Why You Need This: How would you like to fix your slice forever?

Let's see if I can help with this video on how to "Fix Your Slice Forever."

Do your shots tend to float up in the air.

The harder you swing, the more they slice and the shorter they go.

No matter how hard you swing, the distance just doesn't come.

If you have experienced this, I can help you with this video.

Let’s kick that slice once and for all. I know how frustrating that is when you step up to the tee, maybe a hole like this where it’s a dog-leg to the left.

If you could keep it down the left side of the fairway, it’s going to make a much shorter hole, you’re going to get to that par 5 in two, but what happens?

That ball just leaks to the right side, the right side of the fairway. It goes a little farther than that, and gets int the trees.

Or even worse yet, you start hitting balls into the water, and out of bounds, and it really kills your score from that slice.

Even more frustrating, the more you try to fix this, the slower your club head goes, the more the ball slices and it feels like it’s really, really frustrating.

Well I’ve got a sure-fire fix and the root cause of what’s actually causing that slice for every single player that I’ve ever seen.

Now let’s get to this. Let’s talk about what’s really going on with the slice. It’s not what you’ve typically been heard.

We all know to roll the hands and release that club face. We’ve all heard that. If that was going to solve this, then we’d already have solved it.

So what do we have that’s really causing this slice? Well if I drag this club toward the target, I’m trying to swing toward this target out in the distance, and naturally, every single golfer, I did this, everybody I know does this when they very first start golf, they pull the handle toward the target.

The more I pull this handle, look what happens to the club face? The harder I drag that handle through contact, the more I accelerate this handle through contact, the more open that face gets.

What happens there, that ball starts way to the right. If you look at any beginning golfer, as they first hit their first few balls, I will bet a large amount of money those balls are going to the right.

Well, naturally because we’re good athletes, we start to realize I don’t want to hit shots to the right, it’s no fun hitting 45° to the right, so we start to come over the top to start to get that ball going a little bit more to the left.

So we still haven’t learned to release that face, we’re still dragging the handle through contact, but now we’re coming over the top to get that ball starting more left and then when it fades, it goes in the fairway.

Because most people are good athletes, because we actually have better hand-eye coordination than we think, we’re solving the issue of hitting to the right but it causes the byproduct of hitting a slice.

So what we do to this? Number one, we have to realize the hands have to slow down through contact to let that club roll on over and for that face to release.

If I feel like I’m dragging my hands through contact and really accelerating the handle of this club toward the target, there’s nothing I can do to release this face.

The good thing is, when I slow those hands down, I can release that club and the club can actually move a little faster.

So even though my hands aren’t going all that fast, the club head is accelerating, and giving me a lot of club head speed.

Even with pros, the hands are never moving more than 20 miles an hour, but that club head is moving 120 miles an hour.

So here’s what I want you to do. Let’s do a couple practice swings, 5 to 10, where you get used to not moving the hands very much, but rolling that face on over.

In the backswing, I’m letting the face open up, in the downswing, I’m letting that face turn all the way on over until it’s facing the ground. Do 10 or 15, just enough until you really feel like that face is going ahead and releasing.

Now here’s the cool thing. From there what we need to do is get that ball to go straight to the left. It seems crazy, but this will kick the slice faster than anything else.

So I’m going to make a couple little mini swings here, and I’m going to get that ball to start out just dead left, it’s really going to close down that club face.

Now the only way I can do this, again, is to slow down the hands and let that face roll on over. If I do this properly, it looks something like this, and that ball just shoots out low and to the left, directly darts off to the left.

Now I would go even more, but I don’t’ want to hit these houses over there. If I was to make harder swings, I would start hitting those houses.

If I’m working on this in the driving range, that’s exactly what I would do. I would just let that face completely turn on over.

I’d hit these trees, I’d hit those houses over there, and I’d really get that face closing down to get rid of that slice.

Now obviously, that’s not going to be the shot that we want to have, but that gets to the root cause of the problem. The root cause of the problem is me dragging the handle through which keeps the face open.

I fix that now, but slowing the handle down and releasing that club face to get that ball going to the left. Now you’re ready for the second part of this, which is actually going to be actually going ahead and adding some club head speed to this, and swinging more to the right.

People always tell you, hey swing to the right, it’s going to fix your slice. Well if I swing to the right and drag that handle through, I’m just going to swing to the right with the face open.

That’s going to give me that big block that I started out the original problem with. Now we fix that root problem by releasing the face.

Now you’re going to feel more confident swinging to the right, and I really feel like I can go much, much farther to the right, and I know that ball is going to start coming back to the left.

It’s a two-step process. If you just try to swing to the right, it’s not going to happen. If you just try to release the club face, it’s not going to happen because my hands are going to be overaccelerating.

But if I can put those two things together, slowing the hands down, releasing the club face is step number one.

Step number two is then swing to the right, then I can get that great draw that’s really going to have a lot of distance.

If you’re a member of the website, I don’t want you to stop here. This is a great way to kick that slice and get started fixing that slice.

But we want to build that long-term lasting result so we don’t even have to worry about the slice anymore, and a big piece of this is going to be what I call the Straight-Line Release from the Top Speed Golf System.

In the Straight-Line Release, I work on getting you to release that club in front of the golf ball, so that my hands are turning on over, my club face is releasing and turning on over, and that really makes it easy for the golf ball to just get in the way.

We don’t have to worry about timing up our hands as much when we learn the proper release. So if we can get that Straight-Line Release in front, a lot of this stuff is going to happen naturally.

Now the way to build this, go right now to the Top Speed Golf Straight-Line Release section, click on level one, start working on those drills today, and build that long-lasting results.

If I just go one drill here, and one tip there, and one tip there, those are going to work. They’re going to help, but I’m not going to progress as steadily as if I got into a system, I work that out, I built the proper technique that I can rely on forever.

So best of luck, I can’t wait to see you in the Straight-Line Release.
