Spent 4 hours on the range yesterday implementing Grant's tips and it is insane to see my swing completely change for the better. This channel is exactly what beginner and intermediate golfers who want to improve their golf game need. All thanks to you, Grant!
Grant is one of the better RUclips instructors I've ever watched. I think the huge difference comes from watching him implement all the tips and instruction from these videos into his personal game on the main channel. I always root for Grant on the challenges, he knows his stuff!
Check your shoulder alignment with driver. If your ball position is correct (off left instep for right hand player) make sure you're not turning your shoulders to the ball as this can exaggerate a slice. I had this issue for many years myself. It feels super weird at first and you'll feel like you're aiming way far right. The best way to check this is set up to the ball with driver and then lay the driver shaft across your shoulders and have someone look down it. Your shoulders should be parallel to your feet. I started lessons this summer and in my opinion it's more than worth the money, much more than any equipment I've ever bought! Hope this helps!
So I'm brand new at golf, and 2 days ago I shot a 132. So frustrating because almost every shot was a slice. Came home, watched this video, and went out yesterday to shoot 100 even. Felt so much better. For some reason this video just clicked with me. Thanks a lot man.
I know you probably won’t see this but I am so mad that it took me this long to find this video. But I’ve taken numerous lessons and tried too many different drivers to fix my slice. This video literally fixed it. I’m still slicing it but instead of almost every hole it’s only 2-3 times through 18. I appreciate this so much ❤
I’ve watched hours of “how to’s” to fix your slice and none have ever worked for me, until I watched one video and it clicked… I’ll get to that in a second. Coming from playing baseball when I was younger your taught all your power comes from your hips to start your swing, that explosive burst of twisting hips and then you “pull” the bat through. In my golf swing I found the harder I tried to rotate my hips the more exaggerated my get my slice would get, because it would end up opening the face of my club (driver) and when I would pull through it would bring my hands forward and rotating them in a clock wise fashion on my down swing. For you baseball players it basically felt like trying to swing at a ball just below knee height over the plate. Here is what clicked for me in the video I watched. I found out it wasn’t my stance, wasn’t my grip, wasn’t I didn’t tuck my elbow. It was bringing a different sport I never played into the equation. It was actually making my swing replicate that of a Hockey player. Where your lower body stays square, but on your backswing your arms stay straight, but your shoulders turn. Just imagine holding your club normally but slide your bottom hand down the shaft till your elbow locks out and then bring it back just like a hockey player does. This was the “ahh ha” moment for me as when I would come on my down swing it was my shoulders turning first, keeping my club head in the exact place I had it and not opening up when I brought my hips first. Once I started my downswing my shoulders would turn and my hips would then follow, and as I got used the the swing change I could then bring my hips with my shoulders to rotate even faster. So now instead of having a ball off the tee that went 200yards straight and did a 90* turn another 100 yards, may go 10-15 yards to the right, or on occasion a draw. I swear my slice was so bad I could’ve entered a trick shot competition with it. I would love to go on a simulator and just how much changing my backswing has changed my approach angle and other things.
i've been playing golf for a little over 8 month now, currently 42.9 HCP. I just got back from a golf lesson with our local pro and he said the exact same thing. What a Legend. Thank you Grant :)
this videos are amazing to watch for me because i want to play golf in high school and get better for when i play with my dad, i would love to make more of a competition for my dad when we play. Thanks for these awesome tip videos :)
I played 18 for the first time in years, and I tried the new grip about the emblem facing up with a stronger grip. For the first time in my life, I hit more straight shots than slices. Thank you so much, Grant. Now, I just need to work on my ball contact.
Awesome job, Grant! Another point I would add to this would be alignment, and how to visualize aiming properly. I'd estimate that about 90% of beginners/slicers are aimed 10+ degrees right of their intended target, and have no idea that they're doing it. But your brain knows, and tries to pull the ball back to the target. The out-to-in path naturally occurs, as it must. This is a crucial step to curing a slice, imo. Apart from that single omission, you totally nailed it. 👌
Great video and easy to understand. I don't slice any of my clubs except my driver. I'll take these easy tips to the range tomorrow and see how it goes.
I am in the process of learning this with a lesson I took today. When I hit my first draw with the help of my instructor I had the biggest smile on my face. Felt so good. I can slice a ball so hard with my natural swing lol
This is a great video but another huge reason people struggle to fix their slice is because they don't know how to release the club through impact correctly, and I'm not talking about getting "handsy" and flipping. A stronger (technically neutral) grip helps but if you're not releasing the club you'll get very confused like I did. I can hit a fade or draw now and I release the club on both shots, I just adjust my grip a few degrees stronger/weaker and make the same swing because I was never able to control my club path consistently enough to work the ball that way. Hope this helps someone!
@@Reffitt2 nice man! that’s awesome! i was getting fitted for irons and the fitter just told me in a short sentence how to release the club and hit a tight draw for the rest of the fitting it was amazing
@@jacobphilpot1458 No joke?! That's incredible! I would love to get fitted for a set of irons. Well, I'd love to get fit for every club but one step at a time. I started lessons this summer and it's made such a big difference in my game. Well worth the money in my opinion. Now my buddies that I play golf with get mad at me sometimes. At first they were impressed with the dramatic changes then they started getting frustrated. Lol! Especially since they've spent $2-3k on clubs and I'm using an entire set of the new(ish) Tommy Armour 845 series clubs, all except my Odyssey Stroke Lab putter. Honestly the 845 stuff is really good and I hit it just as well as anything else when I got them for less than half the price of big brand. Although I wish I could afford Taylormade, Callaway, Titleist, ect. clubs.
Nice job on the lesson Grant. You have good information and you communicate it extremely well. Well done. Keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🙏🙏
I started playing golf for fun when I was 12 with my brother, and I had grown up playing baseball which I continued into high school. BUT I actually never hit a slice and I found I naturally had an overly strong grip position naturally when aligned. Thought that was interesting, got lucky with that cause it led to me really enjoying golf probably more than I would have, and I played golf in high school getting a lot of free golf, and it became a huge passion in my life.
This all makes sense to me but I have been playing golf a long time and is a great explanation on how to fix the slice. I think it would be helpful to explain what impact the swing path and face angle are having on the ball. With a slice the ball spins clockwise looking down, with a draw counterclockwise (right handed player). The spin is what causes the ball to move left or right from center. Thanks for the great content Grant and GG
Love this, I've been working on the start of the downswing and exaggerating the shallowing out of the swing and that has turned my fade into a high, long draw
Enjoy watching your videos when the group competes but this was an excellent refreshing training video too! Nice keep it simple explanations! Kudos to Grant & Steve!
Absolutely love and appreciate the GoodGood Labs videos. Grant makes it easy to understand and explain body position feels that you should have. Through your guys videos, my slice/fade is a baby draw on command! And now, hitting a fade just feels gross… thank you very much! Keep it up! 😀
Just came back to golf after a 9 year hiatus due to back surgery. Had a slice that I didn’t really have before. Watched this video recently, strengthened up my grip, adjusted club path and its gone already. Just need to be consistent with it and apply that when on the course.
I would like for you to cover some gear related questions. I was in a golf shop once, when a customer wanted new grips on his brand new clubs. After a short diagnosis from the pro, it was determined he didn't need new grips at all, but just that he was using a golf glove that was to big which caused him to get blisters. Can we cover some things like proper fitting golf gloves, what causes tears in them or why they wear in certain places. (eg.. wrong grip causes more wear on thumb pad. etc... ) Also like when purchasing golf shoes, what to look for to get a good pair? What are sdvantages of golf shoes? etc...What items are needed in the bag as a minimum? What to look for in a bag?
Grant should quote this as well.. this works beautiful on those 25 to 30 yard chips that feeling like you’re taking it back to the right and hitting to second base $$$
Nice vid guys. Let me say though that there is nothing wrong with a baseball grip. Some instructors even recommend it for better control (info golf channel). I’ve used it successfully for 50 years . I might add that some pros (very few)have used baseball grip.
Video suggestion! How to fix pushes with no draw! I use strong grip, know how to hit straight shot to the right, but release doesnt happen the way i want it to and it doesnt draw for me. Love everything yall are doing. much love
I had this problem when I first started playing this summer. Now more often than not I hook my driver, but have no issues with Irons. So I have invested into a 2 iron and can stripe it but would like a video breaking down a duck hook maybe it will help Garrett as well.
I was hitting a massive slice every shot in one of my rounds. Then, all I did was close my glove hand a tiny bit so I could see more of the logo and the very next shot was dead straight. Obviously now I’m working at a better swing path but just that slight grip change made a huge impact.
What helped me is knowing that the perfect draw is always club path being half the number that your path is, for example 4 degrees positive club path would be 2 degrees open face
I'm 49 seconds in. These boys are tired or they've had a couple beverages. The sunglasses for Steve makes me think it's the latter. Either way, I love to see it, thank you for the lesson 🍻 Edit: I'm 2 minutes in. These boys are buzzin.
Can you explain what the club face should be doing throughout the swing because I feel like I’m trying to hold the face square to target line for to long (I don’t know if this is why I’m getting my arms from disconnecting)
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life
Cause of the slice? Same here hahaha
Same lol
Hope it works
Same man 😂
Is this bubbies burner?
Grant is a big asset to GG. Great lesson
Hes a bit lippy though 😆 🤣
This did not age well 🤣
This has to be the best breakdown video of how to correct a slice I've seen on RUclips. Keep it up Grant!

Grant needs to have a Lab coat either when doing the labs or in his logo. my slice is only on my drives

Just very much focus on hitting up on the ball. This helped me a lot curing my driver-only-slice.

The alignment stick drill totally helped to cure my slicing! Was so refreshing it to see it here. Awesome vid as always, boys!!
Great video! Common problem for most golfers...simple tips but very useful and educational.
I love watching theses videos and Grant always looks as stoned as I am watching these which makes them even better
Thank you Grant!! You really have a gift for instruction
Amazing video! I love it when the Steves get together
Wowwwww y’all really only uploaded this video after I needed it. Got beat by my coach, started slicing after the first 8 holes
The grip and the takeaway are huge my coach worked on that with me this year and it’s working!
I am in the process of learning this with a lesson I took today. When I hit my first draw with the help of my instructor I had the biggest smile on my face. Felt so good. I can slice a ball so hard with my natural swing lol
What a brilliant video thanks Grant snd Steve
The one we’ve been waiting for
Grant this will help me so much seeing as I just got my new irons delivered, thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪

What the preferred angle for club path and club face?
Finally😩
