@Chip_57 4 года назад

Simple no nonsense advice. Not too much to think about. Absolutely right about playing with the fade setup, it just encourages more slice. Thanks Dave.

@johnkirkham3195 2 года назад

This totally changed my driving I was slicing massively once I squared everything up I hit some great straight drives mostly around 200 yards longest 230 considering the course was boggy with no carry I was more than happy with cheers golf mates

@wesleyguan6833 3 года назад

By far the most effective tips for slicers! Gonna try it tmrw! Thanks

All Dave’s videos so far in the series,have given simple tips to take to the range and on to the course thanks Dave

@markwheeler4245 2 года назад

I went with a mate to driving range yesterday I haven’t played golf in many years I hit with his driver about 165 to 185 yards but was bending so much to the right I swapped to his 5 iron and was hitting nice straight shots but only 125-135 yards so I preferred losing distance for accuracy personally but I’d like to hit longer and straighter obviously if I decide to take up the sport and buy a few cheap clubs just to start me off so hopefully videos help :)

@Ant-kd4mc 4 года назад

Dave should have his own channel. Golf basics. I watch so many others they just confuse me and over complicate things. He explains in a easy way and you think yeah that’s easy.

@fat-shotgolf2937 4 года назад

Great tips Dave. You ARE the man! I have been slicing my driver recently.

@DanBird 4 года назад

These tips from Dave are gold.

@charlesharrison6291 4 года назад

Excellent video as always. I will use the alignment sticks the next time I practice driving. Your point about keeping it simple is one I’ll use, we all try and smash the driver as hard as we can. Your point about working on technique is one I’ll use because if the basics are not right forget about practicing.

@PatrickMclaughlinRock 4 года назад

Great advice Dave 👍 I've given this advice to many but they just can't commit on the course, alright in a driving range atmosphere but once that left to right wind hits them on the 1st tee they automatically aim left again, perhaps I could tell them about tucking the right elbow in next time 👍

@jkm1945 4 года назад

Dave, you make it sound so easy to do. But...I've taken to keeping the driver in the bag and using a four-iron on the tee. I don't hit the ball 200+ yards but it usually goes straight and in the middle of the fairway.

@nathanferguson9990 4 года назад

Cheers again Dave. Looking forward to watching this lesson

@justmythought1586 4 года назад

One lesson I would like to see that is rarely talked about, is the pull to the left whethere it be with a driver or even a wedge. I can hit a nice little draw but it goes to the left. Some days it just won't go away. Ouch!

@tylergraham1750 2 года назад

this one here^ my drive almost always draws left, especially when i dont want it too

@richardc6932 4 года назад

I like the training sticks for alignment. They show me that I am always aiming left with my feet. Together with a tension free grip in hands and arms and allowing my left heel to move on my backswing has improved my score. Great idea.👍

@robertarthur2482 4 года назад

You need to have a chat with Liam about this technique.

@JC-xy7pb 4 года назад

He just needs to keep his hands down 🤪😜

@granthodges9860 4 года назад

J C yes he says to himself before each shot to keep his hands down but every time you see him raise his hands out of habit. He needs to watch his own videos and he’ll soon see for himself. I’m sure Joe or Liam would see this when they’re editing. Mind you it’s easier said than done when it’s been a long term habit.

@GolfMates 4 года назад

@@granthodges9860 grant remember before i take a shot i got to think is joe in the right place is ebay close enough so the mic dont cut out is the next group of golfers up are arse oh yes hit the bal.

@bmach420 3 года назад

@larrycordill3559 3 года назад

I see that Mr. Barlow has taught Dave everything he knows about the swing. Dave may be his best student.

@jeffto23ify 4 года назад

Brilliant partner great tips

@bobmac004 10 месяцев назад

The reason you slice is because you throw at the top and come out to in with an open clubface. The easiest way to fix this is to strengthen the grip so the clubface is square to the out to in swingpath. That will of course cause you to hit it straight left. After a few straight pulls left on the range, aim RIGHT. That will square up your swingpath and with the improved grip square up ball flight. Yes, you are still hitting a pull but because you aim right, the pull goes straight. The beaty of this, is you make just 2 changes at set up...1. aim right...2. Tweak the grip. Then let the swing go where it wants to go...straight.

@alecshaw3537 2 года назад

@GolfingMalky 4 года назад

Great, simple to understand tips again - brilliant vlog Cheers from #500

@mixter7x7 2 года назад

There are 2 very basic and simple reasons you hit a slice. 1 - Your club face is open at impact. Swinging too hard - hands in front of club shaft are the primary causes. You must close the club face or you’ll slice every time. 2- ball position in your swing. If your ball is too far forward in your swing - your club is crossing the ball at impact from outside - to - inside creating right spin for right handers. You must position the ball where your club is not advancing or retreating across the face in your swing radius.

@sloth8122 4 года назад

You make it look to easy Dave. I’ll give it a go 2pm today, hopefully the slice doesn’t kick in while I’m aiming straight (fore right)😡

@davidcavon637 4 года назад

Do those who hit this , yay! But I pull my trail leg and foot back, hit from hi in to hi out, have the face as square as possible...and hit a huge banana slice! Would certainly like to hit straight, but am sure it’s it’s not going to happen!

@guyhall6592 6 месяцев назад

Super Dave, I’ve saved, like ALL the others. I’ll watch tonight, busy cooking for sports banquet (150 peeps) 🙏🏻😎🙏🏻

@PooterBill 4 года назад

I haven’t watched this yet but I bet he talks about the face being square and striking the ball in the middle of the face. Let’s watch

@alantrowsdale5871 3 года назад

Hi Liam, watch this prog nearly every day brilliant, some months ago yourself and Mr Barlow were wearing gps watchers I believe the v3 ,if that's right how good are they for the price ,as I'm looking to buy one ,have never had one ,would appreciate your views please ,many thanks A Trowsdale.

@pikeevans8559 4 года назад

You say off your toe...but when you are done fidgeting around getting set...the ball is actually just inside your foot...more aligned with the heel than the toe. Of course the camera was at a different angle when you actually hit the shot. So which is it?

@hornmanjeff 4 года назад

I had the same question!!!!

@Watchlover371 3 года назад

It’s not massively crucial it’s just so you are hitting up on the ball

@jimbeaver27 4 года назад

I finally cured my slice and it was a combo of things that allow me to hit long straight drives. I move my right foot back. I play the ball back. And I play the ball further from me so I have to lean to it. As well, I move my right hand clockwise on the grip. It works!

@georgemajor9589 4 года назад

Jim Davis exactly what I changed mate.... worked a treat for me.... gained at least 20 metres, and stopped dreading my driver tee shots.... 👍🏻👍🏻

@elprimo8208 2 года назад

Like a week ago I was hitting 320+ yards and slicing was my problem, now my ball is nose diving and going 80 yards and even when I hit it center face. No idea what changed please help!

@DASH1ful 3 года назад

the method that you are teaching is the same method that tommy armour taught in his book, back in the fifties. you may find, with modern day equipment, that it will work better if you tee the ball up high, address the ball with the club directly behind the ball- instead of grounding it- and with your left eye directly over the ball- and the left side of your head more in line with the ball. and, then, allow yourself to hit the ball with a descending blow. i don't say a player should hit down on the ball; but the later a player is, on the ball, the more they will need to apply force to the left side of the shaft with their left hand- the application of force to the right the side of the shaft, with the left hand, will then become automatic- and, the more a player can do this the more they will be able to release thru with their right hand.

@lesleywillis6177 3 года назад

I’m sorry but the first problem is leaving the club face wide open, leading to a high right slice. This leads to aiming evermore left and coming over the top. Sorting alignment and club direction will do nothing until the first problem is addressed.

@joeperez3520 4 года назад

Brilliant, Dave. My instructor had me doing this same headcover drill the last time I saw him a few weeks ago. He even had me take my address position, then took an alignment stick and placed it on TOP of my trail elbow, and UNDERNEATH the lead elbow, to get me feeling what it should feel like having that right elbow lower than the left.

@geoopa 2 года назад

I have to strongly disagree, Aiming left if you are a consistent slicer does not mean you will slice further right! Why would you say that. Absolute bullshit.

@robertbloomfield8154 Год назад

decent .... are you in the knock are you in the knockouts at CCHGC....... I HOPE NOT

@stuartholmes6262 4 года назад

@Hacker-xe8yv 4 года назад

Still remains, miss the sweet spot and the ball won't go as far. Hit the sweet spot! Like telling someone with a cold to "just stop coughing".

@shyamvijay8985 3 года назад

If you hit it on the up won't you slice it even more? The club will go left as it goes up. This is why I feel high tees and oversize heads have made people slice even more than before

@robertday7340 4 года назад

Liam needs the foot line up drill, his feet point in every direction but straight and wonders why his drives don’t go straight

@williammills8953 3 года назад

So aiming with the inside of the left foot/leg. Ball in front. That will push the ball up in the air. I get it now.

Struggled with the driver yesterday so I'll work on these tips. Bogeys and doubles all day, then sacked it off on the last hole and used the 5 wood. Made a birdie. But, I don't want to give up on the driver just yet.
