My buddy and I did this last year just to have fun instead of losing balls constantly. Just him and I playing never competitive with anyone else. It oddly took away my slice after I stopped using it. I don’t know if it was just a confidence thing or what but I lost the slice and gained a snap hook!
I don't know about this trick but I watched a video by Rick Shields once that did truly help me straighten up my drive tremendously although I was slicing it and not hooking it. If you're the kind to slice, what he recommended was instead of pulling in tight which will cause you to hit off the toe of the driver, try to take swings in which you are diagonally pushing away from your body, literally within the first swing I started hitting straight. My father was slicing as well and I made him watch the video and he had fixed his swing rather quickly although he is super stubborn and finds himself falling into old habits later in rounds 😂 that's all good for me a win is a win haha

Such bull crap. Practice makes the ball go straiter
A little sun screen works but need to keep the normal swing.
Can anyone confirm this is legit?
It is illegal, in tournaments but for hacks who cares.
It does help, it reduces friction, which greatly reduces spin, the enemy of distance and when hit poorly, accuracy.
I am 100% going to do this Friday against my friend who Ibplayb2x a week and we are always 2-4 strokes away from each other.
And this is how people get DQd and kicked from private clubs
Johnny Miller was doing that At the US Open he won.
Great science experiment when you can't hit a consistent direction in the slightest. Jesus how are you trying to be a golf influence
So cute that you think 3 hits are enough for a study lol
You should definitely play a ball with low spin.
It would help if your swing was consistent.
“The second three”
Playing Army golf…
This just in: all weekend warriors keep chap stick in the bag.
I mean your clearly hitting it wrong in the first place that’s why it goes left
Maybe try this with someone who can hit their driver?
Dude says “should I even try to hit with the center of the club face.”
Yes, and from the first three balls you don’t know how.
He’s got a Ventus velacore shaft and he hits it like that lmao dude should just use stock shaft he’s not worthy to use expensive equipment 🤡
You definitely hit the first three not as good as the second three 😂
Got a comp tomorrow using it
Considering more spin stabilizes the ball flight and makes it more difficult to fade or draw the ball, it should not!
Its a very known thing that this works, no need to try it buddy
just don't cheat
I’m going to have to try this cheat code next time I play for money!!!
🧢 all 🧢
Chapstick or Vaseline works bc you get less spin on the ball reducing hooks/slicing

What if you were purposely hitting it left and right?!
Military golf…left, right, left, right
Try the same swing with all 6 balls. Nice try.
Great way to see if you are actually making solid contact
Vaseline is awesome it really works
I did this at the range and it actually works so well
