Stop Slicing Your Driver – (Video) Lesson by PGA Pros Pete Styles and Matt Fryer

In this video tip PGA golf professionals Pete Styles and Matt Fryer will explain to you the fundamentals of how you can reduce the slicing of your golf driver. Initially, we will talk about how the path of the golf swing and how it should be to the right of the intended target. This could be described as having a flatter down swing into the golf ball. Secondly, we will start to look at the rotation of the club face, initially golf shots may be blocked to the right of the intended target. During this stage of your practice it is important to not panic and bear with the process. The second half of this tip will explain how the rotation of the club face should start to bring the golf ball back to the intended target line, and should in turn create the desirable drawing golf shot. Banishing the destructive slicing shots once and for all.

Right Pete one of the most common shots we see with this one and probably through out the rest of the bag has got to be the slice shot of generallycalling lets say 80 percent of my lessons or can you fix my slice paying money. So today we're going to look at it he going to give us some points of how we're going to do that hopefully the aim really of this life here is to try and break it down into 2 component parts and therefore 2 different corrections. OK because often the 1st correction that we make for someone that slices the driver actually makes them worse yes now if at that point they panic they might not necessarily stick with us but yes to the important bit no 2 parts to this drill go and practice them but bear in mind that when you do Part one you will get worse before you get better in terms of where the resulting ballet life goes 1st we need to understand what a flight needs of all its life these are the right handed golfer us setting off strike a left of target curving on the right hand side of target generally caused by a past fault Yeah and a face fault but that's all that's correct while No that's correct the other 1st that's correct pass OK. So you say in the slice of the most common thing you've probably heard this so over the top there is a couple of approach over the soft if we have the plane line in there and you are now entering the golf ball from outside and working back in the side in your swing.

so what do we want to do what we want to fix at where we going to have the center path of the club is this way out. So in the stands to reason we want that to be straighter or to exaggerate actually making that pass in the past yeah I'm going to suggest the golfer that rather than worrying about target we actually focus on something down the right hand side of the intended target and sometimes quite a long way right you know in the big block down the right hand side of the range so we save a nice a position you know aimed right here and now have your veins Square that's a very good point thanks for me on that I'm aiming straight so I'm not a knee down the right market I'm aiming straight my swing path is up down more of a shallow at the club. I know me I'm now trying to swing that out to the right this still gets a bit technical if I just ask you to hasty to the right chances are you'll get the feeling of turning this white to hate more blacks down that line so it's just a little tough for whites to block you down that right on the side that all of life to the right and my path line was more shallow and when I found it you know I definitely started a good sociologist right to the strikes target laughs and at times when golfers do that's that's the bit where they feel like they've got worse because previously loadable life viciously at least ended up the way here to target so we might see some push like to say now wait just stop right and goes a little bit further right because we're not gonna see him with the face yes exactly so we only corrected won't we only correct the past half now goes right for go white on the right hand side how do we think get the ball to look better how do we get it back to the intended target is to change the 2nd element which is to change the face OK for the past usually go to the last of the phase usually point to the right was swapping those around you know the path now to go to more of the right the space now needs to a much more to the leftt.

Ok So now we're going to go about that then? Well that's generally controlled by the hands next will know without making a big fundamental change to your grip presuming your grip is half decent anyways. OK If you want to change where the clubface is you need to change the rotation of the timing of the rotation most golf with the rotate that just rotate after the history much more like it did and then turn a face we're advocating getting the club into a good position and then letting that face square up so I say square of the should be largely square when you hit the ball but let's try and get it less Let's try and get that close played left of the target with the swing to the right to the target and see what happens the ball won't slice. It might draw it might even Hawk definitely want to fly so we're going to be swinging right and we're letting the fates turn over now when the right which is the 1st correction to the flaw Yeah let the house swing right left the house just a gentle swing the thing for power yes. And that's a nice drawl I worked rough start out right of target and we're back on to target that would have been lovely with one of those shot trace a line on the T.V. wouldn't it have been gone just the middle of it down the right draw but here it was the the blocky pushy swing with her hand action now is a golf club look at that I'd give my client a huge round of applause and say you are a long way on now to correcting your slice and yeah it needs a bit of balancing it needs a bit of fine shooting used to feel natural but if you can understand half right face left of the path you're a long way to stopping your life by coming over the top come back definitely like you said it is those 2 parts so don't panic on stage long you like said you might get a little bit worse but as soon as you get the 2nd stage out a day and we're going to see a lot more consistent shots and some fantastic shots like that. So number one let's work on that path going the opposite was it would be for for the right handed golfer we're going to feel it coming from in to out. Now once we've got that we're going to work on stage 2 getting the face rotating the releasing blend those 2 together and you should see that you stop slicing your golf ball and hopefully start to hit some nice little draws.
