The Truth About How to Fix Your Slice

[@IsaachHinesFilms]

Honestly the best tip I've ever had the pleasure of finding. After about 150 range balls today, I can confidently say this is the most amazing video I have ever seen on the internet

[@TheOnlyStonemason]

Matt: watch me hit a slice Me: you suck at slicing bro 😂

[@pursuitofpar]

This sir....was....ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE!!!!!!! What a great tip!!!! This answered so many questions about what I'm doing with my driver. It's almost like I just had a one on one coaching session with you!

[@cutbyoccam1948]

Ditto that.

[@patrickstewart6090]

Eureka! The Magic happened yesterday at Mission Inn, after 20 years of being “Slice King”! Sweet Baby Draw appeared, not just once but every drive. Bend the Knee or squat to smack! It works ! Thanks Matt

[@frankieboy5139]

Just wait.. Like waiting for your wife to get ready. I literally did laugh out loud. Brilliant..

[@taylorcurrey7369]

Hopefully she doesn’t watch his videos. Haha If we don’t see him for a while, we know what happened.

[@derekfinch4582]

Same here.

[@walnutinvestment]

I had just been frustratingly swinging ~50 shots that had negative club path (slice). I sat down to watch your video. Stood up, practiced your advice, and the next 10 all “magically” had positive club path. Wonderful!

[@FrostyPumpernickle]

this is 100% my problem because my two misses are a push/fade/slice and a hard pull left. thank you for the detail!

[@1xRacer]

This is the greatest instructional video on KZbin

[@thegeodude9461]

I’ve watched this three times, can’t wait to try this at the range tomorrow...

[@thegeodude9461]

I finally got to go try this this and I think it is going to help me! Definitely struggled at first but I believe my timing was really off. I’m going to keep practicing this because the hits I made that felt good did seem to have a much straighter flight than normal... Thank you for this advice!

[@ottawapop]

Wow. I just spent 4 weeks figuring this out after my driver started to go sideways. I wish I saw this video first because it’s bang on what corrected me. Great job.

[@scottcarpenter910]

LMAO!!! I was sitting and watching this tonight relaxing (cause I get a lot out of your instruction, it’s great) and my wife was sitting in the room with me. ‘It’s like waiting for your wife to get ready’. Omg I almost died!! Lol 😂 I got in a little trouble cause I started laughing but it was so worth it! Lol. Keep up the good work 😉😂

[@Gregc63]

Matt, that has to be the best explanation I have ever heard to correct the "over the top" move. Makes a lot of sense and I have been playing for 40+ years and even took lessons as a teenager! Great video! Thanks!

[@williamstanley6804]

This is probably THE best video and tip I’ve seen for helping to fix a slice!! Made absolute perfect sense and can’t wait to try this down the range!!

[@martinmoore7551]

Thanks Matt for another great piece of advice. In 45 years of trying to play the game I have never heard that piece of advice from any other Pro. Am I being cynical in thinking the reason could be that they simply want their customers to continualy go back for the same lesson time and time again. Your integrity does you proud. Best coach on You Tube. Stay safe my friend.

[@jeromesville]

This is the best explanation of how to fix over the top I’ve ever seen. I’ve noticed that pro golfers like Tiger seem to drop their hands in the slot at the top of the backswing but I never realized it was because of the left knee bend. I’ll be working on this today. 👍

[@jelleindeherberge]

i realise this video is prety old by now but i would still like to take a second and say thank you for this one. Seen a lot of video's and even read some books and all are saying the downswing starts in the hips. This had me so focused on starting with hip rotation and i never realised that this was creating my slice with my driver. Going to work on this this weekend. many thanks

[@tonyhalpin1320]

Lots of fix your slice videos on KZbin......that is the best one I have seen.

[@dezinetech1000]

So I went to the range today and did the left knee thing and it works!!! This was the missing puzzle piece to my swing. My original swing issue was that I turned too early and wasn’t slicing but would fade. when I recorded myself I noticed I started to turn too soon and look exactly like your demonstration in this vid. Like I said before, you’re the first golf pro to point out the left knee. Everyone kept say to move hips laterally which I tried but didn’t work. When you explained the knee a light built just went on. Thank you so much. Now my swing looks pretty legit. Not turning too early. Start with leading knee and my arm drops in the slot and let it rip and the ball blasts off with no fade or slice. I’m excited to get back on the course soon. Thank you so much for this great demonstration and info! I’ll be watching your vids.

[@lopetisantos1279]

This was incredibly helpful! Everyone always talk about positioning but having triggers for sequence is sheer brilliance! So helpful thank you sir!

[@johnherman3261]

😂😂😂😂Matt you crack me up that’s why your the best. Waiting for your wife to get ready, I hear ya brother. The best video yet, however you didn’t talk about turning the screw and finishing the shot. I’m playing today I’ll try this today. Your the best. Be safe my friend!

[@hunterlorance636]

I been playing golf for ten years suffered a back injury and have hit a slice ever since could not figure out what happened I never sliced. now it all makes sense thank you so much!

[@michaelstockley7897]

This totally works and the clearest explanation I have heard. My bad driver swing (huge pull to the left) is the bit at 4:40 in. I watched this one day, took it to the course the next day - no driving range so no practice with a ball - a few practice swings on the first tee, slowed right down because I didn't know what was going to happen. Played 9 holes, 7 with driver - hit every fairway, some dead straight, a couple with a residual fade - 3 were as long as I have ever hit them, with probably 10 mph slower than normal. Off 23 - this I am sure will change my game

[@scott.howell]

These presentations are exactly the way I would want them if the site belonged to me. Thank You and this happens to be the only comment I have ever posted!

[@christopherwhitehead8946]

Fantastic video. You are definitely my favourite coach on KZbin. Great content, sharp focus, clear message, and top sound quality

[@dano5378]

Seriously this is the best tip I’ve ever heard of,totally thank you

[@patrickandrade3078]

MrShortGame...Thank you again! Right away you showed me in 40 seconds what I've been developing the last few months and what I need to correct. Now I just need to practice perfect to make progress.

[@grahamarnott7924]

No way! That is me exactly. I have been to so many instructors trying to get rid of my L -> R shape (which they call a nice power fade) and they all mess around with all sorts of things and it has just made things worse. The video, the message and the 'wait' and 'move' makes so much sense. Thank you so much :)

[@arashghazanfari3398]

i'm trying to get rid of my fades now for draws

[@mattschmidt365]

Not all superheroes wear capes! Thank you Matt for the instructional material that has helped me realize some of my flaws in my golf swing. The game is a lot more fun when you are hitting better shots!

[@024xp]

haha without ever meeting you once, you perfectly analyzed my swing, and showed me how to fix it. amazing. thank you.

[@Metzmelter]

Man, I have been struggling with this exact swing for years. I have watched countless and I mean countless videos on over the top and I understand now what is going on. My swing can be a slice, extreme slice, straight shot but way left and sometimes a down the middle and I couldn’t figure how to cure it. I feel like I have a good swing but struggle big time with my driver. Thank you for the video and explaining it. Can’t wait to try this drill in the spring! Thanks man!

[@stephenfrazeur7791]

Can't wait to take this to the range and then to Hole 1 and 18 at my club course, where I'm always in the opposing fairway with trees blocking my 2nd shot to the green, all due to my push slice. Thx Matt......keep 'em comin'!

[@GolfWannaBePro]

6:30 you catched my attention. Brilliant point! Thank you so much!

[@Will-hy1hj]

Your tips help so much I am a beginning golfer haven’t golfed more than 10 times I’m already threatening to par the course shot seven holes last week parred 6 one over

[@mikeedwards9437]

Glad to have you on the East Coast; I'm SE NC. Watched you for a couple of years. Great help to my game.

[@pthomas36]

I think that for me, this is THE most valuable video you've made. Thanks so much. I can't wait to practice this.

[@williamgouteron4106]

Tu as changé mon swing de golf ⛳️ ! Merci 🙏🏻 simple efficace du putter au bois , le driver j y travaille !

[@Kenny_Mars]

I kept losing the odd drive with the dreaded slice, this video cured it. I was so close from some of your other drills and this one totally clicked. I'm hitting draws with my driver, unbelievable 😆

[@nicolasperalta1504]

Fantastic!!!! That helped me tremendously!!!!!

[@mnelson1317]

Wow this might have just changed my golf life!!! I’ve watched every video and this is the first one that worked I had the depth I just couldn’t figure out why I was still coming over the top The knee trick is brilliant

[@20ftCloserOutdoors]

I love your videos. You make your instructional videos so detailed and simple to understand! Definitely have helped my game a lot! Now all I need is to upgrade my driver since I’ve been playing the same one for over 10 years

[@Revel214]

I feel better after watching your assessment of the slice drive Matt. Was out Monday on an early morning round and was slicing so badly that I ended up leaving my driver in the bag after the 4th hole and about 6 balls into the woods off the previous tees. Will get out and practice this change and will keep trying to hit straighter drives - thanks a lot Matt - glad to see you have settled in nicely in your new home.

[@markhamby853]

this one move has changed my game!!!

[@frankcanzanella6753]

You can want at times to give up on the game (curiosity killed the cat and information brought him back) but when you reflect on the day you gain insight. The egg came before the chicken! Let’s keep life straight forward. Thanks

[@btrav667]

OK. I'm fixing this today at the range. I was using the "wait" method last year and it worked pretty well in...... NOVEMBER! just as the courses were closing in the NE. Trouble is, I haven't been able to find that 1/4 of a second of patience that I need in my swing THIS year. I was mostly low 80's and occasionally high 70's last year from late July on. This year I am high 80's with an occasional 82 or 83. and its all from the erratic driver: slices and pulls. I have high hopes for this move. I love this channel. Thanks for the tip.

[@terryholloway9930]

Thanks Matt first time anyone has showed me how to stop coming over the top you the man baby can’t wait to practice this oooraw!

[@briane9729]

I love your videos, but this is far and away my favorite! Such a great mechanics video and the wife comment absolutely slayed me. Keep up the great content! (even thought this is 2 years old now)

[@isidrobarajas2745]

I was waiting for him to say something else because bending that knee is what has helped me and BOOM 💥 He says it! Lol YES my friends it is in the knee and lag created by the knee movement ! Great video like always!!!! God bless.

[@billdavidson3848]

Taking this tip to the driving range today. Perfect explanation of what I have been doing wrong all these years.

[@kip2095]

This is mint! Simple move and easy fix! You are the man! Just tried at range. Yes!!!! Straight and gained 20-30 yards!

[@Will-hy1hj]

Thank you for all your help brother makes a huge difference just a beginner haven’t golfed but maybe 10 times I’m threatening to par the course already I don’t know how or why but I know your tips have a lot to do with it I shot seven holes last week parted six one over

[@derekfinch4582]

Another great instructional from Matt.

[@mittsoutdoors9240]

Wow 🤯🤯🤯🤯. All the drills I’ve watched and am planning to do on my next trip to the range and this just opened my mind !! Thanks !!

[@Nigelrathbone1]

Matt I really like your teaching style- you get to what actually matters without sounding pedantic

[@jrshields3]

Might be your best instructional video yet. Great job!

[@dollahite7]

I’ve had a fade as a seemingly “natural” swing for as long as I’ve been playing. This is such a game changer! Recently found your channel and have been spamming your videos! Much love from Texas

[@bigalcranking3956]

Thanks for the knee movement tip. Got my swing back on track using your knee tip. Best tip I have had in a long time.

[@pauldavis8286]

I seldom hit a slice, but noticed that I will "pull hook" my driver on occasion. I attribute this to the "over the top" move you just showed and the fact that my clubface is square or slightly closed when I hit the ball. I believe your video has given me the cure for this occasional issue! Thanks for another great video!!

[@kushumksikdar4437]

A brilliant Vid .Matts videos are some of the best I have seen. Can't wait to try this out . He makes it so interesting and explains the instructions really well. Please keep posting these videos. Tanks Matt.

[@natpro30]

Great explanation. Its like that little light that goes off. Now it makes sense. Thank you!

[@pagnedaman3777]

I just had a revelation brought on thanks to watching this video. I looked at the bottom of my driver when I was thinking about this and noticed the tee marks are so consistent in one direction and they are indicative of coming over the top. I'm playing tomorrow morning and I am so excited to go try some things out.

[@ryanadamczak4739]

11:20-11:26 Great visual explanation.

[@ronm2970]

I’ll try it. Good tip. Tend to come over the top.

[@therevolvingmonk]

I discovered this move through trial and error trying to fix my slice off the tee with woods/driver. Glad I watched this video for confirmation. I've had a terrible time trying to figure out a consistent fix for my slice and I'm going to try implementing this move more. 2021 was my first season playing as an adult after not playing the game since I was a kid. Once I got some reps on the range, I got very consistent with my irons and have a ton of confidence in my mid/approach skills but slicing off the tee has a huge snowball effect on the rest of my game. That first shot off the tee being consistently bad really sabotages everything else.

[@GlennPenaDriver]

That’s the SECRET SAUCE I’ve been searching for. You explained everything so well. Mahalo for sharing. 🤙🏽

[@gregherman7906]

Thank you so much for game-changing content. I can honestly say I have improved thanks to you. Keep up the great work! You are top shelf

[@genxer39]

Genus! I've had instructors change every part of my swing. Which ends up making things worse. Thanks for this helpful tip.

[@libsrcrazy9634]

Probably your best video ever. Love it

[@christopherpress4550]

love this guys personality and knowledge

[@mikewschan]

Gonna give this a try for sure. Thanks.

[@jofido]

Great lesson. Thanks.

[@marsolinantonio8966]

Very clear explanation.

[@canadabeerdrinkers6835]

Awesome awesome awesome Been fighting a slice since I started golf first time 15 years ago I’ve never seen this or heard of this it worked great thank you very much

[@jordanflynn4600]

Thank you so much for the video. I've used this advice for 5 rounds now. I went from a wicked slice, hitting on the adjacent fairway to having 300 plus. I still occasionally have a rare left shank but its still golf. Also since I've used this advice I have drove 2 green that were 350 yards away. They played more like 275 if you cut the trees. Thank you so much.

[@doc_johnholliday9642]

Your tips are amazing. I didn’t go to range but played 27 holes yesterday and with only the one little knee movement got me to one hard left and the rest small fade. Only lost the one left pull ball. The rest was pretty much down the middle or at least playable shots. I never would have thought of the knee movement. It feels like it just automatically puts me on a better swing plan with only the one thought

[@christianchamberlain5111]

This is so helpful! Thank you!!

[@dezinetech1000]

Holy crap this is the first time I’ve seen someone mentioning the front knee. This is exactly what I was doing wrong and what I needed. Thanks for this info! I’ll go to the range this week. Your swing is powerful and beautiful! Hopefully I can get my swing to look somewhat like yours this week lol.

[@kterlau1036]

Another great program my friend. Be well.

[@chrisbarham288]

This is great. Thanks, Matt!

[@brettbutler1998]

Great breakdown of points in time of the swing onya Mat

[@davidrobbins1936]

FANTASTIC video! Trying sooo hard to add this to my swing to stop the over the top 🤞 Thanks! Keep up the great vids!

[@lindsayboakes8255]

I really needed this video, your deliberate misses are better than most of my decent shots. Great instructional video MR SG.

[@Frostie10]

Very well explained! Clear, logical and easy to understand. Well done.

[@frankcanzanella6753]

Great tip. Something I can’t overlook. It has to be part of my meditative golf swing. If you can’t imagine a golf swing, then it’s because you have weakness in your swing. Though I can meditate on my swing you are showing me how to powerfully meditate on my swing. Thanks

[@jwneuend]

Great explanation. Thank you.

[@chaoyuan]

Great advice of gap-filler! Thank you!

[@vebjrnsolemsli2367]

you are a legend! i dedicate my journey from a 36 hcp to a 17 to you, and i`m not finished yet!

[@henryyang3695]

wonderful explanation

[@briangillespie2977]

Love the video - when you mentioned waiting on your swing - i can really related to that, and something i havent heard any other golfer say when it comes to the "over the top move"... I am a competitive international class tenpin bowler for scotland - we are constantly telling people to wait on there swing, and take all the muscle out - same thing applies, however in bowling we would describe the swing as more of a pendulum motion, golf is somewhat the same, however the motion is just on another axis. I have been playing golf for 18 months or so, and i have a huge problem with slicing - i found that slowing everything down, starting from the takeaway really allowed me to sync everything up much better and even though i still fade the ball, its now much more controllable and consistent... obviously slowing everything does wont be the answer for everyone, but its kind of on the same lines as you mentioned. If you wait on the swing more, not only should you feel when things go off easier you will also be able to sync everything up much easier !!! Keep up the great videos

[@dezinetech1000]

Your probably an outside/in swing which is a slicer swing as mention in this vid. You don’t know until you see yourself on video. You just need to play more. I know you just started to play. I would recommend taking a few lesson to get the fundamentals down then work from there. At least start with good habits and with time you can increase your speed with good fundamentals and habits.

[@drumhead7.553]

You the man!! Thank you for all your experience you’re sharing with us!! We love ya back!! Have a great one!

[@chrisjackson1266]

Excellent points in this video. Nice fades!

[@jamalhepburn7029]

Man Mr short game other videos always tell me what to do with the left knee but not why? Nicely done I can't wait to try this on the range.

[@jmd3ob]

Great swing thought! I can’t wait to try it out . Thanks Matt

[@franksantamaria1073]

Can’t wait to try this one!
