GOLF TIPS: TURN YOUR SLICE INTO A DRAW WITH DRIVER BY JUST CHANGING BALL POSITION 

Dude you turn my slice into a fade! and sometimes a straight shot! i watched this video today and went into driving range after weeks of bad striking today i made over 60% of my shots hit the fairway

Thank you Ali. Now you have explained that it makes so much sense. Will give that a try next time .

Good video, I had instinctively figured this one out on my own and it helped massively

Great video buddy! I have had it driven into my head to have that ball and my big toe align, so this is going to be a game changer for me. Thanks!

Tried this today on the course and the improvement genuinely amazed me! Fantastic tip Ali, thanks 👍🏻

This is exactly what I struggled with in the past. Your video has helped tremendously. Thanks

Makes so much sense. Can’t wait to go and try this now.

Great vid. I have been guilty of moving my tee forward too much in an attempt to hit up on the ball. Makes sense thanks

This makes so much since. Thanks

Cheers Ali. So many teachers emphasise the low point in the swing arc. The square point in the swing arc always struck me as just important. I think youve highlighted my inconsistent set up. Im not a prolific slicer but occasionally throw in a real banana ball. I think poor ball position is the answer. Top video.

Serious Lightbulb moment...great video mate

Great piece of advice. I tried this before seeing your video and it does work. That frustrating left to right ball flight improves significantly. Also it helps to get lower down un one's stance sort of like Keegan Bradley, it helps to make the lie angle more upright thus promoting more right to left ball flight

Great video Ali and something a lot of people don't talk about as much. Ball position is crucial. 👍

Well explained and easy to follow, thanks and will be trying this on the range.

Yep agree will try this tomorrow. Thank you

Thanks for this Ali. I have been working with this even before I saw this. This explains things quite well. It works well for me. I am a short guy. Never was able to control a driver thats 45 or more inches longer. Now, with good ball positioning I am doing well. I think if people will watch this video carefully you will have helped a lot of golfers Ali !!!!! Enjoying my M 6 driver. Spider Dubiel

Great video, simply put but with reasoning that makes sense👍

Great tip. Like so many other golfers lots of advice out there to move tee further forward but too far forward causing the path further left. Will practice different ball positions based on shape needed 👍

Can't wait to try this!

Hi Ali, I hit my irons really well to the point that I often use a 3-4 iron off the tee because my driver has plagued me so much. Had a few lessons where it was advised I moved ball position further forward and really tee it up, made my slice worse and kept skying it. Anyway just been to the range and tee'ed it a bit lower and moved it just under my naval and wow, took 15 balls to get used to it but I was hitting it over 230 carry with a nice baby draw which is amazing for me. Maybe I could squeeze a few yards more by hitting more up on it but that sort of distance is fine for me especially when its straight and controllable!

Great video. I tried and It works !!!

just come back from a round putting this into practice and what a difference, before i had the ball off my little toe and slicing badly. It felt wrong in my head to bring the ball further back but I tried it and wow what a result, the drives have started to hit down the fairway again instead of being way off to the right. Thanks for a great Tip Ali - best wishes Nick

Great video and very useful graphics to show the swing measurement improvements w the ball played in a more back position. The thinking is usually the clubs is still moving in to out when moving the ball ahead and the face is closing. Actually it is the opposite as the very helpful measurements show. I find I can hit the ball a lot more solid too - less worry about flipping the wrist and trying to hold off on the release. Too much bad advise out there to move the ball forward to hit up on the ball - which I always find is a recipe for a slice. Play the ball back a little and maybe tilt your spine back if you want a little higher launch. One of the more useful videos I have found so far . Thanks.

Great tip. Will try it soon.

Will try this thank you for the tip

Great.....simple instructions....Will try it tomorrow to see if get rid of my left to right shot

Excellent lesson, very clear. Thank you very much.

awesome video, cant wait to go out and try it

Holy hell this works!!! Awesome tip. Thank you

I tried this and it definitely helped to keep drives on target. Only side effect was a lower launch since you aren’t swinging up as much but that can probably be resolved by setting the driver to more loft

Great lesson very clear thanks!

I tee'd up further forward after advice and I got a slice most times. Going back to what I used to do in future. 👍

well explained control very important than distance

Excellent tip

This works!!!!!! Straight or slight left of target 😀. Low and high shots depending on takeaway, drag it low along ground for booming moon shots. Love the setup.

Thanks Ali. I done this last week and it helped me hit the ball so much better off the tee. So much so that l qualified for club match play and when on to win the final last Friday evening. Thank so much.

Great lesson as a 58 year old my driving accuracy and distance has improved immensely with this adjustment I've never been a big hitter but I'm happy seeing the ball 240 yards down the fairway on a regular basis cheers from Bonnie Scotland

Excellent, thank you

Excellent tip, I will give it a try next time.

fantastic, thanks

Must try this slice is starting to do my head in thanks

I have tried this setup before and it really worked....

Great video. Well put. Great instruction. Keep bringing it.👍🏌⛳😀

Well explained Ali ! Great points. I also believe that it is easier to hit the ball straighter with more loft. Driver obviously is the club with the least amount of loft. Less loft = more side spin, hence slicing !

VERY insightful. Just what the doctor ordered. Thank you!

I’m off to try that. Struggling with a slice at the moment. Thanks for the tip

I have always suffered from the slice,what I’ve found with other tutorials from other places is the amount of blurb and technical smoke and mirrors, I find the straight talking get to it approach far better and easier to understand,definitely subscribing to you,thanks Ali.

I tried this the other day and it works well, bye bye slice hello straight down the middle!

I like it.

Will definitely be trying this. At the range today with driver set up just inside my left foot, huge slices off to the right. Or catching the ball with the face closed and going low left. This sounds like the answer.

OMG I totally do this

Going to give that a go next time out. I think I will try small incremental changes until I find the sweet spot of mostly straight with a slight draw. I recently changed to putting the ball forward to line up only just inside left toe because I was tending to go left. I have been greeting great launch but now some massive swings to right when it does go wrong. I think I may have over done it with the ball position forward.

Definitely have to try this next time I’m on the range

Nice lesson

Thanks. I tried ball back some time back and got straight shots then forgot setup as it came from trying different things. This week I tried all remedies except ball back and none fixed weak fade & big slices. I'm definitely putting ball back tomorrow as my 3W & all other clubs are 1 or 2 balls back then recommended by snake oil traders & I hit straight or draw on command except with driver

I tried moving my ball position and it had immediate effect!!! My slice turned into a straighter shot!! Amazing, thank you!!

A small "adjustment" that made a huge improvement! Thank you!

Interesting Tip, will try on the driving range asap

I certainly will try that tip. When I played a lot 10-15 years ago and was around an 8 handicap I teed off with 2 and 3 irons. More mental but had no confidence in the Driver. Now at 67 I’m ready to play more and need a driver to get that distance back

It works. I moved the ball towards the middle of my stance. No pulls, no slices. Striking the ball with my driver was more solid and the ball flight was down the middle.

simple as that ........perfect

Reminds me of a recent lesson actually :-))

Ali Taylor

It looks so simple . Can it just be so ! Off now to try this out

great stuff! would you say Ali moving the ball back creates more compression too? = distance?

love the video but have question I have turned down my loft by degree should I turn it bag since I might not be hitting up as much

I moved the ball of my left toe more forward. I had the ball to far back and sliced everything. Now I hit a draw with the ball further forward. A funny game this golf.

I've been blessed hitting a very straight ball. My driver's problem is when I come down from the top, I sometimes hit a straight ball, very low, then hooks really bad...I have by practicing, on the way down, keeping my hands open moving towards the right, I blast it very straight, and 290-315..Only if i could putt 😃

Hi , I notice throughout your videos you change from an orange t peg to a pink one, these are obviously different heights so is there a reason behind this. Your tuition has brought my handicap down by quite a way so thank you and keep up the great work

Hi Ali great video this is so true for a draw. Dont have to flip hands at impact. For a draw where should I put ball if I have a bit of an open stance with left foot back a little of right foot at adress. Any ideas of videos i can watch an give a thumbs up too.

Nice how Ali so logically linked together the inside-out (left-to-right) first half of the swing, but then how the second half being right-to-left causes the slice during the brief upswing to the teed-up ball. The logical fix is to set up the ball nearer your nose, and further away from your left toe. Setting up the ball all the way forward to your left toe is too far, if you are slicing.But then, should not the ball be teed up a bit lower, when the ball is move from left toe toward nose. Thanks.

I tried this today for a different reason. I was hoping that bringing the ball back towards center a few inches, that it would eliminate pop up drives. My thinking is that with the ball positioned in front of my left heal, I was getting too much upswing on the ball. For the most part it worked and I hit a few lower trajectory bombs. But I am still slicing a bit from time to time. Next time out I will try another inch back and see how that works.

This RRRRRRRRREAAAAAAALLLYY doesn't get talked about enough these days

It would be helpful if you used alignment sticks to show exactly the ball position from a face on view so we could see how far from the left heel you moved the ball to

If I have the ball positioned too far forward in my stance, my drives start left and hook from there because the club is starting to move left by then and the face is closed relative to that path. If the face is open relative to that path, then I will see the ball start left and then slice, or if the face is square, it's just a straight pull to the left.

I just thought about thisto help my driver. I hit my 3 wood straight and slice the driver. The ball position was something that jumped out. Will try to pull the ball back for driver this year.

Ali, what would be the impact of having your driver cut down to a 3or 4 iron length?

Ball too far forward can promote pull hooks as well. Correct ball position while keeping head behind ball at impact is the ticket

Just watched this video and would like to go hit the range but it will have to wait until morning! I have a 20 yard or so fade so I play the left side of the fairway or even a little more left. If this works I will be amazed by how simple this is without trying to teach me a new swing.

I shoot a 85 after adjusting my ball position. I can’t believe it worked!

To the range to apply instruction asap

Only played 7 rounds in my life and today I would been 2 under par that’s until I lost 15 balls and had to rehit or hit a drop because my slice is literally 80 yards or so only on driver. Iron game and chipping is so natural but I bout broke my driver in half today I was so mad. I refrained from it because I can’t afford that but man if I had one more hole the driver was going in the woods

Question: Would the ball be starting right or left of the target in this case? Seems like it would be to the left, just like with an over the top swing.

Sounds a great tip ,I’ll be trying this tomorrow,do you always use an orange tee with the driver? .

Moving the ball back in your stance forces you to hit down with your Driver and lost of distance or more distance?

I’m a beginner beginner. Like played 7 rounds in my life. Slice my driver every time and usually 3 wood. Realized today I put 3 wood in my stance where I normally would and iron and crushed it. Didn’t realize this til I watched this driver I’ve done everything because I practice every day slice got even worse because watching vids about put ball on inside of left foot. I always practice swing and watch my arch I think I need a foot width to a foot and half width between. I still hit driver 220 or so with slice but if I hit it straight it’s 260 with no real try. I know I have swing speed it’s natural from playing baseball forever and I’ve hit some baseballs sub 400 feet. All I have to do is find out what makes me slice and I’ll be hitting par 5 in 2 on the regular at my local course. I’ve done it twice and even over shot it in 2 once

With the ball a little further back in the stance will adding a degree or 2 on the driver hosel help?

Hi everyone

Where does the open/close club fcae come into play? I can see your point on the swing circle and a forward ball position making us hit to the left, but... Just changing the ball position doesn’t change the club face, does it? If anything the club face should be more open if we hit the ball earlier in the swing, right?

2:50 LIGHTBULB ON moment.

Playing off 7 and looking for Cat1 golf. Honing the driver and 3 wood over the winter. Aiming to hit more fairways. I’m definitely guilty of teeing up too far forward and I’ll try this tomorrow in a betterball match. Thanks

Was going mad trying to figure out why my irons were great but still a big fade or nasty slice with the driver despite everything feeling good. This was the missing ingredient

Have no idea why, but when I move it more forward, I pull hook it. When I put it mid-stance, I knock it straight and far. Strange.

I hit too far up on it anyway. If I do hit it straight it’s also straight up in the air goes about 160-170 looks nice until I see it land lol

That’s what’s ruining my game. My handicap is tumbling, but the Sliced Driver is killing me. Will try tomorrow at the Driving range

Yesterday I experienced the 'ideal conditions' to create a slice 😡 from out of nowhere...

I try this backward repositioning, it has reverse effect, then I try move the ball more forward, walaahhh... There she goes..... ⛳

So having a scratch golf swing doesn't have anything to do with it?

So weird how the backspin was cut in half tho when you moved it back in your stance... which it should be the opposite...

What about just moving your bach foot, so that your stance is more closed.....
