How to stop slicing in Golf

What coaches agree on

  • A slice comes from the clubface being open relative to your swing path at impact, and the face has the bigger influence on the ball's curve, so squaring the face is the priority fix.
  • Actively rotate your hands and forearms through the hitting area, feeling the toe of the club pass the heel, to close the face through impact.

Common mistakes

  • A weak grip, with the top hand not turned far enough on top and the bottom hand riding on top of the grip instead of underneath, is a common cause of a clubface that stays open through impact.
  • Starting the downswing with the shoulders and arms instead of the lower body steepens the swing and throws the club outside the line, leaving the face open at impact.
  • The face often opens well before the downswing starts, from rolling the forearms open on the way back or letting the lead wrist cup at the top of the swing.

How to: STOP slicing the golf ball | REALLY EASY TIPS

Reviewer The step-by-step staging here -- fix one thing, confirm it, then move on -- is exactly how this should be taught.

Moderator Both stages (face via grip, path via feel) are entirely about eliminating the slice. Nothing else competing for the runtime.

How To Stop Slicing: The Downswing

Reviewer The most substantive breakdown in this batch - actual mechanism, not just a swing thought.

Moderator Explicit, focused breakdown of downswing sequencing as it relates to slicing - wrist condition transitioning down, clubface timing, connection vs. separation of the arms from the torso. Never strays from the topic.

How To STOP Slicing The Driver In MINUTES

Reviewer Properly separates the path problem from the face problem -- most slice videos just mash them together.

Moderator Thorough, entirely on-topic -- defines the slice, explains multiple root causes (grip, wrist cup, trying to help the ball up), gives drills for both path and face separately.

How To Stop Slicing: The Grip

Reviewer Start here if your slice comes from your grip - properly step by step.

Moderator Frames grip explicitly as the number one cause of slicing and stays there for the entire video - hand placement, knuckle count, thumb position, all in service of a square clubface. Nothing off-topic.

GOLF TIP - STOP SLICING

Reviewer Honest about the timeline, and the drill gives real physical feedback.

Moderator Directly answers a viewer's slicing question, diagnoses clubface fanning open in the takeaway as the cause, and gives a named drill (Humpty Dumpty) built to fix it. Explicitly a slice-fix video start to finish.

How To Stop Slicing: The Backswing

Reviewer Clear visual, clear fault, and it warns you not to overdo the fix - good coaching.

Moderator Two specific, common backswing faults tied directly to an open clubface and thus the slice - rolling the forearms open on the takeaway and cupping the lead wrist at the top. Stays entirely on the sub-skill.

Moderator Fixes the slice from the setup: ball too far forward, spine leaning toward the target, and a weak grip. Gives a fix you can check: ball just inside the lead heel, spine tilted away from the target, stronger grip. Squarely about the slice, from address.

Reviewer Specific and testable: club on your belly button to feel the spine tilt, ball just inside the lead heel, stronger grip. Setup only, no swing-path work. Small plug at the end.

Stop Slicing in Golf: Effective Tips

Moderator On the slice's most common cause: yanking the club down from the top, which steepens the downswing and sends it over the top and across the ball. The fix is to let the arms fall into the slot instead of pulling. Squarely about stopping the slice, via the swing path.

Reviewer Clear cause and fix: pulling from the top makes you steep and over the top, so let the arms fall as you shift forward. Path only; nothing on grip or clubface.

STOP SLICING Your DRIVER And PULLING Your Irons!?

Reviewer Explains the actual downswing sequencing fix, not just 'aim left' band-aids.

Moderator Connects the driver slice and the iron pull to one root cause (over-the-top sequencing) and gives driver-specific setup detail - stays on topic for slicing throughout, the iron/pull material ties directly back to the same fix rather than a tangent.

Easiest Way to Stop Slicing in Golf: Master the Clubface

Moderator A slice fix from a lesson: diagnoses a steep, out-to-in swing with an open face, then gives a feel to fix it. Get the toe of the club beating the heel to the ball and swing more from the inside, one hand at a time before hitting balls. The student goes from slice to fade to straight to a little draw. Squarely about stopping the slice and covers both path and face.

Reviewer Good teaching: names both causes of the slice and gives you a one-handed 'toe beats heel' drill you can take to the range.

Reviewer Quick, no-nonsense drill - worth the 60 seconds.

Moderator Single, specific fix for the backswing fault (getting 'across the line') that's a common driver of both slices and, if overcorrected, hooks/pushes - dead on topic, no filler.

Golf Tip Part 2/3- How To Stop Slicing Your Driver

Reviewer Useful checkpoint to self-check your takeaway, a bit more talk than drill though.

Moderator Same series, same clear anti-slice framing - this time backswing width and the transition into the downswing, both explicitly tied to why golfers slice (getting flat and climbing on the inside, arms disconnecting on the way down). On-topic throughout.

How To Stop Push Slicing Your Driver

Reviewer Different cause than the usual slice video -- sequencing, not just path -- worth it if the standard fixes haven't worked for you.

Moderator Push-slice is a slice variant, so it's legitimately in the sub-skill, but a meaningful chunk of the explanation is really about the 'push' (no curve) side of the fault rather than the slicing curve itself -- split focus.

Reviewer Concrete, demonstrated fix with a real student — good feel drill.

Moderator Directly targets the classic slice-producing move (coming over the top from poor hand depth) even though the word 'slice' doesn't appear in this excerpt — shallowing the club is one of the standard fixes for a slice.

Beginner
Stop Slicing the Ball: Quick Golf Fix ⛳️

Moderator A quick slice fix through the grip: lay the club flat, close the face, take your grip, then reset square so your hands end up in a stronger position that closes the face at impact. Squarely about stopping a slice, though it covers one cause only: an open face from a weak grip.

Reviewer Works if a weak grip is your problem, but it ignores swing path and promises more than one fix can deliver.

How to Stop Slicing Your Driver: Drop Hands to Pocket

Reviewer Good feel for slicers: let the club fall, hands to your pocket, swing smooth. Plenty of banter, thin on why it works.

Moderator On the slice, blaming throwing the club from the top and swinging too hard. The fix is to get to the top, let the club fall as if your hands are dropping into your pocket, and swing smooth. Squarely about the slice, via the transition.

Title: Instagram

Reviewer Real, correct payoff at the end, but a lot of detour to get there.

Moderator Spends most of its time on a broader debate about grip variance among tour pros, but does land on a concrete, directly relevant point for slicers: strengthen the left hand/arm position. On topic, just takes a while to get there.

GENIUS Drill to STOP PUSHING The Golf Ball Right
Intermediate
GENIUS Drill to STOP PUSHING The Golf Ball Right

Reviewer The wrist drill would help a slicer too, even though it's not framed that way.

Moderator This is framed around fixing a push (ball starts right and stays right), which is technically a different miss than a slice, but the actual mechanism taught - a cupped left wrist opening the clubface at the top - is one of the two core levers behind a slice too. Real overlap, just not a perfect label match.

Intermediate
Fix Your Golf Slice & Early Extension Before the Club Moves

Reviewer The grip fix (glove hand more on top, trail hand on the side) is spot-on for a slice. The other two checks are about early extension and rotation, and it's rapid-fire.

Moderator A three-point setup check. Only the first, a weak grip that rolls the face open, is a direct slice fix. The other two cover early extension and rotation problems, though tilting the spine away from the target helps too. Covers the slice among other things.

Reviewer Good idea in here (rolling the club under plane like Hogan) but it's a tough one to actually follow.

Moderator Everything discussed - rolling the club under plane, the wrist/hand action, referencing Hogan and Dustin Johnson - is aimed squarely at killing the slice/hook pattern. On topic even though it's hard to follow.

How to Stop Slicing Your Iron Shots

Reviewer One quick tip, no real depth -- and there's a pitch for their other content at the end.

Moderator This is about skinny/fading iron contact, not really 'slicing' in the usual driver sense -- same left-to-right family of misses, adjacent enough to be useful, but not squarely the sub-skill as usually understood.
