Never slice again. Discover the permanent golf swing fix to end slicing forever (and ‘actually’ start drawing the ball).

Millions of golfers struggle with slicing the golf ball. Over 90% of them have a slice problem. “I swung over the top” is one of the most common phrases in golf.

The slice problem is a huge epidemic affecting golfers everywhere. Despite advances in golf swing technology and the latest equipment, most golfers slice the ball. Why do we continue to fight the slice?

The simple answer is that “we were taught to slice”.

Traditional golf swing techniques encourage slicing habits. Moves that forced us to swing across the ball. Moves that make it even harder to hit a beautiful baby draw.

If you’ve been fighting a slice for years, you know its robbing you of distance and accuracy. It’s why you can’t hit driver or your long irons. It’s why you struggle with golf ball striking.

This is why no amount of golf tips will permanently fix your slice. Most tips are band-aids that mask swing flaws. What you need is a total solution, not a tip.

That’s why I’m showing you a complete slice elimination process. The exact formula that’s transformed severe slicers into routine drawers of the golf ball. And, get this. These golfers are extremely happy with their games now.

The good news. When you follow the exact steps in today’s video, you will turn your slice into that beautiful baby draw. You will strike your irons solid. You will hit your driver long and straight.

The impact on your golf game is immediate. Once you stop your slice, your scores will drop. You will have more fun playing golf.

Let’s beat the slice once and for all.

You might ask yourself why golfers struggle with slicing and why almost every golfer in history has had a slicing problem. The ball goes off the planet way to the right. Woo! Gone. See you. Out of the park. Out of play. Just I’ll take that. OB, please. I think it’s important for you as golfers to know why we have a slicing problem. Because if you don’t know why you’re slicing, you’re going to try millions of different random tips until you get something that works. And the reality is, if you’ve been slicing for a while, none of those tips have helped you. So, we’re going back. We’re going deep. We’re going to the root cause. We’re going to look at the slice. We’re going to look at why most golfers slice and how to fix this epidemic with a very simple drill. And you might be tempted right now to say, “Okay, Tom, I’m going to skip everything you have to say. I’m going to go right to the end of video and just do the drill. Don’t do that. And if you’re one of those people, I know I know who’s doing that. I’m watching. Because if you don’t know why, you’ll be no better off. The drill will not help you. You need to know the why. And then we can do the how. The slice. The anatomy of a slice. Where is the slice coming from? What causes it? The biggest reason golfers slice is they swing steep down and across the golf ball. You’re like, “Tom, I already know that. I’ve researched a million over the top videos at this point.” Good. We’ve got that out of the way. Another reason, poor face control. So, many slicers have the club face too open at impact. And one of the main reasons why golfers do this is they have very active hands in their swing. And they rotate this club face open, open, open. When they start down, they have this across their body swing path with a very open face. You have no hope for the golf ball to go straight at this point. We’ve lost contact with Baker Company. So to fix a slice, we have to look at what causes those things. Why is your path brutally across? Why is your club face open? And it goes back to the root of traditional instruction. I know because I have old footage of my swing where I’m severely over the top and I should never show you because you will have PTSD from seeing such a thing. The way most golfers are taught to swing the club involved a few different pieces. We’re going to look at some setup pieces for one. So, the first one is the straight back setup, pushing the butt out. So, a more upright posture with the butt out locks the lower back in place, locks the knees. We’re even taught at that point to kick this knee in sometimes. Keep it flexed. So, you’ve got this whole structural rigidity of locked leg, locked hips, locked back. When you get into swinging the club, you’re often taught to keep that same amount of restriction throughout. And so, what do you get? a slice. You are literally setting up the slice. Keeping restriction here. As I swing back, I’m forced to have the club travel more vertical, higher hands, higher arms. The only way I can start down is by going steeper and across or I’ve got to severely reroute the club. But that introduced a whole host of other issues. And we’re not talking about that. We’re talking about the slice. Most of you have the problem of slicing. and it’s all going right back to your setup. This restriction causes the slice path and it’s in it’s innately built into the posture there. Another reason why golfers are slicing, I mentioned the face control issue. So, a lot of golfers were taught, myself included, that early in the back swing, as you’re keeping this restriction, you rotate the hands, get the club toe up. So, you can see the club face is rotating here, going from where I started at a dress to here. Okay, that doesn’t seem like much, does it? Well, watch as we go back. Most continue rotating. By the time you get to the top, you’ve got this very open club face. And when I start down, it’s wide. It’s looking over at that house over there. Impact always going to be open, which means you’re closed for business. It’s not going to work. Ball’s gone. We were taught to slice. How many of you have been told to up? How many of you been told lift your arms? How many have you been told that because you’ve gotten toe up, you have to release your hands by rotating them? You’re all taught this as normal. I remember because I learned those normal things. They were in the weekly golf digest. They were in the monthly golf digest. Those things all contribute to an across the ball swing path and a slice. Higher arms, steeper down across. So, the only thing people can teach you then to hit the ball well is they say, “Get rid of your driver. Use your 3-wood only. And by the way, turn your hands more and more over through impact to get your face closed down so you can at least hit it straight, which doesn’t work. It’s a temporary solution, a band-aid to the real problem.” And in desperation, many coaches will tell you, “Hey, just strengthen your grip more. Turn your hand more over on the club.” But this leads to a whole host of other issues including flipping at impact. So what is the solution for this epidemic of slicing? The solution is we have to change the base program that you were taught at birth into the golf world. That means doing the opposite of everything you’ve been told. That was my reaction when I discovered the solution and got rid of my slice forever. Just what you want to change everything. I know, but check this out. And I want you to approach this with an open mind, especially for my slicers who have been done with slicing forever. We’re gonna change the setup immediately. All right. Instead of this really stiff upright back, I want you to bend forward down toward the ball more and unlock this lower back by having a gentle rounding of your spine. So, no no more stiff arched S posture. Instead, changing to relaxed. Just like you’re standing up and you’re at a dinner party. Hey, I got the cocktail in this hand. I got my hand in the other hand. There’s my name tag. Hi, Bill. Nice to meet you. Let’s talk about your slice problem. Just take this handshake and this cocktail, preserve the cocktail or beer in the upright position and then bend down toward the ball and shake hands with the golf ball and just relax. So your hips are relaxed when you do this. You’re not Do you ever go around a dinner party going? Maybe someone has. I’m not going around dinner party like that. Chiropractors love to see that at dinner parties, though. So, preserve the integrity of the drink, but just bend forward with a relaxed hip. Relax your body. Let your arms hang. You should feel nice and comfy, not actively restricting your body. From here, we have a platform to stop slicing. Now, we’re going to get into arm setup. Get your elbows close together and tuck that arm in. So, trail arm under. And I want you to really exaggerate. And then from there, once you’ve got that set, grip the club. You’ll feel like this arm is well under. I could stick a club between my elbow and my h my arm. If somebody was to poke me with that club, I don’t have somebody poke me right now, but you could stick the grip end of your club underneath here and it would go through the other side of my arm. You’ll see a gap in here. With this extreme right arm setup, you’ve done a couple things. We’ve changed the back swing path and we’ve changed the down swing path. So now with this, as I swing back, powered by the shoulders, you see the club traces more of an inward path. And this inward path is essential. It eliminates all the slicing habits from the old posture. Instead of restriction, you’re now allowed to turn. So we’re under and the shoulders are going around the body more. The club’s traveling in. This inspires the hips to turn more. Try our leg to straighten. So, let’s contrast the two. Old right now restricted vertical starting down this way. New right now. Open your It’s opening up your body to turn more. Hands more behind you. And you’re in a better position to hit the ball from here out. Oh, for the first time ever, in to out in your world as opposed to the out and across, out to in. Just those things in the setup right there will eliminate your slice. I talked about this in a recent setup video. You just get this, got the old posture, upright, stiff trail leg, swing the shoulders normal. It’s a very vertical swing for me. And my old swing was even more vertical than that, believe it or not. But let’s go under. We’re going to introduce a draw into this pattern now. Trail arm under and swing. Entirely different back swing path. Very different strike. In the first strike with the slice path or the slice higher arms type swing, I had a flip at impact. It added tremendous amount of loft. If you saw how high that ball went in the draw in the one I just hit right there, the impact was hands ahead. No flip hitting out to the ball. Ball was starting to draw. And that was a one swing change. Change my setup. Change arm position. Boom. Slice gone. But it doesn’t end there, folks, because I’d say, “Oh, it’s the end of the episode. You’re good to go.” You’re not free yet because there there are things going on in the slicer world that need to be corrected after years of slicing. The number one thing you’re going to deal with is your weight falling back. So, we have to counteract this by setting a lot of weight forward. I want you to go what you think is 100% weight forward. Weight forward is important. It eliminates the restriction of this leg, hip, and lower back. So, by setting the weight more forward and getting 100% here, few awesome things are going to happen. One, it’s difficult to lift your arms. Yeah, you could lift them and throw the club straight down, but we’re swinging our shoulders. So, swing the shoulders, club travels more around. That’s in a round back swing because of weight forward. But you set the flex, try and go around, I stop here. So just think about how weight forward is the concept that will allow your swing to allow you to have a bigger back swing while keeping that club traveling on the great the correct path. So we got weight forward, we got arm position, we we’ve corrected a lot of the setup. Now just just going to get into swing. So we’re talking about club face. Now the slicer usually has an open club face problem. This is because of the old idea that we rotate our hands in the back swing and rotate our hands in the down swing. This club face, and you need to know this, wherever this points at impact, the ball will start. So, if you’re continuously rotating this throughout the swing, where’s the ball starting? I don’t know. Everywhere. We need to eliminate the We need to eliminate all this face issue. Eliminate all this rotation. So, as you swing back, you keep this face angled down. We’re going from this to this. The benefits are huge. If I just open the face here, toe up, it’s a natural right shot. But if I keep the face down, angled at the ball in the first few few the first few feet of my swing, keep it down. Keep it down. It’s an it’s it’s proven. It’s instant straight. Look at that. We don’t need a launch monitor to know this. We just have masterful control over the path and face of our swing. As you start your swing back, you’re pointing that keep that face angle board down at the ball. Most of you are such a severe offender. You’re committing this crime so bad of opening the face that for most of you, you have to feel like your knuckles are pointing down at the ground inside the ball here. And as you swing back, you continually turn those knuckles down, down, down, down, down to where you think the club face is super close to the top. But this feeling in reality will get you club angle down, square. Keep it going back. It’s staying square all the way at top, square. Start down, it’s square. It’s no longer here. It’s square. Keep moving through, it’s square. So the the club face at every point of your swing remains square. We don’t have this variable of face control, face rotation. You need to eliminate that. If you want to play great golf at any level, competitive golf, you want to hit straight. If you’re just a weekend warrior, you want to hit straight. Keep the face control. So addressing all of these traditional elements that have been taught for years to golfers, you and I have learned all these traditional elements to get out of the slicing pattern that has been created by years of bad instruction and bad information. We just have to do the opposite. Like that Seinfeld episode where George does the opposite and he gets really successful with things. So, we’ve eliminated path with the arms, arm position. We eliminated face control problems by keeping the face quiet. No hand action. Face down at the ball. Keep no hands all the way to top. Back to impact. So, what do you need to do? And I talked about this drill that I want you to do to confirm that you’re doing it correctly. Do this at any range. You can use one of these. You can use a club caddy thing that thing to hold your clubs or you take a stick. You just place a stick in the ground. If you’re at a range where you got mats, just place a range basket down. Hold the stick in place. Supposedly path. Every slicer is going to go over this stick. So now this focuses on keeping the path of your swing into out. Just swing under it. Don’t touch it. There’s a lot of electricity on this. That was hot. I should have not turned that on. The slicer goes out and over, up, over. You swing under the stick. Focus on swinging under the stick. It will automatically change the path of your swing. It will feel very weird. You’re going to swing more out to the right if you’re a right-hand player. So, getting set, you’ll see the arm position naturally has the club traveling back under that stick. Keeps the club under that stick. That will take care of much of that. This is an added layer of safety. We set up, swing the club back and through, and you start seeing the ball fly nice and straight with a little baby draw. If the ball still flies away from you, meaning it’s going too far to the right for the right-hand player, then check your club face. So, you’re not getting your club face pointed down at the ball enough in the back swing. you’re opening it at some point. So that’s where you start thinking back of glove hand at the ball. That keeps the face square. Back to impact and we’re square and through nice and straight. Keeping the club swing under the stick and then doing an element of face control will fix your slice forever. So this entire slicing problem that golfers all over the world struggle with comes back to just old patterns that we all learned. change the pattern to this new way that eliminates the slice in setup. And just do a couple of swing keys to make sure your slice never ever sets foot on your territory again. [Music]

  1. So very true Tom as this is exactly what I was taught when I first hit a ball in the 70’s, by scratch players! You have a unique way and talent in delivering the truth to help others. Have you ever thought about running for President? If you apply these basic principles to the American people in a larger capacity then it will become a great country once again.

  2. I never slice my ball flight is a draw or a slightly pull draw end up in ruff on left. My bone spurs on my by back are still very bad but im hitting my clubs very good my back is a work in program i need someone to put my ball on tee and remove it from hole after i make putt

  3. You don't want to slice. Three simple words. "Shut your face." Open club face at impact, slice. Closed clubface at impact, no slice. It would also be good if you don't come over the top. I've been playing for 65 years. Don't know how many times I've played with someone who does the big over the top and makes contact with the open face, and then is amazed that he sliced it yet again. A good swing doesn't magically appear. It requires work. To every slicer out there: watch and listen to Tom. And even if you decide his swing isn't for you, you should still absorb what he is teaching, apply it to your swing and say goodbye to the slice. Swing from the inside, close the clubface. You will be so much happier.

  4. In summary:

    -Don’t lock your lower back or your trail leg. Relax your back with a rounded back.

    -Trail arm tucked in your ribcage with elbows together. From the target down view, there should almost be a small gap between your elbows at the setup.

    -Weight forward.

    -Keep the clubface square in the backswing. The club face should match my spine angle from P1 to P2.

    -Swing under the stick drill (plane station).

  5. Tom, great video. I think my back posture is an item i need to double check.
    Question- i struggle with hands forward (towards the target) position. It feels like i am too far forward and break the straight line formed by left arm thru club shaft to ball. But your other videos in head on view show your hands closer in line with your left knee.
    Any thoughts on what i might look at? Thanks!

  6. Tom, was watching you fix that former baseball players swing. you were talking about getting the trail palm facing up….wouldn't that rotate the face open?

  7. Given the level of happiness golf brings the boys (and women), the amount of bad tips out there as it relates to the golf swing should be a criminal act in the United States.

    The fact that “tip” is in an instructional magazine is absolutely insane. Wtf

  8. Unfortunately for me, my season is over. Great video, you had me laughing a few times! Next year, I will work on turning my shoulder more…without forcing it.

  9. Tom, how strong a left hand grip do you recommend for seniors? Some teachers teach a super strong (at least) three knuckle grip.

  10. .. and you pull it all together in no time.. wow, what a summary
    Hard to do I know, but u keep getting better , and so do I
    Thank you

  11. I noticed that at club that has the simulator I use, there is a blue brick floating around with an alignment stick attached. I now know what it is used for – reading the instructions now. Next time I go, I will try it out. I honestly don't know if I would have bought one for myself, but if my cost is literally nothing, it is worth a shot.

  12. I can hit my irons just fine. most of the time they go fairly straight or even with a slight draw. but my driver? A slice it probably close to 3 out of 4 shots and its getting frustrating. I know ill figure it out eventually with the help of my courses head pro but still man it sucks.

  13. Here's a thought. If you were swinging a baseball bat, you would not feel any need to rotate the hands. So just imagine that the club is a baseball bat.. It has no face so why rotate it. Just hold the damn thing and swing it.

  14. Great video Tom – intuitively I knew what you were saying is correct – I just didn't know how to put it together. Alll this handsy stuff that gets promulgated over the interwebs is BS – my hands are good for one thing and it's not getting the club face perpendicular to the target at strike – thanks for the straight talk
