  • Great lesson....this helped me a great deal to get the proper release. Awesome video!!!

  • Golf Swing Guru

    This is the Only Golf Site You’ll Ever Need to Visit to Eliminate Your Handicap in Less Than 24 Hours

  • THANK YOU, THAT REALLY DID HELP!!!

  • This messed up my swing i started to hook after this.

  • sliced the piss outta my drives and long irons today, thats what brought me here

    Trying this tomorrow at the range.

    Golf's a hell of a drug!

  • can i masturbate using this same drill?

  • It took me about five years to fix my slice. I didn't use this drill but i fixed it using the same concept. I finally figured out after lots and lots of trial and error that I wasn't turning my hands over at impact. So I started making myself over-do-it and hitting hooks out on the range and worked my way back to find a happy medium. After a while I started hitting them straight with a little draw even! I wish I saw this video a long time ago and it would've taken 5 minutes instead of five years

  • im like a midhandicap and i dont slice like every hit and they dont slice completly just they dont go straight they start off straight then they start going to the right i dont know how to fix this.

  • this guy's got no clue at all. i hope he's no longer teaching that mess.

  • @coldasice

    just gave you the best advice of anybody. Dont swing so hard. I slowed down and my slice disappeared plus it goes straighter and almost the same distance.

  • i hope it helps, i can hit sw-7i but any lower and a wicked slice kicks in it's mind boggling

  • Use this drill until you have eliminated your slice then go back to your regular grip.. This drill has helped thousands of slicers over the years.. Good luck

  • SO YOU ARE SAYING TO USE THIS GRIP ALL THE TIME ? OR JUST UNTIL YOU CURE YOUR SLICE ? caps off

  • this helped me out alot because I was slicing it for the first time today.

  • I have been trying to use the two palm grip with varied success, still hooking but thats due to inconsistency on my part I think! Is it true that you should have a very loose grip in the right hand (if right hand gripped that is?!)?

  • tip for release: relax the right hand and use the left

    right hand=30% power

    left hand=70%power

    choking the club with your right hand will either be an over the top, or a BIG slice

  • I've Tried this now and WOW was i impressed i went the whole day and i think i sliced it like twice which is a lot less than before ... Ill tell ya wut golf is way more fun when ur not chasing the ball around in the rough all day! .. GREAT ADVICE!

  • plz can any1 help,,,,,,, i rarely slice wen usin irons but when i come to use the driver i seem to slice the ball so much it nearly boomerangs on me

  • yh try to not open the iron(driver) keep it forward do the other stuff if u want to slice ... and if it was windy and you shooted up into the wind then it slices or hookes

  • hey. I used to do the same thing with the driver. A common cause of the slice is attacking the out side of the ball (this means that if your a righty, your club face comes from the right side of the ball, which makes you pull the club toward you). This puts left to right spin on the ball, causing a slice. Try attacking from the inside of the ball. Also, try to extend your follow through, rather than pulling the club up immediately after you make contact. This worked for me

  • @coldasicce

    I had the same problem (no slice w/irons, big slice with driver). I was swinging too hard when teeing off. When you swing too hard you PULL the driver down rather than let it swing down naturally, and you create an "Out-to-In" swing (meaning your arms come in toward your body on release). This prevents the club face from closing completely (square to ball). When I slowed my swing to 75% speed - NO SLICE!! With practice I was able to increased my swing speed back to 100%

  • @coldasicce

    More explanation on out-to-in swing...

    peakperformancegolfswing(dot)c­om/inside-out-golf-swing

  • And the 'slice tendency' he's talking about, is *easilly* removed with a proper grip or hand alignment (strong grip or bowed left wrist going trought the ball).

  • He said do that as a drill. He doesn't mean that's how you should be swinging when you actually play.

  • that would totally effect the distance u hit the ball though!!!

  • fail

  • Great! I really need to try this tomorrow!

  • Just been on the range to try this and its brill!! Distance is effected but straight down the middle every time, much rather direction to distance!! Thanks for the help!!

  • wow, i couldn't figure out why i slice.

    i believe this is exactly why, thanks for pointing this out.

  • Gonna try this !

  • han on dont this cure the push and slice not just a slice ?

  • the hips rotating should square the clubface, not the rotation of your hands...

  • no, not exactly.

  • this is great if you are an experienced golfer but if you want to cure a slice fast swing a baseball bat a few time and it will make your hands release like this

  • not true.. im an avid baseball player .. and i tend to belive that by swinging the bat the problem then becomes a matter of topping the ball because you tend to do a more level swing rather than dipping down to scoop the ball

  • exactly the same with me. i have so much trouble with the slice because now swinging a bat is just a god given natural instinct for me

  • Great!!! Thank you!

  • help!!!!!!!!!!

    i have been playin for 1 year and i just can't seem to cure my slice.

    Any pointers and any other good videos

  • This is one of the best. Explains the FIX where others would take you though hours of long winded lessons and cost you a bundle.

  • Follow this video, what he is saying is true, some people does not square the club face, so try to release it faster.

    Even though you have been playing for 1 year, you cannot fix it that fast, I have been playing for over 8 years and I still have a slight fade (small version of a slice) I am still working on this.

  • thanks im 14 and just started and this sounds like it should work thank u best advice ive ever had :)

  • i am a 11 hadicap but if you realise the club which is good for the long irons but when i am close and want to hold the green relise would make the ball roll and then you would not hold the green. this is my qwestion

  • this tip got rid of my slice right away. thank u so much.

  • Ha im on the golf team and im a freshman. I have no chance to even play in a match but with this my score cards come down from mid to high 40s to low 40a im not gunna play this year but this is the best tip i have ever herd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I have been working on a stronger grip to fix my slice with some success but this tip really push it into high gear. I drove father and straighter with 90% consistancy today at the range. I'm gonna use this little nugget of advice alot!

  • I was just at the range today, and I'm a young golfer (13, almost 14) and i was drilling the ball 200 yards (which is a good shot for me) but it would end up literally 30 yards to the right of my target, My dad was there and he kept telling me to roll my hands roll my hands roll my hands, and finally I listened to him and I drilled one about 230 yards right at my target. Ofcourse I still hit a few slices, all I concentrate now is my weight shifting, turning, and rolling my hands. Good video!

  • I have tenancy to strike the ball from the inside/out. (As do most golfers who tend to slice) While doing this excercise with my 6 iron i hit the ball straight and to the left 20 yards. After some thought, i realized i was setting my body up to compensate for my slice. With this said, its amazing what your body does subconsciously.

    PS. I'm tempted to play a round with this grip alone.

  • Glad it helps

    We use this drill tons with our golf academy.

    The strategy is to keep doing the drill until you hook everything, then gradually move your bottom hand up until you have your normal grip.

  • Just out of curiosity i also tried my driver. Straight as an arrow and consistent!

  • I seen this tip on a dvd last year by Butch Harmon himself!! I could never hit my driver as the slice was absolutely terrible, im using this tip since i seen it and it has realy improved my game. Im now hitting the driver very well with this technique and playing more golf than ever. Anyone with a realy bad slice should definitly try out this tip!!

  • I tried this today off the tee and it really helped me. I was able to hit straight 220 yards just about everytime.

  • wow. This really helped a lot. I am 50 yards farther and dead straight. Took a few shots to get used to it but I am going to use it all the time on my drives now.

  • yh can u report to me how it works on the driver plz

    thx

  • natural golf type of grip?

  • yup...

  • is there any reason why i shouldnt hit my driver with the "split hands" all of the time? i am making much better contact and i am hitting the ball dead straight.

  • It is a great drill for all clubs..

    You won't be able to get as much snap at the ball with your hands apart, but you will add big time power once you get the hang of it and can release it with your normal grip..

  • I find to focus on my follow through, (make sure my belt buckle is facing the target at finish) ensures i hit the ball straight. When I do slice and push the ball simulatnously it is because my body was facing in that direction at finish.

  • Good tip. I`ll give it a try tomorrow at the range.

  • Very Good Video, i'll go try this right away to cure that bad slice. Thanks

  • Gonna try this. thanks!

  • This is great. Does anyone know how to stay in your stance. I tend to stand up in my stance in my release and shank the ball....Any takers???

  • Shorter club = forces you to stay down instead of 'lifting up.' Try a 1/2" or 1" short shaft.

  • IT BETTER!!!!!!!!

  • LOL i hope so! We'll see in the Spring TY.

  • ty, hope it helps me
