how to make a slice by @RoryMcIlroy
This is exactly what I am working on right now. Nice to see one of the best golfers in the world also has to deal with it too.
Rory has turned into a PGA tour muppet
You are absolutely right. Golf Magazine did an extensive series on this very thing about5 1998. They used computer analysis of touring pros and very good sketch artists to illustrate right and wrong. If you study Nicklaus, he was extremely vocal about it too all of his life. For most amateurs however, it is not as easy as one might think.. They "snatch" with their hands, arms, and shoulders by habit. Hal Sutton has also been very vocal about this too. He stated that he only played as well as his ability to do this at any given time.
……and from there you JUST swing ๐
If things get off track on the take away then itโs really hard to get things back in form. This is very simple but valued advice. People make golf so complex but the best in the world simplify the game with things like this.
easier said than done.
Iv solved the golf swing. The physics are completely different than what the whole golf world thinks. The first tour pro to work with me will have a MassivE edge over every other pro
Easy for u to say๐ญ๐ญ
…not loving that shot shape at the end…he's coming across it.
I did not understand this. The club always ends up behind him.
The best advice I ever got is in the beginning of your backswing with a driver imagine keeping the head of the club as low to the ground as possible and as far back as possible

Is this just a personal preference thing? So weird how Hogan brought it almost immediately inside.

Just got home from my first lesson in 6 years, I open YT, I find this video on the front page, and guess what the coach had me working on. ๐คฃ So there was actually 3 things… slightly weaken my grip, keep the club in front on the way back, and point the butt end of the stick at the ball or slightly inside. He turned an occasional hook into a beautiful fade. Now I just need to groove it!
That one hit he showed us is likely better than the thousands Iโve attempted over the years. Makes it look so simple and effortless. Love watching him play.
I'm not understanding this advice. I've always heard the club head should lag behind your body.
let me get this straight (no pun intended haha): the best player (certainly driver) in the world who normally plays a draw, says to keep the club up n out in front of him on the way back, then proceeds to hit a slice/cut/fade…. well most amateurs struggle with a steep out to in swing and end up hitting a slice/cut/fade. This IS excellent advice if you're someone who hits a lot of pushes or hooks, BUT this is TERRIBLE advice for the average golfer. The avg golfer actually needs to learn how to get the club behind them so as to learn a flatter more in to out swing. But as with anything there is no one solution for everyone
Now you just need to explain what keep the club in front of you means
well RORY YOU NEED TO A FEW ADVERTS TO UP THE MONEY IS THIS OK WITH MONAHAN
Awesome Rors!
sliced it but bag secured
I'm just getting into golf and initially thought Ben Hogan was one who had a "textbook swing" but after hearing Rory's advice here and noticing what other pros do it seems Hogan does exactly what Rory says not to do – am I correct here? I think trying to mimick Hogan's swing is why I'm so close to the heel of the club at impact. Going to try this out at the range next time and see how it makes a difference!
