You can also be a good golfer and still have a swing with “problems”. Watch “The Strangest Swings in All of Golf” video on YouTube.

Actually, I think they are really good tips for any level of golfer. Having less tension & making smaller swings without a ball can both help address the “problem” of an open club face. I also know numerous professional tournament players that employ strong grips to help straighten out their ball flight. As for custom club-fitting, much like fingerprints, we all have our own unique swings. Professionals grind & bend their clubs to their liking…it’s only smart for amateurs to do the same.

Warning these tips are ridiculas for beginner golfers, Its better to fix the problem rather than buying equipment that does that for you, then what happens if you actually improve and become a good golfer? Your left with Clubs that will give you a hook, What an idiot!
Tuning your club to …
Tuning your club to your swing is a decent temporary fix. But for long term, I would much rather tune my swing. Right now I have to place my driver’s head on the far side of the ball, and the face parallel to the ground to correct for my slice. That is some severe closure on the club. I have been watching many videos to fix this issue, and think I have found one. I hope it’s just in my grip and release. We’ll see next course.

definitely hear what ur saying. thing is d same pro that might use a strong grip for one shot will be able to use a weak grip for d nxt if he so wishes as his swing plane will be level but with 90% of golfers with a slice if they strengthen their grip and still have the out to in swing plane, it will be a solution but not d best solution
I understand where …
I understand where you are coming from…but who is to say that a stronger grip is a “wrong” grip? I know numerous touring professionals who have very strong grips and/or who make grip/clubface adjustments to change their ball flight. While these may not be the best solutions for everyone, they are certainly both very valid for some…and within the boundaries of the rules for all.

..as another example, one time I flew to visit a family member & I had to borrow some clubs. The lie angles were flatter than my personal clubs & I was hitting cuts on the first couple holes. So for the rest of the day, I just closed the club in a little at address & made my normal swing.
I agree with you to …
I agree with you to a certain extent, but I think it just depends on the situation. If you have someone who only plays a few times a year & isn’t willing or doesn’t have time to practice, this can be a good option for minimizing slices.
“Starting out with …
“Starting out with a more closed club face.” I heard it is more important to fix your swing rather than adjusting your clubs to your swing???
This is what i have …
This is what i have done as well because of my natural swing for baseball. My hips were early and my hands were getting “stuck” because of my early firing hips forcing me to slice. But like cgstube i started focusing on trying to swing from the inside out and almost like you are going to hit a baseball to right field. It is dirrerent at first but learning to swing from the inside out has so much to do with squaring up through impact.

Thanks for sharing what has worked for you!
Great info. I think …
Great info. I think it’s also important to mention one other thing that really helped me cure my slice. I found that I had a lot of tension and was trying to over-rotate and open up in an effort to “get around” on the ball quicker. This, combined with too steep a backswing, was causing me to hit outside-in on the ball. Even with a square club face this will also cause a slice. I found focusing on pushing inside out with my swing, really helped to get around properly and even draw the ball.
if you close the …
if you close the club before you hit. on you downstroke your stance will have change a bit and it should make the club straight. thats what i think of every time i go to hit and it always works for me
I guess not …
I guess not everyone has the desire or makes the time to undergo swing changes. If it helps that person who rarely plays to hit a bit better, then why not take advantage of the technology as long as it’s legal. And even if it’s illegal, as long as it’s not in a tournament or used in a malicious way (hustling, bragging, etc), I don’t see anything wrong with it if it helps the person enjoy themselves more. I’m not saying I disagree with you, just making a case for the other side. :-p
Professionals …
Professionals already have an established swing path, and fine tuned mechanics. I totally agree w/ Phil’s 2 driver scenario, and the other customizations you mention. However, a 20+ handicap that comes over the top of the ball is going to benefit first by establishing inside “path”, rather than the quick, usually temporary, fix of a draw bias driver. Lessons first, then equipment, then the tour maybe, jk. :p
This also umes …
This also umes that there is one correct swing (or ball flight) for everyone, which I don’t think is the case. There are certainly swings that are more popular and conventionally taught, but there are many different swing styles that have merit and get the job done. :-p
Keep in mind that …
Keep in mind that many professionals have equipment to “correct” their swings, though. Ryo Ishikawa has a custom built driver for his swing. Tiger has been known to use non-production balls designed to fit only his game. Mickelson has clubs built to be draw and fade-biased. Lots of other pros also bend, grind, tweak, etc their clubs. If individualized equipment is such an important remedy to a professional’s game, wouldn’t amateurs be smart to do the same?
I’m not sure I …
I’m not sure I agree with buying a club to correct “incorrect” ball flight path(hook/slice). If someone is already swinging incorrectly, buying something to remedy that is not the answer, IMHO. I agree with slowing down the swing, watching swing path and getting the feel of correct ‘approach’ and ‘release’. The best thing I ever did, hands down, was have my swing video taped both front and down the line.
If it’s only …
If it’s only happening with certain clubs, I would advise you to visit a custom club fitter to have your lie angles checked. Those particular irons may need to be bent more upright – which would help straighten out your ball flight.

I am going to try this, i shoot around a 52 in 9 holes(sophmore in hs) and this is with now iron shots. My Sw is fine but my PW, 8 and 6 iron SLICE LIKE . I’ll try it hope it works
I agree with Reggieman1980 these tips will be hard for a beginner to grasp and its best to just fix the problem rather than try and figure it out yourself. There is a guide on my site that helps beginners and other golf players improve their game by using a proven system.
