In this video, I explain why you are slicing the ball and instead of just telling you how to fix a slice, I will try to explain why you are slicing the ball and hopefully, you can take this knowledge and apply it to your own golf swing so you don’t fix something that you don’t need to change.

today guys we’re going over the most
important Club in your
bag the driver we’re going to fix your
slice no matter how you slice it we’re
going to fix it today so there are two
main reasons you slice the golf ball the
first one is your Club face is open at
impact and the second one is your club
path so you put that together and it’s
an awful slice today I’m not going to
give you as many fixes and lessons and
drills to fix it but instead I’m going
to teach you guys why you’re slicing the
golf ball and you can use that in
information to find better tips and find
better things that can fix your golf
swing I will give you a few tips but
this is more going to be informational
about what you’re actually doing in your
golf swing to make it go slice slice
your driver and it looks something like
this on the ball
flight no no no comments no comments no
comments if you see something like that
that starts right and just keeps going
right it’s a mixture of two things so
the main thing you’re going to need to
fix to so it doesn’t start right is your
Club face at impact so a good way to
think of it
is the direction your ball
goes I didn’t click that the direction
your ball goes is based off of your face
impact so if your face is square at
impact it’s going to come out straight
if your face is closed at impact it’s
going to come out left and if it’s open
it’s going to come out right so if you
have that ball that comes out way right
and then Fades your face is open so if
you can get your face more closed and at
least start it on the line or left of
the line it’s going to help your swing
tremendously because when it’s open it
creates like a gear effect which I know
a lot of people like to talk about but
the gear effect is going to spin it more
to the right as well so it’s going to
start right and it’s going to spin right
which is dead you don’t want that that’s
the worst shot in golf that’s my
favorite shot to hit off the te it’s not
good so if your ball starts right and
goes farther right your face is open at
impact and vice versa if you start way
left that means your face is to close
the impact so that’s a great way to
think about it is where your ball first
takes off that’s only due to where your
face is at
impact and second is I’m sure everyone
already knows this if you get that ball
that
Hooks and just goes way right that’s
going to be your club path so if you put
it together with a club path that comes
out to in like this that makes when you
cut across it like this it spins the
ball to the right causing that right
Miss if you slice across it like this
with a closed face it’s going to start
left and slice back hopefully to the
middle if you’re playing it properly but
most time it’s going away right and the
second one is if you come over the top
and you lose leave the face open it’s
going to start right and go right which
is really no good I’d rather start left
so that’s the first thing you got to
work on if you have that right flight or
even the too far left flight you’re
going to want to make sure your Club
face at impact is
square I still struggle to do this all
the time I’m not very good at this this
is probably the weakest part of my game
is I fight this nasty slice all the time
but I leave my face open all the time so
one lesson I thought is when you come
through impact you want to feel like the
logo of your glove is pointing towards
the ground so you get up here and you
can kind of feel that point towards the
ground and it’s it’s going to close the
face for you a bit you get here and
point that toward try to point towards
the ground and it’s going to close the
face down if you’re
aiming well I guess there is always an
easier option you can just strengthen or
weaken your grip but I don’t really like
messing with grips too much because that
throws off the rest of your game as well
so one swing thought if you have an open
face so you come down you try to get
that grip pushing try to get this logo
to touch the ground right so you get
here and you feel that like close
there push it through or if you come
through and your face is already too
closed just do the opposite try to get
that logo to point up to the ceiling and
you can just see from this camera
probably see it see how wide open the
face is from trying to push it down how
closed the face is obviously I’m not
going to hit it like this I’m going to
use this hand to do this keep it
Square so that is what I would say if
you are struggling with a ball that
starts way left with your driver or a
ball that starts way right with your
driver is to try to fix your impact
position and your playing
angle sorry your face angle then the
second one this is the most classic move
in all of golf the over-the-top slice
so you guys have watched a million
videos on this but in this video I’m
just trying to really let you guys know
what you’re doing wrong so we can go fix
it so you have that slice you probably
know you’re coming outside to
in it’s good to know where your ball
starts with that face angle as I was
telling before so we can really work on
it because if your ball’s just kind of
going straight right like this one right
here goes pretty straight
right that’s mostly just face
it’s not really due to my swing path
even though my swing path is out to in
but most of that right is just because
the face is open if I had the face
closed there it would probably just be a
10 15 yard fade how we’re going to fix
your SW your swing path I know you guys
have watched a million videos on this
I’m probably not going to be the one to
fix it but guess what we’re going to try
right
here so one thing I like to do if I was
out of range and I had capabilities to
put stuff in theou ground you’d want to
put an alignment
stick obviously this isn’t in the right
spot but you’re want to put an alignment
stick kind of more like right
here you’re put like right here so when
you swing and you do come over the top
and this alignment sticks right here
come top you’re going to hit
it instant feedback try not to break
your driver take some easy swings at it
but it’s going to put it there but also
having this here is going to scare a lot
of you to try to keep it under and you
see the difference between this
swing and this
swing this one starts like this this one
starts like this right so you want to
get it down
there I mean the simplest way I’ve ever
heard it said someone on the internet I
I’m sure someone someone knows who said
it first but you come down the elevator
and then out you you never want to just
jump out of the elevator that that’s no
good yeah so we’re gonna go down the
elevator and then out instead of out the
elevator because that leads to slices
let me see if I can hit one straight I
probably can I suck at golf but let me
see we’re going up here we’re going down
the elevator and I leave my face open so
I’m gonna try to put my grip to the
ground down the elevator grip to the
ground
right down the elevator grip to the
ground let’s see what
happens I’m not swinging very hard
because I’m scared inside BL BL blah
make the excuse I only hit it 200 yards
anyways doesn’t really matter um that
one it went left so my path was good
because it went straight but it went
left so as you guys know stay with me
the face is closed thanks guys
so I hope that helped teach you guys a
little bit about your own golf swing
it’s so hard to teach when you can’t see
the golf swing because you don’t know
exactly what’s happening but this is a
good way for you to diagnose it yourself
and find out what’s going on why is this
doing what it’s doing and hopefully you
can fix your golf swing or at least your
driver swing with that if you guys are
looking for the cheapest lessons on the
internet you can join this YouTube as a
member I give lessons to all my members
we can figure it all out figure out what
what’s going wrong with your swing we
can fix it dial it in golf season’s
right around the corner no better time
to and yeah hope you guys enjoy the
video hope some of this help whoa hope
you enjoy the video hope this helped
someone and we’ll see you in the next
one peace
