to the degree that it effects the downswing path....

I was told I had a weak grip. But I was just an ex Baseball player having fun for the last 25 years. Didn’t much care to fix my slice. I Used to shoot anywhere from 87-95. Never got any better than that. The new grip is still very awkward and foreign to me. Some muscles are aching in wrists. But I have straightened out my drives more and sometimes 20-25 yards longer, Mostly down the left side to middle of the fairway with a draw. Rarely slice anymore. Which used to be a regular occurs for. Still working out the kinks. And I find myself having to force my self to think my way into the new grip. But I have added yardage to my drives. Sure makes it easier using a 7 or 8 iron than having to use my 5 or 6 iron. Shot an 85 first time out and did t really hit any putts. I find myself now improving shooting 84-90 on same courses. Haven’t really hit any putts yet. I have never broken 80 on a legit course. So now I got to figure out the putting.

Hoping you are still commenting here as I'm looking at joining your site. My main issue is I tend to close the club at the very top of the swing (last second before downswing). I've worked a long time on fixing this and have had some progress but the issue is I'm SO used to the club being closed at the top that I don't know how to release the club with my longer clubs so I tend to end up with my hands way in front at impact to hold the face open essentially. I had fixed the closed at the top issue at one point but still hit big low slices as I wasn't releasing the club. Is there anything else you recommend? I want to try the stronger grip with the v pointing more back and less forearm rotation in the backswing but I'm worried my issue is more about releasing the club/last second closing of the clubface at the top of the backswing.

Question, and I go back and forth on this a lot, but if you address the ball with a closed club face and take a neutral grip, is that the same as a normal address with a strong grip? Might help to grab a club to feel what I’m talking about, but if you were to take the neutral grip with closed club face and make the club sit normal at address your grip would become strong anyway, but neutral grip is much more comfortable, so curious about whether that’s a viable option.

@jamesdonk17763 жыл бұрын
No. The FACE sends it. The ball curves AWAY from the PATH. If you believe the ball takes off where your path is pointed, youre fucked.

Hey Michael! If you have been slicing thats just want you want. I wouldn't rush out of it...I would keep hooking it for about a month. then come back and I will show you how. Try and fix too early and you will get your slice right back

This is a great lesson. I have a supreme banana. Never knew how to open or close my face. I took your advice to the driving range twice and started hooking it.Two buckets. How many buckets do I need to hook? Thanks.

Excellent! How many buckets do you need to hook? -Can happen in a few balls if done correctly. I would keep hooking it for awhile if coming from a slice

This didn’t do a thing for my slice, I’ve literally watched 100’s of “slice fix” videos and none of them can clarify why I slice… guess no one can figure it out.

Damn.....hate to hear this Edward. You slice because you club face is open to that path. Have to find out WHY.

@@CogornoGolf I closed my clubface at address before gripping and it lets me lead with the driver handle and a squared clubface, and the ball goes dead straight. But, I’m wondering if it’s because I’m not letting my wrists release in time, and if I should go that way of a solution, instead of closing my clubface at address before gripping. What’s for sure, is strong grip is something I don’t ever want to change because I get way better power out of my swing. Thank you for the videos, I will give them a watch, i immensely appreciate your help!

Nothing wrong with a fade imo. I used to play a cut as my primary shot, but have started playing both ways like I did at 16. I think path and face are key to either, but controlling them is usually a more complex task. Idk, but either way I don't think there's anything wrong with a fade, but you must play for it.

@@CogornoGolf Bubba Watson, no? He plays at my club....starts it at the houses and brings it back 50 yards...hits it 350...idk but he shot 64, was playing in front of me. Some people I guess can't handle a slice because it'll pull sometimes, but if it's consistently curving I don't see a problem with it.

Lol dude....how many golfers can hit a slice and hit it 350? 1....2....10 people on the planet? Come on now....what are we talking about here....a debate on whether a slice is good or not? Can 1 person play a slice...sure...how about the other 10 million? Stop it.

@@CogornoGolf Good points, but...I was using Watson as an example, not a model. My point was really to say that if it's consistently slicing 20 yards, and it's not all over the place, it's best to live with it, tee up on the right side of the teebox, aim left edge of the fairway, and play for it. People just aim straight, and go nuts trying to figure it out. In other words, if it slices 20 yards, but is consistently doing so, and it's not slicing one minute and pull hooking the next, then forget everything else and aim left.

I tried to subscribe to your 15-shot technique to eliminate a slice but I was afraid I was going to die of old age before you got to the point --- that you kept saying you would disclose in the next minute. If the PGA had a clock on this video, you would be penalized for slow play.
