erricka Gordo here with performance golf
stone today's video is on how to fix the
slice with your driver now our goal in
this video is to fix that slice for you
basically in media I need you guys to
start to understand what causes that
slice and how to fix it right off the
bat now we have some 15 shot fixes for
this slice I want you guys fixing that
slice by this week and I'm talking
practice this for a full week slices
gone by this weekend I need you to
understand first what causes the slice
before we go on and how to fix it now I
see a lot of golfers in person who
struggle with the slice certainly we
work with with a lot of slicers and a
lot of people come in and they come in
with all kinds of different reasons as
to why they slice the ball and no one
emphasizes the most important part which
is that the club face is open to the
path you need to understand that first
you don't hit a slice because you're too
far over the top you don't hit a slice
because you hang back on your right foot
you don't hit a slice because your ball
positions off of your setups off you hit
a slice because your club face is open
to the path that is the most important
part of this or any video you're gonna
watch on how to fix your slice you have
to understand and believe that part
first in order for us to fix that slice
and fix it quick we have to fix the face
first now how do we do that when I take
my normal setup I need to ensure that my
grip is on the club at least neutral to
slightly strong we cannot be trying to
fix a slice if I have my grip on here in
a weak position if my left hand grip is
overly weak if my right hand grip is
overly weak and we have other videos in
the grip and there's plenty out to refer
to those but we need to have that grip
go from a weak to a neutral or a strong
position you can play golf with a weak
grip but not if we're trying to fix the
slice pattern if you have a weaker grip
I need you to get those hands turned
clockwise on that Club right from face
on I want to see some of that logo of
the backhand I want to see some of those
knuckles I want that V pointing at my
right shoulder
I need my right hand getting in here
we're underneath here a little bit on
the grip I can't have my right hand more
on top in this fashion it's not gonna
work for us need my right hand
underneath again I want that V on my
right hand ad or towards my right
shoulder need a stronger grip pattern
that can help ensure the beginning parts
of closing a clubface that's
non-negotiable if you're watching this
video and you've struggled with a slice
for years on end you can't play golf
with that weak grip we have to get the
grip part number one now part number two
again
fixing the clubface I need to make sure
that the clubface stays square to
slightly closed at two key checkpoints
number one is during the takeaway I need
you guys to get that clubface tilted
slightly down towards the ground
or even all the way towards the ground
is that too shot absolutely it is for
you hits a slice you need two shot we
have to close the club face down as we
can get rid of that shot so I want to
get a normal set up I want to take my
takeaway I want to start to feel my left
hand point down towards the ground my
logo is pointing down to a gun notice
how that twist that clubface shot here I
want to see that at this checkpoint I
also in the follow-through want to see
the same checkpoints I want to see that
the clubface is tilted down towards the
ground the back of my left hand is down
towards the ground is that an
exaggeration and does that close the
club face absolutely it does that's the
entire point here if I can get my grip
strong enough if I can keep my face
slightly close to square on this side
half way back and slightly close the
square halfway through my clubface is
going to be shut for Shore and I can
start to curve balls to the left and
that brings me to my next key point to
get rid of the slice we just talked
about we need to fix the face but your
brain also needs to see a different shot
pattern okay we're not looking to go
from slice to right down the middle on
ball number one on ball number one two
three four five ten you need to start to
see something different which is the
golf ball hooking to the left we want to
see it going hard to the left in the
beginning for two reasons one you need
to do these pieces and your brain needs
to be convinced that they're gonna work
when you go play when you're on the golf
course we need to see that what I just
felt there gave me something different
that's part number one
part number two is once we get this
clubface closed and the balls curving to
the left now I have a lot of motivation
I'm gonna be able to start to fix that
downswing path right obviously a lot of
you guys during the downswing with that
face open start to get this outside in
swing path and that doesn't do any good
for us we hit it shorter that way the
ball curves even more and I can't fix
that though and this is important too
you are not gonna fix your over-the-top
pattern until you fix clubface if you're
someone who has a slice and you've been
trying to fix you're over the top
forever and it didn't work because your
face was too open and it's never gonna
work that way if I have an open Club
face my face is pointed to the right of
the target the only way I can get that
clubface pointing at the target and hit
a functional golf shot is by swinging
outside in if I made a good path swung
inside with my face open the ball is
gonna go a hundred yards to the right so
now that our face is gonna get shot now
you can work all those things you did
before they were probably good but it
wouldn't work because of your clubface
now I can start to work that path inside
out and straighten out the golf ball but
first before we do that we need to fix
the face we need to hit some shots to
the left on purpose this is how you fix
your driver you get rid of that slice
with your driver I'm gonna go ahead and
demonstrate an exaggerated version I
take my normal setup first I get my grip
on here and I want my grip to be
stronger than normal so for my face on
perspective my left hand is turned
towards the camera you can see more logo
stronger grip than normal I'm gonna get
the face shut down going back and get it
shut down going through and I want to
hit it left on purpose let's give that
one a shot grip is strong closed closed
hook on purpose good and that's a low
hook there to the left that's exactly
what I want to see and I want to do that
multiple times want my brain to see that
a lot and now as I continue to practice
after I do that for a little bit you
know I'm gonna hit as many shots as
needed right you should literally if you
do it correct I'm talking about you're
fixing your slice in one golf ball if
you fix your face it takes one swing and
nothing else now part number two is now
I take that same feel but I'm going to
get my path going more neutral and now
I can hit a golf ball that's gonna go
straight out there I don't need to hit
it left forever just enough to give me
motivation to swing from the inside so
now instead of me making a swing grip
strong close down close down trying to
hit a hook on purpose I want to make a
swing where I do the same piece and I
hit a golf ball dead straight with that
so that would be the next part of your
training okay fix the clubface first you
can literally fix your slice in one golf
swing hit some golf balls to the left
curve it and then work the path after
you can fix your slice within that
practice session definitely within this
weekend do that first do not start by
fixing your path fix your face first do
it that way will get rid of your slice
