Turn Your Slice Into a Draw | FlightScope 

These tips fixed my 10-year-long driver slice in less than 3 minutes on the range-and the adjustments were easy to bring to the course. Single biggest change to my golf game ever. Added 40+ yards to my drive and dropped my score dramatically by getting back in the right fairway. THANK YOU CLAY!

There are so many videos on how to play better. This guy just has a way about him that makes his videos much more enjoyable to watch. Keep up the great job.

Thanks Clay, that is one really great video, been struggling to control my fade for so long, now I understand what I have to do; brilliant, tahnk you so much!

I've been getting progressively more hung up about my driving and it's spoilt my enjoyment of this wonderful game. I've had serious issues coming over the top and across the line and I've watched and practised a dozen YT videos. Having just spent an hour at the range to try out your instruction, I found it clear, understandable and hugely implementable. I'm now consistently hitting within half a fairway width and clearing the 200 yard marker and I'm delighted. I've no doubt that once I'm hooked up with this new method, I will be running the ball out to the 250+ distance, more than enough to bring all holes within regulation. Thx buddy, thx very much.👍

Watching this video has resulted in the single biggest change to my golf game. No more slices and heaps of distance. Just Brilliant!! Thanks Clay.

Oh man, I've been fighting this slice for the last two weeks. This is EXACTLY the video I needed to see. Thanks so much Clay!

Finally, a video showing the proper set up, ie. slightly closing the shoulders vs. tilting to the right. This makes all of the difference. When I "tilt" to the right, I tend to push the ball to the right. Thank you for this tip.

This worked a treat! Consistent draw for the first time in 20 years!

This is the first video out of the hundreds I have watched that I have taken to the range and I actually hit the ball dead straight. The ball didnt draw but it went straight instead of sliced! Thanks Clay this video was awesome!

I hope you know just how much you help folks out! By watching and practicing what you teach I have drastically improved my golf game from where it was. Thank you!

You have the best and most detailed videos on RU-vid. I have taken a long break from playing but have just recently started again, I was never a great player but I would say I was at least a decent ball striker when I used to play. The decade long break I took is virtually forcing me to learn from the ground up. I unfortunately can't afford to pay for coaching etc.. but this single video has pretty much completely addressed my driving issues. I have a good swing speed and typically make good contact but am plagued by big fades and border line slices that I can't accurately judge. The way you broke down the swing and showed how everything interacts and the way to correct these issues was pretty much perfect. I'm not to sure you could do a better job without being there in person. Thank you for this post! A lot of your other videos have been very helpful as well. I just wanted to genuinely say thank you

So many videos with so called advice how to stop the slice. I have tried and spent lots of money on lessons on trying to stop the slice with driver. Now after taking into some of the advice in this video, I am hitting driver straighter. It's the right foot being back and open and forearm change i feel has helped me lots. Thank you.

watched this video last night, and hit my first draws at the range today. This video did it. Much appreciated.

This video was fantastic. Loved how you actually talked about body position and didn't just tell us "you have to hit inside out" without explaining how we to actually do it. Can't say I developed the draw like you showed, but it definitely got rid of my wicked slice with the driver. I now have a gentle fade. I'll keep working at it. I just recently started to learn golf (2 months) so everything is still new to me.

Looked a half dozen videos trying to get rid of slice/heavy fade. This one finally did it for me! Went from 175-210 yds into the right side trees, to constant 250 yds plus straight drive with a light draw. Thank you Clay you took off 10 plus strokes off 18!

Sometimes struggle with a slice but have never been able to hit a draw with my driver (I can with irons). After watching this I went out today and played 9 holes and hit draws with my driver. The shift of the hip more to the target and closed did the trick - this is the best video out there to hit a draw, thanks for taking the time to post this.

FEEDBACK: Extremely helpful!!!! 60 years old, single handicap. The last two/three years the driver has been fading. I have to focus on my irons and metals to avoid too much draw. Anyway...........lowing the right arm really did the trick. I didn't see much difference with pointing the right foot outward, but setting up with all three confirms a draw. Thanks. I swung easy to get the principals down first, but didn't lose any distance. Slowly increase the swing speed now. Taking my time on that.

I am a single handicap coming back to the game, and half of this I “remembered”. But this is the icing on the cake, now I know again, thank you.

Thank you. This video helped me so much. I’ve always had good club head speed but my driver distance was never the same in comparison to my iron distances. I could always hit farther than my friends with irons but not longer with my driver. I always fought a big slice. Over the last 4 months I’ve hit longer, straighter drives and scoring better than I ever have. I’ve taken lessons from PGA pros but your video was better and easier to understand that any in person lesson I’ve had. Thank you.

I watched this video this morning then went to the simulator. I've been a fader off the tee for 40 years, that changed after just a few minutes of trying this technique. Looking forward to more practice and becoming a draw hitter. Thanks Clay.

Fantastic. I’ve done so many things to fix my push slice and this seems to be the fix no one has shown me not even my teacher. Watched this video this morning and went to the range this afternoon. Hit 80% of my drives dead straight. No draw but I’ll take straight every day! Plan on working on this more but so far it could be the answer I have been searching for. Thanks!!!

BOOM! At 15 minutes in, everything clicked. Tried these three things on the course this last week, must have added about 20-30yds due to better timing, a nice draw, a higher ball flight by lofting up 1’ and my good ‘uns are really good and my bad ‘ins are not that bad at all. Your instruction is easily to follow, easy to apply and it works (for me anyway) looking forward to the qualifiers coming on in March.

Clay, you've saved my game, and LOTS of embarrassment in front of friends and co workers. I used to slice into the neighboring fairways and had no power. Now I can keep up and out drive my buddies that are regular (I'd call good) players. Thank you sir!

This stuff is gold! Great to have an instructor who can demonstrate the theory.

I’m a fader if the driver. I watched this video several times and took it to the course. Hit my drives so beautiful down the middle with a little draw. Thanks for the instructional video.

Clay, I came across your videos yesterday. I have had a shanking problem for a couple of years...yes, years. I have averaged two shanks per round even though I have had lessons from a pro and watched many videos. Last night I watched two of your videos: the one on shanking and Turn your slice into a draw. I had only 20 minutes to practice right before the round today. Something clicked between me and your videos. I had NO shanks today and hit a draw over half the time. The really important thing was that I used impact paper in the short time I had. It immediately told me I was not close to shanking. That gave me confidence. That is the most important thing when you have the shank disease. I knew that concentrating on turning my hips to the left would stop my shanks. What a great feeling. THANK YOU CLAY!! Dave S.

I watched this video yesterday and played 18 last night, this completely changed my game, I still have work to do to perfect it but I had my best and most enjoyable game to date.Tnx for for the great advice!

I have watches so many golf videos trying to help. This video is without a doubt the best video I have seen to date to help you understand and obtain an in to out swing path. Thank you thank you thank you.

Appreciate you taking into great detail a problem that most weekend golfers struggle with. I have a problem with not a huge slice but that last minute fade that still takes away distance and I believe these points you’ve brought up will be excellent for improvement. Thank you!

Great video - will incorporate these tips asap. Nothing worse than hitting a powerful drive in the sweet spot and having it tail hard right.. robbing distance

Superb video, I was definitely guilty of aligning my feet right but leaving my body square/open. Finally hitting solid draws the driver. Thanks for sharing.

Great instruction. Quick range session got me hitting longer straighter off the tee and confidence on course to hit my driver and not loose it right all day! Thanks Clay!

This one! So I had taken some years off, came back and had that natural swing still in play...but now I was cutting the ball and suffering elbow pain that I never did before. I was a heavy draw hitter prior to the break in play. Before chucking it up to simple aging, I figured cuts and elbow were linked and this video proved it. Yup...I was swiping across the ball, hitting it on the heel and no matter how shallow I came down, it got worse. Couldn't wait to hit the range and incorporate these points and as soon as I did, it felt just like old times. As for ball flight, there it was, right back on line, crushed over the back berm of the range. Now I'm just tuning the wrist timing for those specialty shots. Thank you Clay, this was exactly the lesson I needed!!! Subscribed and loving the channel.

Clay, wanted to check in and say I shot the best round of my life today simply because I implemented the things you’ve demonstrated and I struggled with it at first but after hitting some balls yesterday I took what I toned in to the swing and it added 20+ yards on my drive. I hit the ball straight or a slight draw every time and I even had new drive record @ 325 which was a great feeling for me knowing that this will definitely add the right direction to the ball because even a slight slice takes away yardage and today I saw just how significant the extra 20 yards is. Thank you again man keep up the great work.

These tips having completely changed my golf game. I’ve been struggling for YEARS. you sir are amazing and I greatly appreciate you putting up the video.

I just started to get back into playing golf after a 10 year hiatus....This guy's videos improved my slice dramatically within several weeks. I actually started to draw the ball with control. Clay's videos got my confidence and ability back on track..His presentation of ideas are so well articulated. You are awesome Clay. Thank you!!!

Thinking I need to watch this again. Tried this yesterday on the back nine. Front nine hit 3/7 fairways on driving holes (4 of 7 missed right by about 10 yards). Back nine missed all 7 fairways on driving holes to the right (by about 35 yards)! This method, at least the way I attempted to implement it, created a huge slice for me!

Wow I have been watching golf videos for years now but I have to say this is the most in depth and well done lesson I have come across yet. Earned a sub, and thank you very much for the help

I’ve watched tons of RU-vid videos and yours are so simple and I can use them right away.

Wow Clay. It worked!!! With the foot spray, I realized I was hitting with the heal mostly. Without the visual proof, I was sure I was hitting middle or toe. (I’m right handed) Practiced the lean right, left shoulder up. Practiced strong grip. Lastly, the other weird counter intuitive part, open stance to the right. Voila! Mostly baby hook drives. Will keep working on it. Amazing!

I have struggled with a slice for my entire golf life. There were moments when it went away, but the consistent issue for me has always been slicing a golf ball with my driver (even with some lessons & countless 'tips' from friends & family who are single handicap golfers). However, after watching this video on Friday & being able to hit a few balls today I noticed a huge difference. I played 12 holes (it rained) & while hitting a driver on 8 of them I didn't slice a single ball. There are certainly some kinks that need to be worked out, but this video has made a huge impact already: my drives were drawing. My irons were drawing (instead of the typical high fade). On the last hole (468 yd par 5) I hit a lovely drive that started right edge of the fairway & drew to the center eventually rolling out to about 15-20 yards behind the 150 yd marker while I typically hit drives in the 225-250 yard range. Clay, thank you! I can't say it enough. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'm looking forward to playing again soon to see the continued progress, but will sleep well tonight knowing I didn't slice a single ball today!

I'm a little late to the game on this video but WOW incredible, watched it last night and went out to the course today and unbelievably my slice is almost completely gone. You sir are a saint and a scholar you have a new subscriber

These changes with the feet , hips and grip , have help me. Thanks Clay

My man... Back in my high school days I had a draw. Getting back in the game and suddenly I have a fade and often a terrible slice. This fixed it immediately. Thanks so much!

Thank you, I learned more. I love this guy..

Absolutely brilliant video... literally just came back from my driving range, and with these tips I’ve just crushed some of the longest draws Ive ever done... all makes sense now... so I have to thank you for the magic you’ve exposed, you wizard lol 👍🏼

keep up the good work. Watch your videos all the time. Really helped me become a better golfer...

Wow, I just stumbled onto this by accident and boy am I glad I did! These videos are awesome! Thank you Clay!

Great tip from a great young coach...Clay I loved your tip on looking at the angle of the feet and body....as an Instructor as well....I can tell you how important this can be for some!

Always good info Clay. Like how you show that you do not have to use a flight monitor to gauge ball flight.

I've never invested 23 minutes into any one golf improvement video ... until now. I thought I'd put away my clubs for the winter but I can't wait to try these tips. I may pull them out now and not wait until March.

Clay Ballard is simply the best golf instructor.

Hey Clay. Another fantastic bit of info. Been trying this for the past week. Started with quite a lot of shots going out to the right but eventually started to see the ball drawing back onto line. Finally all came together today down the range and I was absolutely killing it and felt like I could hit the ball as hard as I liked confident in the knowledge that my ball would come back on line. Its nice to hit the back of the range. Not done that before. The ball seemed to go best for me when I felt like I was rotating my hip and and letting my shoulders and back pull towards the ball. Thanks Mate

I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm a trucker, so practice is difficult and not nearly as often as I would like. But I have a charity tournament to attend in a week, so I'll be rewatching your videos, and trying a new technique right off the tee box haha.

Fantastic video. Great teaching style and clear explanations. Keep up the good work!

Great video and instruction. Will the corrections described for the driver also work with the long irons . I can draw shots with wedges thru 7 iron but fade to slice with 6 thru 3 irons. Appreciate all the great instructional videos. Thanks .

You described my slice set up to a "T" no pun intended. I have lost tons of distance due to the very things you showed in this video....... Thanks for easing my mind about my age!

awesome vid I finally fixed my slice by watching this video

Best lesson ever, It really change my Game, consistent drivers and more distance on irons

You have a new subscriber. I've been on RU-vid watching tips to help fix my slice then transferring that to the range. Looking forward to trying this on the range next time.

By far the best channel for me. I played basketball while younger and was a good shooter. So I know the importance of fundamentals. I am new to golf at middle age and I can’t rid my slice. I slice 90 precent of the. Insanely frustrating, FRUSTRATING! I play other clubs decent for a new player and I almost feel the urge to drop my driver from my bag. The way you explain things works for me in this video. I know what needs corrected

you do a excellent job explaining everything. I am taking my notes to the range

I've practiced 2000 driver shot and make micro adjustments here and there and I feel like I finally got my swing figured out, I was happy that the slice is gone. Then this video poped up lol, and I see i've been figure things out exactly like the video hahaha. Now I need consistancy! even though the slice is gone but they creep back out here and their if I'm not careful.

Thanks Clay, I've followed your instructions, now my every shot is a draw, even my 3 wood, used to slice all the time. Thanks very much.

Love this mans practical advice and overall explanations on the do’s and don’ts

For no other reason than the tip on using the foot spay to help mark your club face I liked this video. The tips on address and grip, and self evaluation (without a radar) are good as well. Something to practice!

Can’t express enough how much this video helped me 1) Understand why I continued to slice and loose distance 2)Make 3 simple adjustments to crush my drives. Clay...thank you! I’ll be looking to watch other videos of yours as well.

took these drills to the range yesterday, goodbye my slice, thankyou Clay!

Excellent video and a very well explanation. Keep it up and keep sending those videos.

This guy's information is outstanding. In a flooded market he a still stands out

Well explained in all facets and looking. forward to putting it into practice. Without question my setup was classic towards the weak slice anytime i took the three wood or driver out of the bag.

For me it's what you said about rapping the face of the golf club on the out side of the golf ball that works for me ,not many people talk about the out side of the golf ball to hit a draw . Thanks for confiming it for me .

I only tried the grip change so far but I have added 20 to 30 yards to my drives and fairway shots plus they are much straighter...Thank you Thank you!

Great video ,i have all the bad shots you have showed in this video its good to know what i maybe doing wrong,and hopefully a way to get back to single figures

this has to be the best anti slice vlog I've seen , ty clay superb 👍👍

Clay does great easy to understand lessons!

Amazing!!!!! Fixed my slice and I’m driving 250-300 yards. Thank you!!!!!!!

Taking this to the range tonight! This and the spine tilt consistency! Thanks for the content.

Outstanding content and extremely well done here. thanks. Turning over the club is always the hardest part. Years and years of baseball and hockey have engrained non-golf habits for guys like me. you could do a video on it. Golf swing for baseball players. Love your vids. This one is a classic. Thanks.

Great tips Clay….Thanks for sharing.

Great video Clay!! Thanks to you I am crushing my driver. No more slice!

GREAT VIDEO, TRYING THIS AND HELPING REDUCE THE SLICE, THANKS

Haven't even watched this full video yet and know its going to be handy. I hit the ball 250 yards but need to aim way left to bring it back onto the fairway

I have NEVER seen a GOLF Help video this GOOD ever ever ever. I hope you make $Millions in sponsors and ad revenue. You could probably sell VCR's, Cassettes and 8-track Players door-2-Door and be a $millionaire. Something about your delivery as the 'Hey man, I'm your friend and I want to help you man.' Fantastic!

Holee crap. I haven't hit a draw in a couple years. After following this I started hitting draws like I did when I was younger. THANKS!!! Feakin golf smfh. Thanks again lol.

The best driver video ever . You made it so easy to understand and implement !!

Can’t wait to go out and try everything you’ve said it makes complete sense!

Haven't been able to keep a driver in the fairway since taking the game up again after 25 years. So I just used irons. Took this advice and hit the fairway with my driver 7 of 8 times today!

Awesome advice clay will take this to driving range and work on it my bad drive is a slice so this will hopefully cure it thanks.

Did this today. Just the arm and right foot tip did it for me. Thanks!

Tennis AND Golf?? I've been watching your tennis videos for a couple of months, and think that you may describe how to properly hit the tennis strokes better than anyone I've listened to in my 40+ years of playing tennis. I've been working on changing my forehand to really get the lag/snap, and with the years of hitting this forehand without the proper technique, its really been a challenge, even while working with teaching pros. I'm making more progress after watching your videos, than ever before. Having just retired, I'm picking up golf in addition to tennis, and stumbled on to this golf video, and find you again explaining the techniques in a very understandable manner. Your obviously a heck of an athlete to have mastered both of these sports to the level that you can articulate the instruction in a way that is very understandable.

Clay doesn't provide good videos, he gives Great instructional videos! Thank you

THank you for your video. I have improved my drive thanks for your videos.

Hey Clay, I do not mean to be too critical about what you have to say about curing a slice, However in my last 65 years of playing the game, I have realized that the most common reason for the big slice , we have all experienced from time to time is, as we all try harder and harder to take the club head inside on the way back and strike the ball with an inside to out path, we unknowingly start the downswing, with a lateral movement toward the target, that opens the club face and remains open throughout the swing no matter how much we try to close the club face on the way down. it is almost impossible to role your wrists through a shot in a fraction of a second, with lateral movement toward the target.

Just got back into golf last year after about 10 years of not playing. Definitely have a nasty slice on my drives. I'm looking forward to some warmer weather here in Michigan to hit the range and try these techniques out. Thanks for the video!

best video i've seen on correcting the slice

Fighting my way through ALL of your videos. Amazing. Every time I go to the range I can see an improvement. Great stuff. Big Thanks from Germany.

You nailed it in your intro, really appreciate your videos!

Excellent video and very easy to follow. Thank you for the tips! Enjoy very much.

extreme slice, that's my power cut shot
