Danny Maude on YouTube. But the thing that changed my entire swing, is skipping the rock. If you can skip a rock, you can hit your driver. It’s virtually the same thing. And ▶ this video

Try this fellow slice brother. WARNING: I've recently started this drill and my weekly budget for alignment sticks has grown to about $50/wk but it seems to be working. ▶ this video

you need to groove an inside out path. Best is to dangle an alignment stick or club over the ball using an upside down range basket - this will force you get club under the stick and help you swing in to out. ▶ this video

u/Golferdude456 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “1. How can stop getting stuck at the bottom and "hunching" over the ball during contact? Also any other genera”
Try standing a touch closer. Also, your downswing is way too steep. Try out this drill to force yourself to swing more down the line. ▶ this video

u/unseenme 2025 · r/golftips · in “Why is getting into the slot such an unnatural feeling?”
I don’t want to supersede your coach but I’m of the old school golf techniques. Also, I’m self taught. When I get the feeling that I’m coming OTT I do the alignment stick in the range basket drill. I’ve also always played my ball further back in my stance than normal which promotes an inside out swing. I’ve always been a high ball hitter and I prefer low flight for control and spin. ▶ this video
