FIX Your Slice NOW with SIMPLE Driver Swing Adjustments!
Scott Yurgz breaks down the mechanics of a driver slice, focusing on how setup errors like ball position and shoulder alignment force an out-to-in swing path. He demonstrates three key adjustments—aligning the ball with the lead shoulder, closing the hips/shoulders at address, and neutralizing the trail-hand grip—to promote a draw. The video concludes with the 'Big Turn No Turn' drill using alignment sticks to help golfers feel a more inside-out path.
Position the ball directly off your lead shoulder; too far forward causes an out-to-in path, while too far back leads to 'pop-up' shots.
Preset an inside-out path by slightly closing your hips and pulling your trail shoulder back at setup.
Ensure your trail hand sits on the side of the grip like a ping-pong paddle, rather than on top, to maintain a square clubface.
Use the 'Big Turn No Turn' feel: make a full rotation on the backswing but feel like your torso stays closed longer during the downswing to avoid 'spinning out'.
Set up 'field goal' alignment sticks on the range to visually track if your ball starts and curves correctly relative to your target line.
