For years I struggled with the slice. After a week of practicing the advice of Rick's videos I rarely hit a slice. Although I don't always draw the ball, I have been hitting shots straight or slightly to the right. Today I went to the range and hit a bucket of balls, I hit one ball that sliced. Thank you Rick, you have completely changed my swing!
OMG. Have sliced or faded for over 45 years. Tried this method. Could not believe it. Straight shots, draw shots low and high. Not only that added about 40 yards of distance. Best ever golf video made. Thank you Rick.
thanks Rick! i'm not nervous when i tee up my driver anymore. hitting them 250+ right down main street the last few weeks all because of these videos. thank you thank you thank you x1000
So I watched all 4 videos the other night. A buddy sent them to me that struggles with the slice just like me and he said it did a lot to help his swing. I watched them and visualized my swing with all the videos. The next day I went to the range and got my 7 iron out. After my warmups I started to incorporate these moves and I did something I’ve never done. I hit a draw! Then I hit another one and another one. I hit 10 draws in a row!!! I moved over to my driver and I did not hit a draw but I was not slicing either. Still a lot of work to do on my driver but after years of trying and many, many lessons. This 4 part video hit me hitting a draw with my irons!!! Thank you!!!
Pure Genius. Was driving myself potty trying to figure out why I had developed a nasty slice out of nowhere. Watched this and realised I had slowly developed a weak grip without realising. I jotted down some notes, took a trip up the range, firmed up my grip significantly and hit a bucket of balls. It took a few attempts to get used to new grip position, but then I found that not only had my slice disappeared but by removing spin I was naturally getting more distance. Rick Shiels, I thank you!
I came across this video last year.. Didn't pay much attention since I was following someone else on RUclips to fix my slice... :).. No Luck. Came back and tried this on the range. First 6 shots straight which is miracle for me.. Thank You Sir for this video. I am now not afraid to hit my driver. Hoping to break 90 this week.
Rick, you are amazing! I have been slicing driver shots forever. After applying these tips techniques, it has made amazing changes in my game. I hit straight every single time. Today I was 100% fairway hit with driver. I can’t thank you enough for these tips.
After adjusting my grip and face. This video was the key in helping me hit the best shots of my life. The 7o'clock move and lowering my right shoulder created the perfect correction
This cristal clear explanation of what causes a slice helped me correct my drive in one single day. I played 9 holes today and hit the fairway each time I used my driver. Before that I was lucky when my driver worked once in 18 holes. Thanks a lot!
Just got back from the range, trying to put all this info into practice. The first three drives I hit were three of the best I've ever hit with range balls! Altered grip slightly, tried to bow hand at top of backswing, but keeping right shoulder back seemed to be the real winner. Did go a bit pear shaped after a while, the whole crossing hands over going to take some work. But didn't slice more than two out of 50 so I'm taking the positives and running!😎
I never leave comments but, I can't Thank You enough for these videos! I've always sliced my drives until today! Your videos saved my game. I finally want to play golf again. Rick is the Best golf instruction online.. Period
I have watched these videos several times. It has really allowed me too absorb the info, applying it to my swing. Thanks a ton Rick Shiels for these educational videos; it has truly helped.
Finally!!! I Found the "What's next" for your recent Slice correcting videos! Took it to the driving range yesterday and hit a few actual draws. Something I've never actually done before. Now to hit several thousand balls and see if I can make it the norm. Thanks Rick!
Many thanks, I have been researching "putting yips" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my m8 got excellent success with it.
These videos are unbelievable. I fixed in 5 days a problem I’ve had for 20+ years. No more aiming in the trees to get it in the fairway! Thank you so much.
Man, this video series has been a game changer. I'm now hitting solid drives about 90% of the time. I think the grip was the biggest help. Thank you sir! You're amazing
Extremely grateful for this lesson. I’ve been plagued with a “fade” (I.e. an uncontrollable slice) for two years and within 15 minutes at the range testing the suggestions sequentially just hit the most beautiful draw 5 times in a row. Thank you!!!
Watching your videos has improved my game so much. For the first time ever , I have broke a 90. I’m very thankful for your help. Thanks and keep em coming
Being a slicer for the last 10 yrs, finally someone has been able to explain to me how too hit driver correctly. At last the ball is turning right to left 😎👍 Wish I could share image from simulator to prove... Thanks for great video.
So I basically tried all these at the range today. Stronger grip, especially holding the club with the fingers, and swinging more around my body instead of a follow through that has the club finishing high up in the air. What really worked was fixing my swing path. Key to that was squaring my feet to the target and closing my shoulders. I had never heard that before. Bingo! That one move really promotes an inside to out swing path and had me hitting great drives that were straight or slight draw. Wow! Very impressed. Can't wait for my next round.
Rick: These videos are hands down the best slice videos i have seen. Purely because throughout the way its explained doesn't get all overly 'golf-sciencey'. One bucket of balls following these videos has solved my slice, the issue i have now is doing this 'set up' more consistently. Nothing worse than having a slice on day and a hook the next!
I've been a slicer for years and finally watching someone teach you the right way! I closed that club face and angled my wrist and can literally hit it dead straight! Thanks a ton!
What a great series! Great tutorials! 6 weeks ago I just got back into the game after 33 years of never hitting a single ball, and a few weeks ago I managed to cancel the slice I was hitting and go left, then I started getting 7 out of 10 shots straight, but I would get a fade shape with the rest, then after joining a club and leaving the range behind, the slice slowly came back, then I messed with the loft and lie of my driver, which is a real learning curve - no pun intended! Now it's back to 8 out of 10 slices! 🤯🤬 This all makes so much sense with the extremely thorough visuals. I've been trying so hard to work out how to get that draw shape. You've clearly put a lot of work into making this series. I'm going to go to the range later and try all of this out. Thank you so much for making these videos! Liked and subed!
Hello, I am 68 and returning to golf after a 40 year gap. I have been hitting to the right ( not a slice ) and have happened on your videos which have really helped to get my swing back and hit much straighter. Regards Ivan from New Zealand
This was ridiculously helpful, especially with the visuals. I filmed my swing after this and realized I have a massive outside to inside swing in downswing that I didn’t know about. Thinking about coming at the ball at 7 o’clock helped that immediately. Great to be able to think about why the slice is happening rather than just saying you gotta grip the club differently.
Can't wait to start this series, after part 2 I am hitting everything straight left which is something I have never done. Looking to straighten up the swing plane now. Always been afraid to get my driver out the bag but not for much longer. Think I may need to invest in some private lessons from this man. Fantastic stuff. ⛳🏌
Just want to say thanks. This is the only lesson I have ever had. And I say lesson because this taught me some things that I took to the course and hit booommmmbs. I have always hit super long for people I play with. 250-275. But it was never consistent and straight. I got the SIM2 9.0 Driver and with this video today on the course I murdered the ball. So straight and long. I am carrying 300 with the prettiest draw. For me it was really the tilt, visualizing to hit the ball on the upswing, 7 o clock, and the shoulders back is what did it for me. My grip, line, and wrists were all doing the right thing. I know you'll probably never see this. But thank you for putting this info out in a digestible way. For real.
The original videos you done were great but these take it to the next level, so clear and easy to watch. I have no doubt this is going to help me even more with my golf swing prevent that dreaded slice shot. Cheers Rick keep up the good work🏌️♂️🏌️♂️👌👌
Now this is the real deal. An actual lesson. This effectively coaches you eliminate one side of the course. If you stand on the tee with the confidence to know you've eliminated one side of the course it makes the game so much easier. You also get to be able to manage your miss which will no longer be a wild slice but rather a hook. This is proper coaching for the slicer. Great video series.
Lefty here with a sudden case of slicing. Once again Rick breaks down issues to components and builds the answer step by step. Well done. I fixed my slice with step one, the grip. For me, 9 times out of 10 something about my grip has changed (cold snap correction in this case). Back to the net in the yard, praying for Spring!
Fantastic information as always Rick. Your production value is superb too! Thank you so much Rick. I hit them pretty straight, but these help me coach my son so so much.
Thank you sooooo much ! These 4 steps worked so well for me. I was slicing everytime far to the right and about 90 yards. Now im about 22500 but straight as a arrow . This really made it easy to change.
Tks Rick, my slice has been killing my game for a long time and costing me in golf balls (lol). After watching your series on Fix your slice and doing exactly what your lessons show and describe I put all that into practice and after a few minor adjustments to tee height and distance from the ball (I used the foot powder to check) I hit two buckets right down the middle with ideal trajectory and distance. finally have some consistency to the driver and couldn't be happier. Thanks again this series is a must see for slicers.......:)
It's almost ridiculous how all Ricks videos in such simple steps keep fixing my issues. Took it to the range yesterday and smashed straight 200m (hcp 26) drives over and over again, it's hard to believe that I just the other day hit random banana shots. Step two, the alignment of the club face (due to faulty twist of my wrists) did the trick and the added bonus of striking it from the inside made it either straight as an arrow or with a small draw. The draw made me feel professional...:D My hat off for you Rick...again
Thanks Rick! After TWO years of struggling with my slice, I finally hit a draw today - over and over again! The simple tips about closing my shoulders to the target and rotating my wrists make the difference. Much appreciated!
This is a great lesson Plan. I ma a 3 Handicap and had a slicing spell that I could not get rid of. I followed your plan exactly as you described and not only got rid of the slice but added 15 yards to my distance. Thank You Rick!!!
I was so frustrated until I discovered your videos. Intuitively what you instruct shouldn’t work but whoever said golf was intuitive. I am mostly hitting the ball straight and further. It feels wonderful. Thanks so much.
No bullshit this video just cut 10 strokes off my score. watched it, went straight to the range, then played 18. I'm not even used to the new grip and swing path yet and it turned my game around. Thank you Rick.
I watched the Overview, Part 2 & Part 3. Then I went to the range and hit a large bucket... nearly all a bit left and L-O-N-G! Re-watching Part 3 & Part 4... what great "swing thoughts"!
Rick; thank you so much. Everything I tried to do to counter my slice was making it worse and then I tried harder and it got worse still. Watched this series twice, went back to basics and just hit 50 balls at the range and almost all of them were dead straight. Still got some work to do on crossing my arms over (at the end of the swing) to try and induce a slight draw, but I feel so much happier. Looking forward to getting on the 1st tee later this week now!
Com g back to golf after 20 yr lay off... getting lessons but this slice video sessions is really helpful is making a real difference. Your production and simple analysis is the best I have seen on you tube. Will look you up when I’m in Manchester next.
Hitting em 275/285 consistently mostly straight regularly now with the occasional oops. Thanks so much for your videos. No more slice! Or VERY rarely now. Thank you very very much! Makes golf wayyyy more fun!
Rick. Your videos on this subject are the best I have seen (imo) and have helped me very much. The graphic showing the face of the clock is the single vision I return to as I tee and address the ball with the driver on the course. My driving has improved significantly since I watched your videos first time late 2018 and I return to these when I start slipping back into a fade. When I watch these back I pick up on the other techniques you suggest and it comes together again. It seems that unconsciously my swing will produce a fade / slice but I can and do overcome it when I go through all the techniques you suggest. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together and including the graphics which make it easy to picture what's required. Getting control (rid of) of the slice has made my golf far more enjoyable so thanks again.
Fixed my slice! Only been golfing for about 5 months so I had a horrible slice with my driver. The wrist bending is what did the trick. I’m a lefty but the tips worked perfectly for me as well!
fellows, it works. I've tried it all: spent hours watching youtube videos about the "secret" fix to your slice, I've dipped into my savings for private lessons, I've read the cover off that damn Ben Hogan book, and I'm here to tell you that this is the secret. I did everything in the first three videos he said. 5 trips to the range later and I'm pounding balls straight down the line with my 4 iron. Not sure if I need to see the fourth video but I'm doing it anyway. Thanks so much, Rick. You're a god
Slice solved! I'm a lefty and was hitting it dead straight but hard right (88%) after the clubface video. Now I'm hitting it straight down the fairway or with a tiny fade after correcting the path. I hit (88% fairways and only 12% slightly right). The graphic explanation and corrective instruction were outstanding.
Love Rick’s videos as they are pitched at the normal golfer, in simple terms with great graphics. So much easier to understand that most others. Getting some really promising results with this guide, so very excited to get out and play more. Thanks!
Thank you so much Rick Shields!! You literally just cured my slice off my driver, which I have had for years! I am now hitting the ball straighter and further by 20 yards. Such a well done video series.
Omg thank oh so much Rick! I never thought this slice was ever good no to be fixed. I knew that I needed to before highschool golf and I didn’t think it was possible I had thought I tried everything, to be honest I had little faith at the beginning of your guide, but I started to really understand what you were saying. I can’t thank you enough for these great pointers and advice for my golf game
After so much practice, I'm finally on the final step, trying to close my shoulders and swing differently. Its so hard to switch up the swing now after all this practice with an incorrect swing
Thank you so much for compiling all that knowledge in a comprehensive yet easy to understand series👍 I worked on everything you showed till part 3, but now I have q reference I can come back to whenever I need to. Will now watch strike location, probably my Graal...
Guess what the most difficult thing for a habitual slicer is when following these steps? After managing to close the clubface through impact and then managing to occasionally hit the ball from the inside (7 o’clock) - the biggest problem is to trust it - and that takes hundreds, if not thousands of reps. You are so used to doing everything to avoid the right side of the fw or rough so you tend to miss that 7 o’clock and come in to the ball straight or from the outside with much worse results than the slice ever was. You can’t quick-slice the ball but you can quick-hook it. The only consolation is that you now know how to close the clubface. The above said, this is an excellent tutorial that should benefit every golfer who is willing to do the work. Me, I would prefer to find my trusty 5 yard fade again. 25 years ago with the balata ball and much less forgiving drivers, I couldn’t miss a fairway even under gunpoint.
An absolutely brilliant series of tips. Completely got rid of my occasional destructive slice and regained draw and a better ball flight. Worth watching the entire sequence of videos in the correct order
I kid you not. I have been slicing the ball for 8 years. Watched this series last week. Went to the driving range just now, and within 3 swings was hitting a perfect draw. We will see if I can make it hold up and do it on the course, but I have never had any kind of golf tutorial work so perfectly as advertised
Have implemented your guidance and although not there yet i can see major improvements. Your series is excellent frankly and extremely helpful. Not too many pointers and the message is clear and concise. Thank you.
Just dropped by to say thank you Rick! This series has helped immensely! I really appreciate your videos! I hit a draw with ease PURPOSEFULLY YESTERDAY for the FIRST TIME EVER! I have hit a draw in the past not knowing how or why but found myself doing it CONSISTENTLY and on purpose yesterday! THANK YOU!
Wonderful educational, Rick. After watching this, I ran downstairs to my garage to take my old Callaway Warbird off its shelf. It was a driver I often sliced. Sure enough, the wear indicates most of my hits were in the bottom right quadrant of the face. I’m going to test it at the range tomorrow. I’ll tee it half an inch lower and adjust my stance to be an inch further away from the ball at address. I bet I’ll hit it well.
Oh my God, thank you so much Rick. I spent the weekend following your video, and just got back from playing 9 holes with friends. I have NEVER hit the ball as straight as I hit bit today, and I have been playing for years. Such an exciting feeling seeing the ball fly straight down the fairway. Can't wait to go out again.
@rickschieldsgolf just watched these and tried fixing the swing path thru 6 & 12, i didn't even realise i was coming in on the angle, still need practice to make this new habit but this was priceless information for a serial slicer!! cheers
Love love love this series of videos. Literally shaved 5 strokes off per 9 hole. Nine holes one week ago with a par 35 I shot a 42. The same nine holes after watching these videos I shot a +2 37 on the same nine
This was amazing!! I was slicing up and down even trying on the range and I first changed my face and hit it left then changed my swing and hit some of my first beautiful draws so gorgeous!!
I can not describe how bad I’ve wanted to get rid of my slice. It literally only took the first two lessons on this video to achieve this. Still have the slightest fade, maybe 2 or 3 yds, but literally 100% better and now playable shoots. Thank you Rick. 🙇
Never had this described and broken down so well! Just spent two weeks digesting and practicing this and gone from someone who aimed left to account for a 50-75 yd slice to now over drawing and having to dial it back. Still getting to grips with putting it all together but it’s becoming way more consistent and when I do it’s a proper send down the middle, easily 275 yds away!
OMG. Light bulb. I always lined my ball straight to my target.. always power slice lol… I can’t wait for my range session before my 8am tee time tomorrow to try the the aim to swing path instead of target.. makes so much sense. Love the illustration of the clock with the ball lined up for swing path. Thank you Rick !

Putting!

bunker play, particularly how to pop it up and put spin on it
Got to agree with putting! Especially tips on green reading. Everyone will be hitting over 30 putts a round compared with just one or two bunkers.

For years I struggled with the slice. After a week of practicing the advice of Rick's videos I rarely hit a slice. Although I don't always draw the ball, I have been hitting shots straight or slightly to the right. Today I went to the range and hit a bucket of balls, I hit one ball that sliced. Thank you Rick, you have completely changed my swing!
are u serious
The graphics to explain is really great!
If you have a slice. This series of videos is a MUST.
another Gem from Rick.
I need more help, still can’t hit to the left.
totally. stick to these principles. works often. not all the time what shot does but this is excellent
Two tips from this series that helped me the most: Bowing my wrist on the backswing, and starting off with the right shoulder back.
"Fix your face first" *looks in mirror* ... still has a slice
OMG. Have sliced or faded for over 45 years. Tried this method. Could not believe it. Straight shots, draw shots low and high. Not only that added about 40 yards of distance. Best ever golf video made. Thank you Rick.

This 4 part video hit me hitting a draw with my irons!!!
Thank you!!!
The grip 90% cured it for me. Thank you!
Right. Just holding the club correctly fixes most of your issues. Same with me. I used to hold the driver more in palm vs finger tips.
Exactly

Hello, I am 68 and returning to golf after a 40 year gap. I have been hitting to the right ( not a slice ) and have happened on your videos which have really helped to get my swing back and hit much straighter. Regards Ivan from New Zealand
Hey Ivan! I'm 64 years old and returning after only a 20 year gap. It's not easy, is it?
Cheers from NY State.
Rick you have smashed this video out of the park mate, best explanation I have ever seen. Thank you.
Thanks so much John!

After watching your series on Fix your slice and doing exactly what your lessons show and describe I put all that into practice and after a few minor adjustments to tee height and distance from the ball (I used the foot powder to check) I hit two buckets right down the middle with ideal trajectory and distance. finally have some consistency to the driver and couldn't be happier. Thanks again this series is a must see for slicers.......:)
It's almost ridiculous how all Ricks videos in such simple steps keep fixing my issues.
Took it to the range yesterday and smashed straight 200m (hcp 26) drives over and over again, it's hard to believe that I just the other day hit random banana shots.
Step two, the alignment of the club face (due to faulty twist of my wrists) did the trick and the added bonus of striking it from the inside made it either straight as an arrow or with a small draw.
The draw made me feel professional...:D
My hat off for you Rick...again
This is THE BEST piece of golf instruction I've ever seen for fixing a slice... 3 fundamentals that have to work! Thanks Rick, great video!
Thanks Rick! After TWO years of struggling with my slice, I finally hit a draw today - over and over again! The simple tips about closing my shoulders to the target and rotating my wrists make the difference. Much appreciated!
This is a great lesson Plan. I ma a 3 Handicap and had a slicing spell that I could not get rid of. I followed your plan exactly as you described and not only got rid of the slice but added 15 yards to my distance. Thank You Rick!!!
I was so frustrated until I discovered your videos. Intuitively what you instruct shouldn’t work but whoever said golf was intuitive. I am mostly hitting the ball straight and further. It feels wonderful. Thanks so much.
No bullshit this video just cut 10 strokes off my score. watched it, went straight to the range, then played 18. I'm not even used to the new grip and swing path yet and it turned my game around. Thank you Rick.
I watched the Overview, Part 2 & Part 3. Then I went to the range and hit a large bucket... nearly all a bit left and L-O-N-G! Re-watching Part 3 & Part 4... what great "swing thoughts"!
Rick; thank you so much. Everything I tried to do to counter my slice was making it worse and then I tried harder and it got worse still. Watched this series twice, went back to basics and just hit 50 balls at the range and almost all of them were dead straight. Still got some work to do on crossing my arms over (at the end of the swing) to try and induce a slight draw, but I feel so much happier. Looking forward to getting on the 1st tee later this week now!
Com g back to golf after 20 yr lay off... getting lessons but this slice video sessions is really helpful is making a real difference. Your production and simple analysis is the best I have seen on you tube. Will look you up when I’m in Manchester next.
Hitting em 275/285 consistently mostly straight regularly now with the occasional oops. Thanks so much for your videos. No more slice! Or VERY rarely now. Thank you very very much! Makes golf wayyyy more fun!
Rick. Your videos on this subject are the best I have seen (imo) and have helped me very much. The graphic showing the face of the clock is the single vision I return to as I tee and address the ball with the driver on the course. My driving has improved significantly since I watched your videos first time late 2018 and I return to these when I start slipping back into a fade. When I watch these back I pick up on the other techniques you suggest and it comes together again. It seems that unconsciously my swing will produce a fade / slice but I can and do overcome it when I go through all the techniques you suggest. Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together and including the graphics which make it easy to picture what's required. Getting control (rid of) of the slice has made my golf far more enjoyable so thanks again.
Fixed my slice! Only been golfing for about 5 months so I had a horrible slice with my driver. The wrist bending is what did the trick. I’m a lefty but the tips worked perfectly for me as well!
fellows, it works. I've tried it all: spent hours watching youtube videos about the "secret" fix to your slice, I've dipped into my savings for private lessons, I've read the cover off that damn Ben Hogan book, and I'm here to tell you that this is the secret. I did everything in the first three videos he said. 5 trips to the range later and I'm pounding balls straight down the line with my 4 iron. Not sure if I need to see the fourth video but I'm doing it anyway. Thanks so much, Rick. You're a god
After 4 weeks of lockdown, I was slicing every drive in my warm up. This video cured it in 15 minutes before my first round. Great lesson.
Rick you are such a great guy. Since I started watching your videos, i have learnt so much more than I have known in me 3 years of playing golf....
Slice solved! I'm a lefty and was hitting it dead straight but hard right (88%) after the clubface video. Now I'm hitting it straight down the fairway or with a tiny fade after correcting the path. I hit (88% fairways and only 12% slightly right). The graphic explanation and corrective instruction were outstanding.
Love Rick’s videos as they are pitched at the normal golfer, in simple terms with great graphics. So much easier to understand that most others. Getting some really promising results with this guide, so very excited to get out and play more. Thanks!
Thank you so much Rick Shields!! You literally just cured my slice off my driver, which I have had for years! I am now hitting the ball straighter and further by 20 yards. Such a well done video series.
Omg thank oh so much Rick! I never thought this slice was ever good no to be fixed. I knew that I needed to before highschool golf and I didn’t think it was possible I had thought I tried everything, to be honest I had little faith at the beginning of your guide, but I started to really understand what you were saying. I can’t thank you enough for these great pointers and advice for my golf game
Litterally can’t believe how fast this works. Great video and hats off to you for producing this gem. Could you do another video like this for Irons?
After so much practice, I'm finally on the final step, trying to close my shoulders and swing differently. Its so hard to switch up the swing now after all this practice with an incorrect swing
This is brilliant. I have been bending my left wrist the wrong way all my years golfing and no pro has ever spotted it. Striking a lovely fade now 👍
Thank you so much for compiling all that knowledge in a comprehensive yet easy to understand series👍 I worked on everything you showed till part 3, but now I have q reference I can come back to whenever I need to. Will now watch strike location, probably my Graal...
You are the man. Finally someone explains it well. Can't wait to take this to the driving range.
I tried this series an the range and had immediate results. Can’t wait to get on the course.
Ive been struggling with slices for quite some time, till I watched these video series. These tips are SPOT ON for me
Guess what the most difficult thing for a habitual slicer is when following these steps?
After managing to close the clubface through impact and then managing to occasionally hit the ball from the inside (7 o’clock) - the biggest problem is to trust it - and that takes hundreds, if not thousands of reps. You are so used to doing everything to avoid the right side of the fw or rough so you tend to miss that 7 o’clock and come in to the ball straight or from the outside with much worse results than the slice ever was. You can’t quick-slice the ball but you can quick-hook it. The only consolation is that you now know how to close the clubface.
The above said, this is an excellent tutorial that should benefit every golfer who is willing to do the work. Me, I would prefer to find my trusty 5 yard fade again. 25 years ago with the balata ball and much less forgiving drivers, I couldn’t miss a fairway even under gunpoint.
This series might be the best on RUclips!
Thank you Rick!! You are the BEST teacher I ever had! Took me a while but works perfect.. my drive is straight 👌🏻
An absolutely brilliant series of tips. Completely got rid of my occasional destructive slice and regained draw and a better ball flight. Worth watching the entire sequence of videos in the correct order
I hit the ball perfectly straight the first time today at the range, and then did it many more times! Thanks Rick! Fixed my swing!
Watching this as a lefty makes my brain hurt
I feel this lmao, tryna watch these before me and the buds go golfing today
Totally agree, as a fellow lefty. Good material, but think I need to watch it and then pause and try it out.
@@nigelwood5705 how’d it go? It’s making my head hurt and I’m a right 😂
Same. Although fixed it for me in the grip video alone. Hit 287 last week straight as an arrow
Same here
I kid you not. I have been slicing the ball for 8 years. Watched this series last week. Went to the driving range just now, and within 3 swings was hitting a perfect draw. We will see if I can make it hold up and do it on the course, but I have never had any kind of golf tutorial work so perfectly as advertised
Thank you so much Rick!! Tremendous results after watching your videos! Awesome work, thank you so much!
Have implemented your guidance and although not there yet i can see major improvements. Your series is excellent frankly and extremely helpful. Not too many pointers and the message is clear and concise. Thank you.
Just dropped by to say thank you Rick! This series has helped immensely! I really appreciate your videos! I hit a draw with ease PURPOSEFULLY YESTERDAY for the FIRST TIME EVER! I have hit a draw in the past not knowing how or why but found myself doing it CONSISTENTLY and on purpose yesterday! THANK YOU!
Wonderful educational, Rick. After watching this, I ran downstairs to my garage to take my old Callaway Warbird off its shelf. It was a driver I often sliced. Sure enough, the wear indicates most of my hits were in the bottom right quadrant of the face. I’m going to test it at the range tomorrow. I’ll tee it half an inch lower and adjust my stance to be an inch further away from the ball at address. I bet I’ll hit it well.
You have a talent to communicate Rick, thanks for the valuable lessons
Oh my God, thank you so much Rick. I spent the weekend following your video, and just got back from playing 9 holes with friends. I have NEVER hit the ball as straight as I hit bit today, and I have been playing for years. Such an exciting feeling seeing the ball fly straight down the fairway. Can't wait to go out again.
How is your ball striking now? Are you still hitting it straight?
Thanks for the video - very helpful. The club face was a big part, but the placement of the golfball in the second video was a great visual cue!
@rickschieldsgolf just watched these and tried fixing the swing path thru 6 & 12, i didn't even realise i was coming in on the angle, still need practice to make this new habit but this was priceless information for a serial slicer!! cheers
Take a bow, this was so succinct and so informative it's better than the 90 mins of lessons I paid to help straiten my drive. Thank you.
Love love love this series of videos. Literally shaved 5 strokes off per 9 hole. Nine holes one week ago with a par 35 I shot a 42. The same nine holes after watching these videos I shot a +2 37 on the same nine
This was amazing!! I was slicing up and down even trying on the range and I first changed my face and hit it left then changed my swing and hit some of my first beautiful draws so gorgeous!!
I can not describe how bad I’ve wanted to get rid of my slice. It literally only took the first two lessons on this video to achieve this. Still have the slightest fade, maybe 2 or 3 yds, but literally 100% better and now playable shoots. Thank you Rick. 🙇
best slice fix advice after seeing a dozen of them. the ball went far and straight on 1st try 👍👍👍
Applied your 4 part "Fix Your Slice" techniques and Hit 100 Balls with driver, sliced may be 15.. Before it would have been 85 slices.. Thank You Sir.
Excellent video series! I used this info at the range today, and started hitting my drives straight. Thanks, Rick!!
Followed these steps and immediately started stripping it. 1st ball to the last. Thank Rick.
Never had this described and broken down so well! Just spent two weeks digesting and practicing this and gone from someone who aimed left to account for a 50-75 yd slice to now over drawing and having to dial it back. Still getting to grips with putting it all together but it’s becoming way more consistent and when I do it’s a proper send down the middle, easily 275 yds away!
These slice fix videos are tremendous, been using this advice and it is helping massively.
Tried it yesterday on the range. It really works. Period...👍👍👍
by far one of the best drill serie i've seen Great work Rick !
OMG. Light bulb. I always lined my ball straight to my target.. always power slice lol… I can’t wait for my range session before my 8am tee time tomorrow to try the the aim to swing path instead of target.. makes so much sense. Love the illustration of the clock with the ball lined up for swing path. Thank you Rick !
Holy cow, closing the shoulders stopped my slice. Nice little push draws and push fades and took 10 strokes off my score. Legend rick!
