The Legendary Golf Instructor, Hank Haney, Who Coached Tiger Woods To 6 Major Championships, 31 PGA Tour Wins, And 9 World Golf Championships Finally Releases His… 1-Shot Slice Fix That eliminates your slice after just...

Okay, I've seen the "Fix your slice in 15 shots" thing advertised for years. But apparently we can't wait to hit 15 shots. Now Hank will fix our slice in 1 shot! 

Seriously, one shot?

I think we've gotten to the point in our society where we need instant gratification. Why do I have to wait? I want it now? Do you really want me to have to hit 15 shots to fix my slice? ... Who has that kind of time? Can't I fix it in just one?

Or how about no shots like the “Think Method” from The Music Man?

Great reference.

What he isn't telling us is that his one shot cure for the slice is a snap hook. 😂

That's usually my answer. Generally on the very next tee box.

The commercials are terrible and snake oil, but I found an old Golf Digest article (mid 2000's) that basically goes through his clockwise and counter clockwise practice swing method that seems to be basically what the video is. I saw people in the background of the ad doing the circular swing exercise.

Has anyone actually tried his sequence out ? Is it worth spending some time with the exercises from the free article , and obviously more than 15 shots, with?

The forward swing into the backward swing thing works because the backswing gets so across the line at the top you move the club “under” in transition.

If that can translate to your regular swing, more power to you. It doesn’t for all.

So, if I'm reading this correct. Hank gave this information away back in the early-mid 2000's. Now he's charging for it. 

That's a good catch by you. @DCCarpenter

By the way, I'm not begrudging Hank for selling his idea. If its his idea, he has every right to make money off of it. It's just interesting when you consider the timing of what Hank was up to back then compared to now. 

I do think the "1 shot" thing is at best misleading. At worse an outright lie. But that's just my opinion. 

I've always preferred the "Hey, this is going to take some work on your part to fix." I've never been a fan of "Everyone who does this becomes a tour pro with in one swing." Because what does that say about me if I can't master it right away?

Wait, I do this and become a tour pro?  Count me in!  I’ll take Phil’s spot on the PGA tour, as he doesn’t seem to want it.

So I printed out the Golf Digest article today, I am going to do the drills tomorrow and am scheduled for 18 tomorrow. I have my Arccos data for my last 3 rounds at this course and other notes so I know where I had bad drives and/or sliced.  I will carefully follow the exercise outlined and do it before each round.

I have rounds scheduled Tuesday and Wednesday as well same place. This is a short course but actually has a decent slope rating because it is very narrow with no parallel fairways and every dogleg favors a draw.

I will update back here as I go. I've been bouncing between 3 wood, even 9 wood and 3 hybrid off the tee. For these rounds I'll stick to 3 wood exclusively for every non par 3 off the tee to be consistent. I'll start clearing my calendar for next year's US Open as well as this should set me firmly on the path to qualify.

That is the one, good to see the video. Article was pretty easy to follow but the video is even better.

    • Same here ;). I need to lose about 39 lbs of fat and gain 11 lbs of muscle. It's going to be a fun 17-20 weeks. I think the assessment of type of golfers is correct. I think there could be some overlap. The bad concept golfer could also be the band-aid golfer. I think the first two types of golfers are more likely to use YouTube now to fix their swings. YouTube will perpetuate bad concepts and also give them quick fixes.  Could I say that The Great Practicer might not need to know about making small mistakes to improve? I think learning can be intuitive. It might be quicker for them to have an instructor point out the exaggerations to get the feel.  I do think it is a good point on using foam balls. I actually like using them now. As long as you don't chunk a shot, the feel is consistent on mishits. You can really focus on just working on the swing and not hitting a shot. Also, I never thought about the advantage of being indoors all winter and setting up for the start of the season. When you live in the south, you can almost just get caught in playing 365 and not utilizing an off season to improve.  Yea, I think the only time block practice exists is the golfer on the range just mindlessly hitting golf balls. A great practicer could use block practice is specific cases. I agree that most everything falls into the variable practice.  I think most people tend not to be great practicers. I like the idea of practicing to be a great practicer. You have to be really diligent in how you structure your practices to make sure you are falling into the great practicer bin.  I do think in some instances being a band-aid golfer can be beneficial. If you are a great practicer, you have a tournament, but you are stuck with something and need help finding a shot for a weekend. I would see that as putting a band-aid on something then going back to being a great practicer. Like, hey you need to open the face, aim left, and hit a big push cut.  I agree. Once you turn on the practice mind it is tough to turn it off during a round.   
    • I'm pretty sure I've been three of the four of these. I don't think I've ever been the combative one. I may have internally disagreed with something a coach said, but I wouldn't voice that. I would say if I didn't understand what they were getting at. I think sometimes people (and since coaches are people to, at least for the time being) make jumps in their logic, which might very well be reasonable and justifiable, but they don't express the reasoning, so I may ask them to explain more or differently. But I don't think I've ever been #1. #2 I did to Erik a week or two ago. #4 is what I'm always aspiring to do and #3 is where I often end up because life finds a way. Really good listen and it was very interesting to hear the three of you talk like this about this stuff. I think this format can be a great way to get information across. And people are probably more responsive to criticism if it's not being directed at them specifically. Much better to talk to each other about generic type issues and people listening thinking "huh, I guess I do that sometimes, maybe I should try this instead" rather than having someone talking to the camera and saying "don't do this" or "try this". Also giving examples of people actually being #4 is good too. Seems more tangible than just saying to be a #4
