This is exactly what I need. Used to hit a draw but since returning from lockdown I've gone all slicey and couldnt work out why👌
Thanks Mr. Rick Im about to go to the range and practice.
Nice vid fire 🔥
I need these 5 tips as a 1-page infographic PDF I can pull up on my phone during these early-season range days. Love it! Thanks, Rick!
Thank u so so so so so much
Me: Watches roughly 3.7 hours of golf tips a day
Also me: Tops first 4 balls on the range
I get under them and hit the roof lol
Keep your lead foot on the ground during back swing. Helped me✌️⛳
same bro
Same
Ahhh worm burners! Then your buddies are laughing at you, at least mine did!!
I'm amazed how I can throw my clubs 'straight' into the lake but fade with every hit of the golf ball.
Ditto lol
Just let a 8 iron rip 50 yards today. The club of course the ball went 6 feet
You won the internet 😂👌🏽
The only time I hit straight is when it’s a water hole
The hardest part of taking advice is having to do it all the opposite way as a lefty 😅
FACTS!
Righttt
@@pmlonghorn7694 no man, left
;)
Lol
Fuck bro golf is hard enough.
TLDR: 1. Strong grip and 2. Club pointing downwards - 3 times a week (50 balls each day). No slice for life. :)
I used to have a very bad slice. Sometimes the ball would go 50 yards to the right. I was struggling to keep the ball straight. To fix this I saw plenty of videos but none of them were effective for me.
This video however was a game changer. Within a week, I was hitting the ball dead straight. Go to the range regularly for 3 weeks (3 days in a week would be enough) and hit 50 balls with the following two techniques as suggested in the video
1. Strong grip
2. Club face pointing downwards
You would start seeing the difference from day 2 or max by day 4. Be patient, keep your head down and do the hard work. You'll be better. Driver according to me sets the mood for the entire hole, cuz its the first shot. It is crucial to get the tempo and the mood right early on in the game.
I play the opposite fairway quite often
i will try this week.,,, thanks-
This is fantastic, thank you kindly for taking the time.to write this out. I was planning a couple days to the range for practice this week and will take.this to heart. My slice has gotten so much better cause of Rick, my whole game has, it's truly amazing some of these tutorials are free I remember what golf tapes used to cost just to rent.
hard work, never failed. right?
Why is my slice only with my longer clubs? My slice begins to appear around the 5 iron and gets worse the longer the club. I slice it very consistently 50 yards overall my swing per club is very consistent driver is 200 yards forward 50 right and 9 iron is always straight and 110 yards. If my swing is consistent should I learn to play with it or should I learn to correct it and potentially get more distance?
I was telling my Wife over the weekend that I'm always slicing and I didnt know how to fix it. So thankfully I'm subscribed, and now I can work on hitting it straighter. Thanks Rick!
I wish my wife let me talk to her about golf lol.
Mine was sleeping so does it still count? Lol jks she was awake
I feel like I’m the only “kid” watching his videos
@@kierantuck9 haha
I've been watching you for about a year now. There are a ton of golfers on RUclips doing tutorials. You have a special way of explaining drills and tips better then anyone else on here. No fluff straight to the point without 30 minutes of nonsense. Thank you for all the hints that you pervide us.
175 disliking this clearly watched this went to the range and sliced the first shot
me
Sliced 70-80 percent of the bucket actually. Guess lessons are needed 🤷🏽♂️
Haven't used a driver in years Purley because of the slice.
Either slice it way right into the woods
Or catch it perfect and hit it straight left into the woods.
@@grumpy-dad3701 ahaha I would do the same
Some of the best advice I have ever had, you deserve 1 mil subs Rick!!
What Ethan said --- can't wait to follow this. Subscribed and rang the bell. :)
shill account?
Rick, thank you so much for this video. I implemented the drills in today’s round. Once everything started left, adjusted my aim and then it happened...my first ever eagle! 250 yard drive and a 40 yard chip into the cup! Thank you so much for the videos!!
16 handicapper here and last year I was shooting in the high 80’s/low 90’s. Went to Belek in March and implemented some of your techniques. Since our club reopened I’m now shooting 80-83, with some massive room for improvement. Thanks to your guides. Absolutely the best coach out there.
The guide you posted in about January/February about the wear in the glove of your palm and the weak grip, it actually felt like you were speaking directly to me!
Amazing and thank you.
First ever you tube comment but felt the need to after just getting back from 18 holes and trying this on the range before. Slice has gone completely has given me a drive of 250 to 280 dead straight.( not including the one when the 2 woman behind watched me shank one completly) game changer for me. Thank you.
This video absolutely fixed my slice I’ve had for over 10 years. I had managed to learn get it down to a playable fade but now I’m hitting straight/slight draws longer and more predictable! Thanks for a great lesson!
Which of the 5 tips fixed it for you?
This video literally fixed my slice!!! It was all in the hand position. “Strengthening my grip” made everything hook and from there I eased it to straight. I can’t thank you enough!!!
Exact same for me, using his 2 knuckle method I actually find it very hard to slice now because its a lot harder to twist your wrist to open the club face, thus making it hard to slice now
I had been struggling with a slice on my driver for the last several years. I hit all my other clubs well, but I dreaded stepping up to the tee. Nothing was working for me. I watched this video and something clicked. No joke, this 8 minute video fixed my slice. I have only missed 1 fairway in my last 3 rounds and I now feel confident stepping over the ball when I am on the tee box. Literally changed my game. Everything is so much easier when you aren't playing your second shot from the deep rough or behind the trees. Not to mention, I have saved a small fortune in golf balls. I have told at least a dozen people to watch this video and your channel in general and will keep spreading the word. Thanks, Rick!
Followed your advice. Slice improved greatly. Thanks!
Got my dad’s clubs after he passed ten years back, dusted them off this summer, kept slicing it at the range. I only wanted to do the clubs justice, learn how to hit the ball well, maybe play a round, but your love for the game rubbed off on me. I think I’m going to play more regularly now! Thanks
Will take those to the range and work through them one by one to see the effect.... it may be after simply changing to a stronger grip it’s improved!... if not, will try number 2 and so on!...
Thanks Rick 👌🏼
Recently picked the game back up after a few years off and relocating to Canada in 2019. Had lessons back in the north of England when I was growing up and played a lot throughout my 20s. Best I got up to was a bogey player and shot an 85 as my best ever score.
Just a note from Vancouver to say thank you, Rick. I’m a new subscriber and have been watching a lot of your stuff over the past few weeks, in between range visits and a few rounds!
This video made me realise I had a weak grip and was slicing my drives (rather than what I thought was just a natural fade). A simple tweak using these tips and I’m hitting straighter and longer - at least 30-40 yards on my drives.
Appreciate this video is two years old, but the advice is timeless. Keep up the great content and thanks for helping me fall in love with this great game again!
Thanks Rick. I have always struggled with a too strong grip and have been working to bring back to a more neutral grip. But as a result, I have been slicing my driver more. I am going back to a stronger grip after watching this. I appreciate your review slicing it will make everyone better at the game and enjoy it more. Great series of tips!!!!
Perfect timing for the start of the season. The last time you did this it helped and this was a good refresher for my game tomorrow morning so I stay out of the fescue
Nice! Now I only have five more things to circulate in my head as I'm setting up my shots. 🙄
So just practice swing the motions to gain muscle memory. Then it wont be a matter of remembering the tasks.
For me, my slice was due to holding the club wrong. I changed up the posture and it started going straight, not thinking about it either. It might not work for everyone, but it's a good start.
That's exactly what i thought
i’m playing tomorrow or the next day and i’m gonna write these on my hand briefly to try to remember them
On top of foot placement look down arms stiff bend knees slightly don’t let them move and don’t roll your hips
You probably only need to remember a couple of these. For me it's the outside-in swing when I'm trying to really rip it(which is every time I hit my driver, lol), I'll subconsiously try to pull the clubhead towards me on the down swing to generate more speed. If you take the club away to the outside, you will swing from the inside, a golf swing is like a tight figure 8, not a flat plane.
Perfect timing mate. I have been slicing and desperately needed these back to basics. Can't wait to get on the practice range tomorrow.
I've just started and I find this guys advice the best yet. Short, concise, not too much talking and plenty of shots to back up his info. Thanks!.
The grip change alone was a game changer. It feels really weird at first and the results are mixed but I had my best overall round of driving the ball. I’ll start focusing other tips little by little. Love your content Rick, I’ve never been able to be consistent off the tee until I saw your videos, you’re a great instructor!
I tried this out today, thank you so much!!!!! I got my first birdie today !!!!!!
You’re a great teacher Rick, explain things clearly and keep it simple. Also your positivity shines through, it’s great to watch!
Rick. Thanks for all you tutorials and how to fix videos. I really improved my drive shots tenfolds in the last six months. Then moved over to my short game 3 months ago, still working on it, but also improved a great deal. Keep up the brilliant content and helping out a fellow (trying to be) golfer.
"When you launch your head cover 20 yards onto a busy driving range".
You can stick some tee pegs through a towel if you're really worried about that like tent stakes. I've done that before. If you catch it, you'll know.
😂
legend.
Tbf
I’ve done it with an 8 iron once
Lol, I bet you won’t do that again
Hey Rick, almost at one mil. Second. I can't wait, already can tell its a great vid.
This and your driver guide actually helped a lot. Recorded my swing and was able to look at it piece by piece and make adjustments. Appreciate it man.
Your videos are fantastic. Used to play A LOT teens / early twenties, but life took over & I haven't really played in around 12 years. The tips in your videos are helping me control my swing like I used to. Will look to get some lessons again, but until then, your videos & the range are ideal. Playing 18 on Sunday, can't wait!
I've been slicing the ball for years..just got back from the course and I'm hitting it straight and getting more distance,well chuffed! Thanks Rick, hopefully I can maintain cheers
That’s awesome well done Ian! 🙌
Tuck that right elbow Ian! Glue it to your side on the downswing .
This video single handedly changed from me slicing 90% of my drives around 200 yards to hitting down the fareway 280.. 👌
Wow! I hope I can duplicate that. Which tip do you think was best? Which was hardest to replicate?
bobcat224 try # 2 first. I used to open face during take-away causing a weak fade....difference is about 55 yrds!
Quality
Jiggzie91same here. Took the forearm tip t o the course at the weekend and went from hitting 200 to ripping a 3 wood 275 uphill. Only problem there was the burn at 275 I don’t normally reach😂😂
Same... the tip that changed mine was the grip. I haven't even thought about the others, because the change in grip worked first time out!
Brilliant video, thanks Rick. I was working on this with my coach tonight on our floodlit golf range, before I saw this. He asked me to do a couple of extra bits but it still works. As a slicer he asked my to put my trail foot back 2 inches to open up the stance. Also to have the thumb on the right side of the club for the bottom hand. He also showed me the grip strengthening on the top hand. This all works. I used to be a drivers, hybrids and 3 Woods only girl, and try not to use the shallow irons. But my irons were good tonight. Thank you so much. 😃
Love this video!! I watched your 4 video series, and this is a super-condensed version of that, which I love!! Thanks Rick!!
This is what Golfers need a detailed brake down of the grip and the swing.
They also need to see their swing on camera. And find out which of these things is causing the issue
I'm nearly 50. I've had a slice for over 30 years. I fixed my slice overnight easily when I saw a video that showed me why my club face was opening. It's not anywhere near as complicated as these fixes. On the top of my back swing I was bringing my wrists back to try and add more power. So I was opening the club at the top of my swing. Easy fix is to take your left wrist and lock it straight on the back swing. As if you're throwing a straight jab. That stopped me opening the face and overnight my slice was gone. Since then I've watched pros at the top of their back swing and they all have their wrists straight at the top of the back swing. Try it. Hopefully it gives the same results I got.
Replying to my own post so hopefully someone sees it and it helps them. The game is much more enjoyable with a more reliable swing. Bring on the fades people. Enjoy your golf. It'll save you a fortune in golf clubs as you won't be bending them round your bag😂
@@leecummings2949thank you! Will be trying this today
i've just started playing golf again in February, hadn't played in over 10 years because i was so busy working and didn't have the time. I used to crush the ball straight off the tee back then, but now have been battling a massive slice issue that sort of comes and goes. Last week i was straight and long, but now hitting tee shots 50 yards right and short. When i was swinging it well last week, it was like i was bringing both arms straight backwards, away from my body and keeping my left wrist flat, keeping the club face closed....but for whatever reason i can't seem to replicate that swing now. It's driving me nuts and like you mentioned the game is so much more fun and enjoyable if you are hitting it straight off the tee
this video is GOD SENT thank you Rick
Rick you legend. I've been really struggle with a slice since an arm op, but watched this last night and headed to range after work today... Incredible results. Not one went right out of 50 balls. Cheers mate.
Literally everything said I’ve got a tendency of doing so this is great help
Same. He’s a great teacher
I haven’t sliced the ball since 2019. That was the last time I played golf
same
Reallly clear and concise points to curb the slice, looking forward to testing these out. Thank you
I played my first round with a “new” used set of R11 Woods last Sunday. I felt like I was hitting better and the evidence was there on more than a few occasions, and a lot of this makes sense now after trying the club out.
Another great tutorial Rick, keep them coming. This alongside your 8 iron chip around the green are brilliant examples.
Probably the best video I've seen to address this problem. When I was 12 I drove the green on a 270 yard par 4. Had loads of potential but as as I got bigger and stronger my swing became worse and worse. My slice is so bad I ended up giving up golf altogether. But over the last year I've been dying to get back into it. Can't wait to get out on the range and put these tips into practice
These will be getting used on Wednesday! Let's hope for an improvement :)
I love and enjoy your instructions because my English is too poor to understand most instructors around RUclips.You are the only instructor that I can understand every single word you say clearly.And,your instructions is reasonable and I can reduplicate it many times consistently in golf course.So, thank you very much.
Hi Rick, this video DEFINITELY helped me. It took me a few weeks but I totally 100% fixed a life-long slide. I am smashing the ball right up the middle about 180, which is a lot for me! I'm so happy I'm getting so much more accuracy and distance. Thank you and I have shared the video with many others.
To The person who disliked this vid: I bet u aren’t here for learning
does it really bother you that someone dislikes a video.... lol
Also tip 4 should be the first to change. Open face has nothing to do with the slice, open clubface to the path does.
True, although this one was more succinct.
Sometimes it could be click the wrong button without realizing it
Idk why I'm even watching this, I don't even play golf
Recommended?
Same, but ohwell pretty much ended up watching all his videos, felling like i could take tiger on now ✊✊
Get yourselves out on the course guys
Look at the bright side, you can stun your friends advising them on how to fix their devastating slice
buggub buggub BBB ookiooooooimninm
Great video! Thanks Rick
Thank you so much Rick. I’ve always had an inconsistent swing and mostly slices. Just by changing the grip as mentioned my drive swing completely changed and I have my desired 1-5 yd fade. Thanks so much!!
My wife thinks I'm a good golfer because the one time we went together I had the game of my life. Now she wants to go with me more often and I'm frantically watching all the youtube tips I can find in the vain hope that I can maintain that facade.
fixed my slice first shot ended up out driving my dad
lol my dad drives it 300 it'll take me a bit more than fixing my slice to beat him
Jman 2_0 lol my dad can’t even break 200
Luke Bowman my dad can drive 150 on a good day🤣🤣
I don't have a dad
i reckon most of these comments are just shills
Took this to the range twice this week and wow has it made a huge improvement! The in to out swing and having the club face more down on the take away have helped me the most. Thanks Rick!
I’ve actually used the over exaggeration method you’ve talked about with my grip to straighten my drives out and it works! Appreciate your advice and help and the detail in which you do it!
This would be perfect if I wasnt hooking it at the moment 😂
Same!
Hook or slice pretty much the same thing, all that differs is whether closed or open face at impact. Prob got a over top swing with closed face. Watch Rick's vid for fixing it. Easily fixed. Fixed mine by weakening the lower hand grip . I have a neutral grip
Same here. Everything is hooking for me except I managed to slice one drive today but i had to feel that to get rid of the hook.
@@AlexanderMacleod I started drawing/hooking when I started playing again since lockdown.
Got filmed at my last lesson and it ended up being that my swing was waaay too flat at the top, with the club pointing at about 10 o clock when viewing from behind (as in camera to facing down the range). Hadnt done that since I first started playing.
Took the swing back up high where it should be and kept everything else the same,instant fix and hitting it straight.
same lmaooo
I was watching a different video and I saw this and saw slice in the title and instantly clicked on it
Absolutely love your energy, ive been watching this channel for a few months and my golf game (whilst still amatuar) has got SOOOO much better because of you! Keep it up 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Rick! This video has seriously helped me!
Learning these steps have showed me the importance of mentality in golf. I run through a 8 step process when approaching the ball now. And these 5 steps are all included.
Huge thanks! This has really helped.
Dustin Johnson is a freak of nature. He's got an extremely bowed wrist... ouch!
no - it's just his natural way of swinging. Doing it when your body is not accustomed to it would be freakish
Dustin is amazing but you couldn’t teach somebody to do what he does and you wouldn’t want to.
Threw my club and it still sliced
Wow. Unbelievably great video. Thank you, so much!
Thank you so much Rick. Your strong grip tips helped me to fix my slice. ❤
Broke someone’s window with my slice maybe I soulda watched this before my round today 😬
Rip
The 0 dislikes are the people who don't slice the ball anymore because they watched this video!
I used to play alot of golf in my youth, and was hitting the worst slices you could possible imagine. I took lessons and trained like a mad man to try to solve the problem but without any result. It got so bad that i actually stopped playing. That was 13 years ago! I saw your 4 other videos on how to fix the slice and decided to try it out on my farm. It went straight as a bullet, took my old clubs to the nearby golf club and went to try it out on the range. The results were magnificent! I kid you not it changed my whole view on golf, and i directly went in and bought a new membership as well as some new clubs. Been playing golf on a level that i, in the past, only could dream on! Thank you and keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Rick!!!
Thanks Rick for another amazing video. I can’t wait to try these today. 😊⛳️🏌️♂️👌
Excellent advise Rick thanks
Had been struggling with a slice so far this year. Was effecting my scoring. Watched this video and since have been hitting the ball pure and long. Thanks for the video. You have made golf enjoyable again.
Excellent, huge thanks!
Thanks Rick, can't wait to give this a try....🏌️♂️
Thank You Rick - Your 5 Tips have done MAGIC with me. Today was my 2nd day applying your tips and I couldn't believe what was happening. I felt so confident after see my straight ones - One after the another.
Thanks a ton !
Rick thank you very much for this excellent advice. Played today and now hitting my best drives. Cheers
Superb Tips Rick!!
Really appreciate your advice. Thank you
Rick...I've been playing golf for 40+ years and i've always had a fade/slice that I've tried to correct with quicker wrist and/or stance, not much luck to say the least! I watched your video the other night and had to try a few things you suggested, placing the towel just outside of the club takeaway path and rolling the arms instead of the wrists. It worked liked a champ after a few tries with the driver, once I was used to it, I increased clubhead speed and throwing some power into it.....WOW! I actually think I was drawing the ball as the wind was right to left (im left handed) and I was hitting it straight as an arrow for the most part...this put a huge smile on my face!!!
Thank you for the great tips!!
Rick - great article in Golf Digest. You have always helped me in reviewing new irons and drivers. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Rick. That worked for me!
Great tips Rick thank you so much!
This video really help
Thanks rick
Great advice thanks rick
Rick, thanks a ton! South African golf courses opened, finally, this past Saturday and I tried points 1 & 2 of your fixes (strengthen the grip and point the face down on takeaway) and saw an immediate improvement which was incredible. Not a single slice the whole round with either the driver or 3 wood off the tee. Thank you!
Rick great video straight to the point with instant feedback. Thank you!
Excellent tips. Thank you just what I needed 🏌️♂️
Thnx...Rick...really needed these lessons to fix my bad slices...
Love your videos - thanks
Thank you Rick! These 5 tips are really great 👍 Thank you!!
Simple tips,but very effective,great video,thanks.
Great Video Rick! Helped me a Lot!!
Will try this tomorrow!!
Clear, helpful instructions, as always. Rick helped me control / eradicate my slice and make using Driver off the tee a possibility again.
Thanks Rick, great tips! 🍻
Rick, I started watching your videos after a recommendation of a friend. I was interested when you did a complete review of mizuno(my clubs) and hooked when you and peter finch filmed you playing with old equipment... the interesting part was the banter and filming ... far better than the match 2.0. It’s what golf tv should be!
Today I watched the 5 slice tips... I used the three knuckle test to make sure I had a strong grip and I lined up with my ball off center towards the toe. I had the best drives of recent memory. Just great tips!
So helpful thanks my guy
You're an awesome coach! Sending gratitude from South Africa
Lovely tips. Cheers.
I appreciate your teaching technique....straight to the point, and you teach through the positive with minimal deviations. Most enjoyable.
Thanks Rick!
