I'm guessing you slice a lot? Baseball player? Classic over the top. Change your grip. ▶ this video My biggest "aha" moment to stop coming over the top was when somebody in this subreddit posted the arm swing illusion. Focus on the arms more lifting and lowering the club rather than moving back and forth. ▶ this video

This needs a lot of fundamental work. Grip and posture are poor, and i wouldn’t have you swinging a club until you could setup properly. ▶ this video ▶ this video Do not just watch these once and do 5 minutes of feel and think youve solved it. Grip and posture are all muscle memory. You have to take time to check these are correct with every range session and round. Scotty scheffler still uses a training grip every …

First big thing, the left foot coming off the ground is a really bad habit to have as a beginner. Some of the all time greats have it incorporated, but only when they have the fundamental connection to the ground well established and in control. As a beginner You want to keep both feet down until you make contact with the ball. Second is the idea of grip and wrist hinge. I’ve attached videos so you can learn the …

Bad grip and a bad setup, you swing right with an open face and get a fade. Try fixing the grip and then feeling like you’re swinging to 3rd base and letting the clubface feel like it’s going to the first base line. ▶ this video

u/PINHEADLARRY5 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “Please Help fix my slice”
Your glove (right) hand should be a little more on top of the grip. You should see 2 knuckles (the index finger and the middle finger) when looking straight down at your hands. The left hand should go on rather neutral. It'll feel weird like the toe will hit the ball at first. With your swing path, you'll notice that the ball probably goes straight to the right. Good sign that the club face is rather square at …

u/Cough_Turn 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “Thoughts on swing path/how to fix my slice? Been golfing for 5+ years and still no answer”
Your grip. ▶ this video Try what he's teaching around 3 mins here. Will feel weird as hell, but your palm is facing up even at address. You're in a super weak grip, something akin to what I use to hit a fade.

u/dr-pork 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “Keep chunking and hooking the ball what can I fix?”
Fix your grip. Both hands are like 30 degrees too far turned to the right (too strong grip). This will affect the entire swing. Start there , then you will find out what the next step is.▶ this video

u/K3TtLek0Rn 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Huge swing help - the hinge drill”
Yes there is. It's hard to tell exactly what the issue is from this angle but it looks like you're making a common beginner mistake of putting the grip too much down the palm and not holding it in the base of your fingers. Your hands are also kinda split apart which isn't like necessarily an issue but you won't see a single tour pro doing it so I wouldn't learn that way if I'm starting out. ▶ this video. The thing …

Your grip is off the charts strong, not surprised you’re hooking it. ▶ this video There’s no point trying to fix anything else in your swing with this grip, because it will all be an adjustment to something that’s fundamentally incorrect.
