00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
In this video we're going to look at the high level of the slice and what's a logical

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,000
progression that we need to make.

00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
So everybody's slice is going to be a little bit different but I want you to see kind of

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:17,000
the general recipe that I tend to use with golfers if their main goal is getting rid of

00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
their slice, hitting them all a little further.

00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,000
This recipe tends to work pretty well.

00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:31,000
So with a slice you've got here's kind of a, let's put target line on this little drawing.

00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,000
So we've got a target line like this.

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
To hit a slice the club face is pointing slightly left of the target line so kind of in

00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
that direction over there.

00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,000
This is probably closer there.

00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And then the path is going down this way.

00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
So the difference between those two is going to create the amount of slice curve just

00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,000
like that.

00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:59,000
So to fix the slice we have to get to here where basically the path is going more in line

00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
with the target and the club face is slightly closed which will produce a little bit of

00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:10,000
drawsment or if you want to keep it basically we have to get the path in the face a lot

00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
closer like it is down here in this model.

00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000
But in order to do that what would have to happen is there's a face to path relationship

00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
and there's a path relationship.

00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
I would have to change both of those in order to jump from here all the way down to here.

00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:34,000
So a normal natural step or the progression that I like is first thing we're going to do

00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000
is we're going to get the face to path relationship the same.

00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,000
So when you're doing this the only thing you should be monitoring is the amount of curve.

00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Anything where the ball curves off this way off to the right for a right hand to golfer

00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
that is going to be a missed opportunity or a bad shot.

00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
Even if it's just slight we're trying to work on our face to path relationship.

00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:03,000
So we're going to hit a lot of poles and pull draws while we're working in this face.

00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
But then what you do is you've learned how to hit a pole and a pole draw.

00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Now we can add some of the shallowing movements to then get the path going more in the direction

00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
of the target with this better face to path relationship.

00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
It's one, two, three kind of approach tends to work really well for most people.

00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:26,000
We'll break it down a little bit more while I go through the demos of some of the things

00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
that you might want to watch out for.

00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000
But this is your overall recipe for the steps in fixing your slice.

00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:40,000
So walking through that progression of what the drills are designed to accomplish here

00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
from the down the line view.

00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Down the line will be the easiest way to see some of these path things for fixing the slice.

00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:52,000
So overall we're trying to get the club to kind of swing more along this way with a face

00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
that is somewhat closed to the path.

00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
So it'll end up kind of looking like that.

00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
If you're struggling with the slice then what it means is the overall shape of your circle

00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
is going more this way.

00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
And the face is staying relatively open to that path which is causing the ball to spin over

00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
that way.

00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:17,000
So the normal progression is step one would be working on getting the club to close.

00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Now if you're coming outside to in like this you will tend to be coming in more of a

00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
high to lower steep fashion.

00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,000
So if you just close the face what can happen is the club will just slam into the ground.

00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,000
That's okay.

00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Do that a few times.

00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And then what you'll have to do is now I've got a face that looks like this.

00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
Now I have to change the whole hoop so that it just kind of brushes the ground and

00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,000
the shallowes out that way instead of shallowing it out with the club face movement

00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
like so.

00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
So step one get the club face close to the path.

00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000
You'll end up hitting a bunch of shots that start way over there and go way over there.

00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,000
But then now you know how to close the face to the path with things like the motorcycle.

00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Now you can start to do movements that will adjust the path now that you have a good

00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:08,000
face to path relationship which will get the ball to start more straight.

00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
So that's the normal slice recipe which is you go from outside in kind of like this to

00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:20,000
now still outside in but with a better club face so hitting poles to then better club

00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
face and changing the path.

00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,000
That's the easiest recipe for figuring out your slice so you can use down the line camera

00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
to see if the face is really open here or where the path is and that can help you figure

00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
out where you are in that process.

00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
So I still need to work on getting the face closed.

00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Do I still need to work on the path where am I and then choose some of the drills in this

00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,000
section that can help you either close the face or move the path.
