This is a good drill to really exaggerate your swing path to try to stop the slicing. All right, what’s up golfers? So, in this video, I’m going to show you how to stop slicing the golf ball. Okay, I’m going to be talking about driver because that’s what a lot of people slice the golf ball with. You can do this drill with really any club in your bag. Um, but I’m just going to showcase it with driver. So, one thing that I like to really teach and promote is education. Okay. I’m a firm believer that if you are on the golf course and you understand what you’re doing wrong, then you can try to fix it mid round and that round doesn’t turn out to be a blowup round and you get super frustrated and upset, right? A lot of people don’t. They just golf and they say, “Oh, I had a bad round or I’ve been slicing it. I have no idea why.” So my goal is to teach people and tell them the kind of the fundamentals and mechanics on what they can do um or what they are doing as slicing. Okay. So the first thing obviously is when you slice the golf ball that means that your path is out to in with an open club face. Okay? You cannot slice the golf ball when you have an in to out swing path and a closed club face. Okay. So, a lot of times golfers that don’t understand mechanics a lot of the times or don’t, you know, maybe you can’t physically rotate a certain way, so you’re limited a little bit. A lot of the times is people call it the over the top move. Okay, the over the top move that can be caused by a lot of things. I don’t really like that term just because it it’s so vastly used that everyone’s like, “Oh, I’m coming over the top.” Well, there’s a lot of things that happen with that. So, um, typically what happens is you start, you obviously come over the top, you come down the line and then people like to stand up or you just don’t rotate your face and you end up slicing the golf ball, right? You leave your face open. Um, number of factors. You could be swinging too fast. you could be doing a lot of things wrong, but this is a good drill to really exaggerate your swing path to try to stop the slicing. Okay, so what I have here is I have an alignment stick. Okay, so let’s say we’re aiming between those two trees down there. Okay, so my aim point on the video, hopefully you can see this, is somewhere around there. I want the golf ball to land in that zone. So, what I can do is I can try to set up an alignment stick that points pretty far that way. Okay. Um, that’s a little exaggerated. I don’t want to end up hitting this tree. So, I’m going to try to line it up with the outside of those tree branches if you can see. Okay. So, what we can do here is this really helped a lot of golfers, and I’ll probably move this way a little bit, is what I like to see is I want your body and everything still pointed middle of the trees or wherever your aim point is, but I want this alignment stick to be pointed to the right. Right? If I’m a right-handed golfer, I want it pointed that way. So, what I did is there was a junior golfer this year who really struggled with this, and this drill really helped her. She actually started doing this on the T- box during tournaments. Okay. So, what you can do is you essentially you want to take your club head and follow the alignment stick, right? You can use a ruler, you can use a stick you found on the ground, you can paint something maybe with some chalk on the grass, but you got to have it at extreme. So, you take your club head, you start out in front, you swing back, and then you want to start down and follow your club head on that alignment stick. Okay. Um, one thing you can do is you can really try to rotate your wrists over, right? You just you’re just swinging and you’re practicing that swing. Okay. You don’t have to hit the ground. You don’t need to break your drive or anything. But, um, yeah. So, what she did on the tee was actually she had her ball teed up. She started her driver out here, swung back, and then hit it and hit like just little baby draws all day long. She’s like, “Can I do this?” I was like, “Yeah, of course you can do that. You can do whatever you want. Just try not to hit the golf ball on your backs on your, you know, takeaway.” I don’t recommend everybody do that, but this is a really good drill. You can again try this with an iron or something, but drivers a good club because it’s the longest and a lot of people struggle with it. So again, you can start here. You follow it back. You drop your hands. You want to follow that club head on that alignment stick. You can twist your hands over. Right. If you’re swinging into out, you’re going to promote a draw bias swing and you’re going to hopefully stop your slicing. You cannot slice the ball golf ball if you swing way out unless you just push it like way out of bounds, right? That’s more of just a push. But if you slice the golf ball, you’re over the top, face is open, and it’s just, you know, banana slicing. So, let’s try let’s try one here. Um, I’m going to tee it up kind of close to this. Let’s see. That’s a little high for my liking. This will probably swing a golf club in a in a couple minutes here, but I’m going to aim a little more extreme to the left. Maybe I’m going to try to aim just right of that big tree. See if you can see it down there. And let’s see if the camera can capture um a draw by a swing. And you don’t have to swing hard at the moment. You can just, you know, baby swing it or whatever you want to do. That was a very low probably I don’t know five yard draw. Let’s try one again. It’s this kind of feels uncomfortful to me, but if someone again when I teach drills, you have to be way exaggerated, okay? You cannot do things that are minuscule that don’t really impact anything. You have to do something that feels very unnatural to get the feeling in your mind that you’re making progress or you’re doing anything. Okay, so let’s see if I can’t do this again. That was kind of a fade. Both really good shots. Um, probably really bad examples of, you know, what you can try to do. Um, but again, you don’t have to hit a golf ball. You can kind of rehearse this. I love visual aids. That’s the type of learner that I am. Um, so again, you want to set up relatively square to whatever your target point is. Then you want to throw an alignment stick down. that’s pointed away from you. You want to take your club head, you want to follow that alignment stick with your swing, and then you want to follow it on your, you know, your down swing, your impact position, or whatever. And then just get some feelings. Like, you don’t have to have a complete finishing swing. You can just kind of take little baby swings and get that feeling down. And hopefully it’ll start with you making a into out swing path. Again, you can always feel like you’re twisting your wrists over a little bit. See if that helps. And um someone try this drill at home. See if it helps. Let me know.
