Here’s how to fix your slice with a driver:
Before we fix your slice with your driver, I need you to understand what causes the slice to begin with. I see a lot of golfers who struggle with a slice who come to us with all kind of reasons as to why they’re slicing the ball, and nobody emphasizes the most important part, which is that the clubface is open to the path.
You need to understand that you don’t hit a slice just because you’re too far over the top. You don’t hit a slice because you hang back on your right foot. And it’s not because your ball position is off or because your setup is off.
You’re slicing the ball because your clubface is open to the path, first and foremost. That’s the most important part of any technique to fix your slice.
Stop Casting and Create more Lag:
Starting your golf downswing with the arms and upper body and thus losing the angle between the lead arm and the club is called casting.
This action reduces the potential for you reach maximum club head speed and also compromises your ability to get ball then turf contact at impact.
In this video, Derek Hooper explains some of the reasons players make this casting error and shows a progression of drills that allow you to correct this move in your own swing.
Feel Drill Hip Rotation:
In this video Mark Gregson-Walters, has a simple sensory drill for you to try in order to feel the correct hip rotation on your downswing.
If you’re looking to generate more power and strike the ball more solidly, give this drill a go it’s the most important movement to sync your lower body and upper together during the golf swing.

3 tips for a Great Golf Swing Transition
Transition from backswing to downswing is the subtle sequence of movement that plays a huge roll in how cleanly a player strikes the ball.
It’s also something that even the very best players – Tiger Woods being a recent example – struggle with.

Shoulder Turn & Tilt in the Downswing
How the shoulders turn and tilt during the downswing and follow through. If you struggle with swaying, lifting, sliding, and/or early extension, this video is for you.
An important benchmark to look at on the downswing is when the hips reach level. Where your shoulders when that happens will be a big determining factor for how well you’ll strike it at impact!
The solution might be easier than you think!
Simple Trick To Fix Your Golf Swing!
Too often I see players using their arms and upper body too early in the downswing in an effort to generate club head speed and all they end up with is mis-hits and short shots.
In this video I explain a feel drill I have used with players for many years to help them start the downswing correctly. It is a simple drill but it has huge results especially for players who have spent many years fighting sliced golf shots and short drives.
I am sure it can similarly help you to start the downswing correctly and also increase the distance you hit your golf shots.
