This has to be the best breakdown video of how to correct a slice I've seen on KZbin. Keep it up Grant!

[@ongeart]

So true

[@timnijdam9178]

Spent 4 hours on the range yesterday implementing Grant's tips and it is insane to see my swing completely change for the better. This channel is exactly what beginner and intermediate golfers who want to improve their golf game need. All thanks to you, Grant!

[@system331]

This is good for everybody. Even high level golfers.

[@ra-zal-ghoul]

Grant is one of the better KZbin instructors I've ever watched. I think the huge difference comes from watching him implement all the tips and instruction from these videos into his personal game on the main channel. I always root for Grant on the challenges, he knows his stuff!

[@chrisgonzales2804]

Grant needs to have a Lab coat either when doing the labs or in his logo. my slice is only on my drives

[@Reffitt2]

Check your shoulder alignment with driver. If your ball position is correct (off left instep for right hand player) make sure you're not turning your shoulders to the ball as this can exaggerate a slice. I had this issue for many years myself. It feels super weird at first and you'll feel like you're aiming way far right. The best way to check this is set up to the ball with driver and then lay the driver shaft across your shoulders and have someone look down it. Your shoulders should be parallel to your feet. I started lessons this summer and in my opinion it's more than worth the money, much more than any equipment I've ever bought! Hope this helps!

[@bs6788]

Just very much focus on hitting up on the ball. This helped me a lot curing my driver-only-slice.

[@Underground308]

So I'm brand new at golf, and 2 days ago I shot a 132. So frustrating because almost every shot was a slice. Came home, watched this video, and went out yesterday to shoot 100 even. Felt so much better. For some reason this video just clicked with me. Thanks a lot man.

I’ve watched hours of “how to’s” to fix your slice and none have ever worked for me, until I watched one video and it clicked… I’ll get to that in a second. Coming from playing baseball when I was younger your taught all your power comes from your hips to start your swing, that explosive burst of twisting hips and then you “pull” the bat through. In my golf swing I found the harder I tried to rotate my hips the more exaggerated my get my slice would get, because it would end up opening the face of my club (driver) and when I would pull through it would bring my hands forward and rotating them in a clock wise fashion on my down swing. For you baseball players it basically felt like trying to swing at a ball just below knee height over the plate. Here is what clicked for me in the video I watched. I found out it wasn’t my stance, wasn’t my grip, wasn’t I didn’t tuck my elbow. It was bringing a different sport I never played into the equation. It was actually making my swing replicate that of a Hockey player. Where your lower body stays square, but on your backswing your arms stay straight, but your shoulders turn. Just imagine holding your club normally but slide your bottom hand down the shaft till your elbow locks out and then bring it back just like a hockey player does. This was the “ahh ha” moment for me as when I would come on my down swing it was my shoulders turning first, keeping my club head in the exact place I had it and not opening up when I brought my hips first. Once I started my downswing my shoulders would turn and my hips would then follow, and as I got used the the swing change I could then bring my hips with my shoulders to rotate even faster. So now instead of having a ball off the tee that went 200yards straight and did a 90* turn another 100 yards, may go 10-15 yards to the right, or on occasion a draw. I swear my slice was so bad I could’ve entered a trick shot competition with it. I would love to go on a simulator and just how much changing my backswing has changed my approach angle and other things.

[@povrtsux1]

You should make a video showing this 👍

[@Blake4s]

Been watching good good for like 5 months now and never new about good good labs !!! This is fire

[@TheLazerF0rce]

i've been playing golf for a little over 8 month now, currently 42.9 HCP. I just got back from a golf lesson with our local pro and he said the exact same thing. What a Legend. Thank you Grant :)

[@ChromeSoftwareX]

I know you probably won’t see this but I am so mad that it took me this long to find this video. But I’ve taken numerous lessons and tried too many different drivers to fix my slice. This video literally fixed it. I’m still slicing it but instead of almost every hole it’s only 2-3 times through 18. I appreciate this so much ❤

[@Reffitt2]

This is a great video but another huge reason people struggle to fix their slice is because they don't know how to release the club through impact correctly, and I'm not talking about getting "handsy" and flipping. A stronger (technically neutral) grip helps but if you're not releasing the club you'll get very confused like I did. I can hit a fade or draw now and I release the club on both shots, I just adjust my grip a few degrees stronger/weaker and make the same swing because I was never able to control my club path consistently enough to work the ball that way. Hope this helps someone!

@@jacobphilpot1458 No joke?! That's incredible! I would love to get fitted for a set of irons. Well, I'd love to get fit for every club but one step at a time. I started lessons this summer and it's made such a big difference in my game. Well worth the money in my opinion. Now my buddies that I play golf with get mad at me sometimes. At first they were impressed with the dramatic changes then they started getting frustrated. Lol! Especially since they've spent $2-3k on clubs and I'm using an entire set of the new(ish) Tommy Armour 845 series clubs, all except my Odyssey Stroke Lab putter. Honestly the 845 stuff is really good and I hit it just as well as anything else when I got them for less than half the price of big brand. Although I wish I could afford Taylormade, Callaway, Titleist, ect. clubs.

I played 18 for the first time in years, and I tried the new grip about the emblem facing up with a stronger grip. For the first time in my life, I hit more straight shots than slices. Thank you so much, Grant. Now, I just need to work on my ball contact.

[@officialmichaelhudson]

The alignment stick drill totally helped to cure my slicing! Was so refreshing it to see it here. Awesome vid as always, boys!!

[@winstonsmith11]

Awesome job, Grant! Another point I would add to this would be alignment, and how to visualize aiming properly. I'd estimate that about 90% of beginners/slicers are aimed 10+ degrees right of their intended target, and have no idea that they're doing it. But your brain knows, and tries to pull the ball back to the target. The out-to-in path naturally occurs, as it must. This is a crucial step to curing a slice, imo. Apart from that single omission, you totally nailed it. 👌

[@skylercutsforth8595]

I started playing golf for fun when I was 12 with my brother, and I had grown up playing baseball which I continued into high school. BUT I actually never hit a slice and I found I naturally had an overly strong grip position naturally when aligned. Thought that was interesting, got lucky with that cause it led to me really enjoying golf probably more than I would have, and I played golf in high school getting a lot of free golf, and it became a huge passion in my life.

[@johngrady7390]

This all makes sense to me but I have been playing golf a long time and is a great explanation on how to fix the slice. I think it would be helpful to explain what impact the swing path and face angle are having on the ball. With a slice the ball spins clockwise looking down, with a draw counterclockwise (right handed player). The spin is what causes the ball to move left or right from center. Thanks for the great content Grant and GG

[@donaldwood8574]

I would like for you to cover some gear related questions. I was in a golf shop once, when a customer wanted new grips on his brand new clubs. After a short diagnosis from the pro, it was determined he didn't need new grips at all, but just that he was using a golf glove that was to big which caused him to get blisters. Can we cover some things like proper fitting golf gloves, what causes tears in them or why they wear in certain places. (eg.. wrong grip causes more wear on thumb pad. etc... ) Also like when purchasing golf shoes, what to look for to get a good pair? What are sdvantages of golf shoes? etc...What items are needed in the bag as a minimum? What to look for in a bag?

[@xSRGxJake]

Grant, thank you! I stopped slicing just off my grip change. However, I developed the grant lip out in return… a fair exchange 😂

[@graysonallenn]

I was hitting a massive slice every shot in one of my rounds. Then, all I did was close my glove hand a tiny bit so I could see more of the logo and the very next shot was dead straight. Obviously now I’m working at a better swing path but just that slight grip change made a huge impact.

[@brianschott5682]

Great tip. Going to try it ASAP

[@fritty9927]

Nice vid guys. Let me say though that there is nothing wrong with a baseball grip. Some instructors even recommend it for better control (info golf channel). I’ve used it successfully for 50 years . I might add that some pros (very few)have used baseball grip.

[@danielwalker875]

I got access to a track man recently and this helped so so much!!! I could tell I wasn’t closing the face enough kept going way right. I practiced with this for about 30 minutes. After I played 9 holes and after my last 4 9 holes we’re in 55 I shot a 42 after working on this! Thanks so much grant!!!!!!!!

I think a lot of younger gen love that. I'm in my 30s and I watch a lot of content from educators and it's night and day how they talk through a video. Which, I don't expect these guys to do that.

[@callumalderson5109]

Hook is exactly opposite to slice, you're too far inside on the downswing and closing the face too much. Often shoulders rotating too early on downswing can cause both if it's only your driver doing it

[@benstoddard1040]

@@callumalderson5109 thanks! What would you recommend I do to help with that? Any drills or something I need to think about during my swing?

[@callumalderson5109]

@@benstoddard1040 I would suggest taking a video of your swing first, find out if you are rotating early. If you are work on turning your hips through first and then follow with shoulders. It could be that you are also hitting the driver in a similar way to your irons, meaning hitting down too much. Again take a side on video to look at attack angle. Driver swing should stay wider of your body and be on an upward trajectory when you make contact with the ball. Being wider doesn't mean to move towards an out to in swing btw, think of your swings as 2 circles of different sizes. Your iron swing is smaller and further forward resulting in a downward impact with compression. The driver is a bigger circle further back leading to an upward impact. Hope I've not confused you with the wording. If there is somewhere you can get data like they're using here from the trackman that's also very helpful as you can see the numbers and most simulator software can show you the club at impact both with open Vs closed as well as trajectory

You’re lucky. Just open the face. If the ball is starting too far right, you just need to swing more left instead of out
