Thnx for responding, COGG. Much appreciated. Another quick question, if I may: When you are driving off, COGG, do you yourself lean back slightly to the right, so your back is at approximately 70 degrees?

@theholme7 That position you're talking about id the reverse "K" position. When you use my set-up you do not have to do this, simply get into a comfortable position and make a swing the same way you would with a 7 iron. If your COG dosen't pass the decoy, you will hit a good drive...enjoy! check out the site for more at cogolf.ca

@theholme7 The reason for the reverse "K" position is to place your COG in the proper place approx 4" behind the ball...if you set up with the COG method AND do the reverse "K" your COG will be too far from the ball and you will have to slide in to the proper striking position. The reverse "K" is difficult to get into and hold during the swing, I think you must do one or the other not both...BTW..are you sure your spine angle is 70 degrees...tough to measure, with my set-up...no worries!

Ive just recently started playing golf again . . . not to sound stupid or anything, but I have a couple of questions regarding this clip: a.)Is this clip/advice in relation to the lowest driver (ie, a 1 wood)? b.)The guy in the clip said the decoy is approx 4 inches behind the ball, so, when about to drive off, should I keep my eyes fixed on the decoy or the ball? Your input is greatly appreciated. Thx.

@theholmez75 Hey, thanks for the note, see the above answer, always keep your eyes on the decoy, it will hold our center in the right place.

Brilliant tip. I have been struggling with a slice for years. Have had numerous lessons to fix it but it never carry's from the range to the course .Tried this on the course last weekend and my slice is gone. COMPLETELY gone. Thank you so much. Had my father try it as well because as hes getting older he has lost tons of distance. Instantly was hitting the ball 25 - 30 yards further then normal. This is the real deal.

I decided to try this out as I'm a new golfer and haven't had the confidence to hit my driver during a round as I slice so much at the range. I hit 50 balls at the range and sliced ONE. A few got hooked but most were lovely and straight. I decided to try it when I played and hit a couple nicely but stuck with it. I played again today and out of the 7 or 8 drives I hit I only sliced 1 due to being off balance. The rest were arrow straight and approx 230y. One really sweet shot went 270y.

this shit is legit thanks so much making golf much more fun again!

@uteboy08 Sorry I missed this comment and took so long to reply...your tee height totally depends on the width of your stance....the wider you stand, the farther away from the ball your COG is and the higher the tee must be. My suggestion...take your normal stance and see where the bottom of your swing is. Move the club up to the tee'd ball and be sure it makes contact on or above the club's center line. Once you standardise your stance width, your tee height will be standard too...

This a the tip of the year. It works, nice tight draw now and solid contact!

[coops1964golf]

the only tip i`ve ever used that actually works,just had a round with no slices at all,my playing partner couldn`t believe it!!!!

[scottmcg666]

This is the best golf tip on Youtube. Thanks again, this cured my driver slice.

[camerond47]

This worked the first time I tried it. I was able to hit the ball cleanly and without making a divot. Yes. I use to make divots with my driver.
