Understand Your Slice: Fixing Path and Face Issues
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Identify the key reasons behind your slice by analyzing path and face angle.
- Learn how to adjust your grip and setup for a more effective swing path.
- Recognize the visual cues that can help troubleshoot and correct your slicing issues.
In this video, we'll explore the fundamental concepts behind slicing the golf ball, focusing on both the club path and face angle at impact. Understanding these elements is crucial for correcting your slice and improving your game.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.840
In these first two weeks we're gonna cover drills that will help you explore
2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:04.080
the
3
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.840
concepts of slicing the ball. So the concept of slicing ball is relatively
4
00:00:07.840 --> 00:00:11.880
simple. I've got this alignment stick on the ground and what it means is that
5
00:00:11.880 --> 00:00:18.400
through impact the club is coming from outside to inside like so and the face
6
00:00:18.400 --> 00:00:23.520
is pointed close to my target so that creates an outside-in path with a face
7
00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:29.080
that is to the right of that path and so that open face to the path going like
8
00:00:29.080 --> 00:00:35.040
so creates clockwise spin which moves the ball off to the right. So we're gonna
9
00:00:35.040 --> 00:00:41.080
identify some of the major reasons. The two things we have to we have to fix
10
00:00:41.080 --> 00:00:46.440
are the face and the path because if I were coming across like so and all I did
11
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:50.710
was make my club face square to the path now I would hit the ball way off to
12
00:00:50.710 --> 00:00:50.760
the
13
00:00:50.760 --> 00:00:58.280
left and if I was coming outside to in or I fixed it coming inside to out but
14
00:00:58.280 --> 00:00:58.640
kept
15
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:03.000
the face the same now I would hit it way to the right. So unfortunately you're
16
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:07.200
gonna have to work on both of these issues of the face and the path. Now some
17
00:01:07.200 --> 00:01:10.720
of the easy ways to adjust the face are going to be taking a look at your grip
18
00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:13.880
and how we go through the release but we'll do that in the control center
19
00:01:13.880 --> 00:01:18.650
section and then how we control the path the simple stuff is making sure that
20
00:01:18.650 --> 00:01:18.680
we
21
00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:24.080
get into a good setup position that positions me in a way that the path will
22
00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:29.000
most likely come from inside out and then putting something on the ground or
23
00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:32.800
having visual feedback to allow my brain to just try to kind of troubleshoot
24
00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:32.920
and
25
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.040
figure it out. Now if you go through these first two weeks and you're still
26
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.840
slicing the ball we've got two more stages that we're gonna go through to
27
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:44.320
understand well maybe it's my power source and then lastly maybe it's my
28
00:01:44.320 --> 00:01:46.920
control center.
