if you close the club before you hit. on you downstroke your stance will have change a bit and it should make the club straight. thats what i think of every time i go to hit and it always works for me
Great info. I think it’s also important to mention one other thing that really helped me cure my slice. I found that I had a lot of tension and was trying to over-rotate and open up in an effort to “get around” on the ball quicker. This, combined with too steep a backswing, was causing me to hit outside-in on the ball. Even with a square club face this will also cause a slice. I found focusing on pushing inside out with my swing, really helped to get around properly and even draw the ball.
Thanks for sharing what has worked for you! 🙂
This is what i have done as well because of my natural swing for baseball. My hips were early and my hands were getting “stuck” because of my early firing hips forcing me to slice. But like cgstube i started focusing on trying to swing from the inside out and almost like you are going to hit a baseball to right field. It is dirrerent at first but learning to swing from the inside out has so much to do with squaring up through impact.
“Starting out with a more closed club face.” I heard it is more important to fix your swing rather than adjusting your clubs to your swing???
I agree with you to a certain extent, but I think it just depends on the situation. If you have someone who only plays a few times a year & isn’t willing or doesn’t have time to practice, this can be a good option for minimizing slices.
..as another example, one time I flew to visit a family member & I had to borrow some clubs. The lie angles were flatter than my personal clubs & I was hitting cuts on the first couple holes. So for the rest of the day, I just closed the club in a little at address & made my normal swing.
2 wrongs dont make a right, dont think u should tamper with your grip or clubface, it is a solution but there is better solutions out there
I understand where you are coming from…but who is to say that a stronger grip is a “wrong” grip? I know numerous touring professionals who have very strong grips and/or who make grip/clubface adjustments to change their ball flight. While these may not be the best solutions for everyone, they are certainly both very valid for some…and within the boundaries of the rules for all.
definitely hear what ur saying. thing is d same pro that might use a strong grip for one shot will be able to use a weak grip for d nxt if he so wishes as his swing plane will be level but with 90% of golfers with a slice if they strengthen their grip and still have the out to in swing plane, it will be a solution but not d best solution
yea..its all in ur swing
Tuning your club to your swing is a decent temporary fix. But for long term, I would much rather tune my swing. Right now I have to place my driver’s head on the far side of the ball, and the face parallel to the ground to correct for my slice. That is some severe closure on the club. I have been watching many videos to fix this issue, and think I have found one. I hope it’s just in my grip and release. We’ll see next course.
Warning these tips are ridiculas for beginner golfers, Its better to fix the problem rather than buying equipment that does that for you, then what happens if you actually improve and become a good golfer? Your left with Clubs that will give you a hook, What an idiot!
Actually, I think they are really good tips for any level of golfer. Having less tension & making smaller swings without a ball can both help address the “problem” of an open club face. I also know numerous professional tournament players that employ strong grips to help straighten out their ball flight. As for custom club-fitting, much like fingerprints, we all have our own unique swings. Professionals grind & bend their clubs to their liking…it’s only smart for amateurs to do the same.
You can also be a good golfer and still have a swing with “problems”. Watch “The Strangest Swings in All of Golf” video on YouTube.
Warning you are a fucking idiot. Why don’t you learn to spell before trying to give other people advice? (ridiculous you moron) And he gave 5 tips, not the only one you mentioned. He told you 4 things to fix before mentioning the equipment. You sir, are an idiot, stop making posts.
Hi, I played yesterday and followed your tips. I cut my score by a 3rd and won the game!!!! Not sure who was more suprised, my mates or me 🙂
Many thanks!
A buddy of mine (another old pro) has a system that guarantees you’ll break 80 in a couple weeks. golferbreak80dotcom
Serious question. Wouldn’t an open club face make you push the ball directly of the tee? What if the ball starts in the direction you are aiming and dramatically slices right from there? I do this. Could this be that my club head is square at impact, but I’m putting an outside to inside swing on it? If so, how do I fix this?
Have you ever been custom fit for your lie angles? If your shots are going to the right, your swing “may” be fine and your clubs are just a little too flat. Tiger actually has his irons bent up 1 degree of standard to fit his swing.
An open club face relative to your swing path could cause a push…it could also cause slice spin…or both.
Hehe, I keep running out of space trying to answer this. :-p Send me a private message if you like and I can explain further and answer your questions.
C’mon dude. Everyone knows the fastest way to cure a slice is to aim way left.
great video!
i agree i like my fade
I had the exact same problem, it’s likely an “over the top” slice, caused by your hands/club taking the backswing on one plane, then swinging down on a different plane that is much more vertical than the backswing. what made immediate improvement on mine was to involve the torso more on the back swing. make sure your rib cage and shoulders turn away from the target on your back swing, and concentrate on a less vertical downswing
@sertshark the more left you aim the bigger the slice
