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.
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.
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
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?!)?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
99% of the people who slice hold the club with a weak grip. tee the ball up just inside of your leading foot and use a neutral to strong grip to cure your slice. everybody thinks it's so hard to hit a driver straight when it's actually so easy. you can still hit the ball straight even if your swing sucks.
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!
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
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%
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).
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!!
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
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.
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
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Great lesson....this helped me a great deal to get the proper release. Awesome video!!!

petescott30 1 year ago
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

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.

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