Grip down on your driver to the bottom of the grip (on the range). Hit balls. If your slice goes away, slowly move back up the grip trying to swing the same way.

There are a lot of drills for people who slice, but if that one works, it's one of the simplest ones you can do. You need to tell us more about your slice before we can give you better drills - is it a path issue (out to in) or a face issue (open)? Do you pull your irons or actually hit them "straight"?

Since there are so many different reasons why you might be slicing the ball it's hard to pinpoint the problem without first narrowing down some of the possibilities.

How's your alignment? One thing a lot of slicers do is aim left of the target in order to compensate for their slice, now their stance is open and it's just making the problem worse.

Have you ever seen your swing on video or had somebody watch you swing? Sometimes what feels like a normal swing to you has all kinds of problems that you'll never be able to see.

well i figured it out.. I was practising and i thought..hmm i see people swaying there knees so i tried that and it works...but only for the irons still to use my driver with that technique

    • So far only -5 but... I've Birdied 2 of the 4 holes I wasn't able to last year.  Hopefully will Birdie all 18 this year, maybe an Eagle or 2!
    • Titleist TSR1 or TSi1.  Both have adjustable hosels. edit:  Forgot to mention the GT1.
    • I've been really absent all things golf since September but have been getting the bug lately.  Today in SE Michigan we have our first thaw of the year.  It is Sunny and 53 degrees and boy do I want to get on a golf course!  Spring is around the corner 🙂  
    • I assume you are posting 15 or 16 holes and letting the USGA algorithm insert projected scores for the missing holes. How is that going? Are the projected scores reasonable? I have yet to do this.
    • You're right. I haven't really had an issue with this before, but it's definitely worth closing the legs a bit to see what happens. I've had 2 of these and never had this problem before. About 5 years of use between the 2. It's really odd. Yeah, I've always had a bit of inconsistency and misreads, but this is a new level. I did a baseline session last night, and all my of stack speeds had decreased by roughly 5-10 mph (with me throwing out the obvious garbage readings). Weirdly, the driver speed actually seemed to be right where I expected it. I guess maybe it's having trouble with the smaller head of the stack vs. a driver? Whatever it is, I think it's time for me to go with the stack radar.
