How to: STOP slicing the golf ball | REALLY EASY TIPS

[@frmacleod]

DUDE - I just tried this out at the range and my slice disappeared INSTANTLY. You're a wizard, Ricky.

[@markworth7167]

Dear all, PLEASE watch this video from 1:22 to 2:27. I made that EXACT change with my grip - rotating my hands as Rick suggests, and the slice I have had for 45 years DISAPPEARED IMMEDIATELY. I was even hooking the ball a tiny bit. Truly amazing. Thank you Rick!!!

I can't believe it. I had the exact same result. It feels weird - the grip and the inside out swing, but it really worked on the first swing. Now I just have to get used to it so it doesn't feel weird anymore.

Id love to see you bring a real begginner on the channel with a slice, and see if you can help him.

Dear Rick. I watched your KZbin session over the weekend and applied it to my game today and the slice that plagued my game for years has suddenly disappeared. Also added at least 20 yards to my tee shot. Thank you.

Watched this video. Went straight to the course yesterday (not even driving range). Strengthened my grip to see two knuckles on my back hand. I didn't hit a single slice (or even cut) all day. Thank you so much, sincerely.

[@CrookedCrowe]

Interesting, I did the same thing and sliced every drive I hit. Not exactly sure what I’m doing wrong but I’ve clearly got some range work to do.

[@tpelogol3245]

This is exactly what my pro told me. I've been practicing this for the past few weeks. So nice to have it summarized visually, too!

[@kimmorrison9169]

and your pro is right! Inside out swing path AND tuck that right elbow and glue it to you hip on the downswing. Slow tempo on backswing. The clubhead speed builds naturally on the downswing.

[@Virusruneblazer]

I've always struggled with a slice despite shooting in the 80s consistently. The tip about swinging more inside to outside has been a complete game-changer for me. Seems to have basically cured my slice. The inside-out swing path feels like you're hitting the ball to the right with a more open face, but you actually hit it dead straight with the right grip. Insane mental hurdle to get over after years of swinging outside to inside, thanks Rick!

[@vonduck1]

That was THE BEST anti slice video i have watched! Finally, the dropping of the arms in the downswing to create the in to out swing path I finally understood! The graphics helped immensely! Thanks so much!

[@tkitchkeesic]

This feels so much more informal with the animations. Thanks Rick. I use your tips everytime I hit the course.

[@privategent1]

Absolute amazing videos. I’ve recently picked up golf again, after 25+ years. These videos are helping immensely. Golf tech and internet have changed how one can learn some tips on the golf swing. The fact these are free makes it even more compelling.

[@dawa9923]

Animation of the slice broken down is second to none.!!!! Just that section sets me in the right head space to alter my swing. Thank you...

[@darrenburns1079]

I used this method today and absolutely love it. No idea what I was doing before hand but having this method along with the mental checklist as I go through the method meant I was consistent with each drive (well almost, I hit all fairways except one when using the driver). I've been playing for 4 year now and today I hit my best score. Thanks for this awesome tip. It definitely worked for me.

[@jamesvivash1272]

This is without a doubt the best way I have ever heard this explained! I can't wait to hit the range and put this to work. Thanks Rick!

[@thoko989]

I just like how Rick points out the main mistakes we usually do, right to the point. A really good and important lesson in just 8 minutes. Good video Rick👍 and thank you.

[@custardnufc]

I played 18 today having watched this and my drive was pretty much perfect on most holes. I mean I did lose 4 balls left over the first 2 holes but once I adjusted my aim I was hitting them perfectly straight! Such an easy thing to strengthen the grip but made a massive difference to my drives and lowered my score by about 10!

[@EthanSchaner]

This is the best golf tip video I've seen. Easy to understand for even the newest of golfers. I'll have to try this out next time I go out to the range.

[@BabyD576]

This video may have truly just changed my whole game. I had a lot of key concepts wrong in my head (I always thought I hit more off the toe so I line up closer WRONG). Best golf channel ever.

[@mattys701]

That move from the top is one of the most meaningful pieces of information I have seen to help with my understanding of the how the downswing should work!! Thank you Rick!

[@old1free]

TY Rick. I was slicing my ball to the right, very badly, and was getting frustrated trying to "fix" it. Tried the "stronger grip" today at the driving range and bingo! Worked like a charm. First drive I hit went straight and far. Hit 20 consistent straight drives. TY so much.

[@dallasd2608]

Again Rick I have watch 100 of videos to get rid of the slice and you make it so easy. All I have to do is get out there and make it work but because of you I now understand how and why so thank you for making it understandable. Love the videos

[@JOHNRedmond-cf3wb]

I love how this guy explains what has to be done to fix the slice.... this is a really good video

[@Chukkalula]

Rick, you are the goat. Started golf a month ago and couldn't hit my driver without a slice and would only hit 180m. Watched your golf swing basics and slice advice and have just come back from the range hitting straight shots at 220m. G.O.A.T.

[@jprenderg]

5:30 for absolute gold! Thanks Rick!

[@folkrav]

Rick, I can't thank you enough. I haven't played for 6-7 years before the last couple months. It didn't even take 9 holes in my first round for that strong as hell slice (that I never managed to get rid of back in the days) to show its ugly face again. I just stopped using my driver for most tee shots, just like I used to do. Then I watched this video... First round I applied those tips, I shaved off a good 5-10 shots from not having to lay the ball back from the forest on every other hole. It made it much, much more manageable, to the point I started trusting myself with the club once again. Still somehow have a bit of a fade going on, but man, it's good to be able to use a driver once again. Thank you so much.

[@bajacore]

Tried this trick and it did exactly what he said it would do (combined this with his other slice videos). Initially had a pull hook, but after fiddling with my grip and foot placement, I started striking the ball much cleaner and creating more a true draw. Not only that, I picked up another 2-3 mph (started around 94 and ended around 97) on my club head speed and another 20 mph on my ball speed with center hits. A few 250 total yard drives later and my confidence was through the roof. These videos have been such a massive help. Can’t thank Rick enough. Looking forward to getting out on the course and put these lessons to good use.

[@nevillehubbard7347]

Having watched this video on Wednesday evening, and having "faded" the ball for most of the last 52 years, I put this teaching into practice yesterday. I was amazed how well it worked!!! Within the space of a few holes my game was transformed. I'd heard a lot of what you said before but never the bit about radically altering your grip, particularly the right hand! So thanks Rick, this works really well for me. You've succeeded where a number of pro's, and any number of lessons, have previously failed!!!

I bought my first set of golf clubs a week ago for my birthday. I’ve always been a pretty good athlete but golf was one of those things my ego wouldn’t let me suck at. When you have an ugly golf swing… it’s horrid. Your videos have been absolutely instrumental. I went through the entire tutorial of how to fix your slice and pt.II (grip and follow through) fixed it. I hit a couple practice balls and saw what looked like a nice trajectory and much better contact. Decided to throw a real ball on there and take a “40%” swing because beyond our tree line is the neighbors property. I went yard on the first one and couldn’t believe it. I thought maybe it was a fluke and took a second whack at another ball. My neighbors house is fine but the people a town over are pissed as hell. Cheers m8, I absolutely love your content, please don’t stop. There entertaining, informative, easy to digest, and your one of the most likeable personalities I’ve found 🍻

Great video Rick. I’ve adopted these tips today and did not slice my driver once. Dead straight every time and that’s a first. Also worked with my woods too. I’m so pleased. It was so satisfying to see my ball penetrate down the middle of the fairway instead of slicing into trouble. 😊

[@stevebrandman2493]

Well Rick, I stumbled upon your videos a couple of weeks ago. I've always had a terrible slice and quit the game about 4 years ago. I picked it back up this year in anticipation of retirement in a few years and still had a terrible slice. I went out this last week and changed my grip to a much stronger grip. To my amazement, I went from slicing my drives 80%-90% of the time to maybe 20% of the time and the slice is not as severe. I think I really need to work on my body positioning, swing path, and follow through. You've given me a good place to start praticing to improve my game. I also used some of the tips to swing my irons and I went from hitting all over the place to 80% straight where I'm aiming. I still don't get near the distance I should for my body size but baby steps. I'd rather hit it where I'm aiming to begin with then farther. Thanks for teh help!

[@ps1625]

I'm a brand new golfer. Been at in a few months now in my garage during the cold season. I learned all my fundamentals from Tom Saguto. That was until I decided it was time to start working on the driver. For some reason Toms swing approach didnt resonate with me and I was off into slice hell. Lemme tell ya folks, it was bad. I knew all the basics; ball position, wide stance, spine angle, tilt. Still, slice city. On a whim I watched this video. I've become a junky and Ricks videos consistently have been entertaining and fun to watch. Admittedly, I haven't really sought out tips from Rick though. That was until today. I'm not trying to be dramatic, but this video is the one that made it click for me. The discussion on grip, club face, and ESPECIALLY the arm/wrist segment finally got me hitting it straight/left. When I combined that with the "arms dropping behind you" tip, everything fell into place. I feel like i'm "seeing" the ball and I can tell my swing feels so different. I actually got slightly emotional. I know I need to be able to drive the ball to play good golf and have some real fun out there and this short video is the one that makes me feel im starting to get it. Thanks Rick!

[@carlmcmanus1747]

Two weeks in working on this method and I can hand on heart honestly say this as fixed my slice. I’m not saying I hit every drive down the middle and it’s still a work in progress. However my really bad shot now is a straight pull. That’s down to timing/tempo imo. I do push a few straight right but no big week slice and I’m more often than not still in play plus a lot closer to the hole. My handicap as come down from 15 to 12.3 and shot I my best ever score of 79 👊🏻. Obviously there’s other factors that have helped and one of them is using the stronger grip with my irons. I had a tendency to push a lot left R/H golfer. Now hitting the ball more squarely and straight. Thank you for sharing this tip for me it’s so easy to follow and when it goes a stray I have something I understand to fall back on. Keep the tips coming 🙏

[@morgansudduth1272]

I'm from Minnesota. Golfed like 6 or 7 times since winter hit around November and I just forgot how to swing... huge slice with my driver and all of my irons were awful contact and going right. I watched this video last night. Seeing the grip reminded me of how my grip has gotten worse since last year so I hit a small bucket of balls today. First couple shots with my 9iron were flushed and my driver was the best it's ever been. Other than some going left I was ripping the ball. Everything in this video were things I had been taught previous except focusing on hitting balls on the toe instead of heel and the grip totally fixed everything. I'm gonna play a quick round tomorrow night than a match with some friends Saturday and gotta thank Rick for this short video giving me confidence and hope.

After years of struggling with my slice off the driver, I watched this video, took notes and went to the range. I could immediately see positive results and the drive went A LOT straighter.

I have been playing awful fighting the dreaded slice specifically with the driver. I watched this video last night and took the stronger grip to the course with me today. The change was dramatic as it cured the right leaky shots and gained 10-15 yards to my drive. It was very easy to implement and it definitely works. The driver impact is now center/toe where previously more shots in the heel. The grip change also helped me with the iron play. I was nervous to implement a major change on the course, but was so frustrated with previous swing. Thanks Rick for your instructional videos. I actually had fun playing golf today!

I wish you'd posted this last year. It took about a dozen videos and three months at the range to fix my out to in/over the top swing.
