You're wrist is breaking HARD on your downswing. You have to re-learn proper wrist position. I used to do the same thing. The "Hank Hainey Drill" worked wonders for me, no joke this 2 min drill mixed with range time fixed my slice. ▶ this video

u/MaumeeBearcat 2023 · r/GolfSwing · in “If you slice, do the Furyk drill. It’s all about the drop.”
I ran through this drill last year and it completely changed my result off the tee, arrow straight to a minor draw. I show it to everyone I can who has a natural fade to a slice miss...I used Hank Haney's version, but it is essentially the same thing. ▶ this video

I fought a slice for 30 years. 2 things fixed it and I am now down the middle, sometimes a slight draw, rarely a fade. 1)I didn't understand the stronger grip comes from the left hand(I'm right handed). I .are sure the V made by thumb and pointer finger points to my right armpit. 2) I did the "Hank Haney slice fix" drill for 15 minutes and my slice was cured. Link below. Its a 2 minute video. So simple. On my drive …

I’ve been a pga professional since 1997 and I can say that this is one of the hardest concepts to teach. Hank Haney is one of the best instructors out there and he came up with a very simple drill. ▶ this video

Your hands get too deep in the backswing. Stand up straighter and closer to the ball. This will likely make your swing less flat. Hank Haney has a good drill and feeling for this. He explains it here : ▶ this video I think you’re very close to having a nice swing

u/Playful-Tumbleweed10 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Advice”
IMO, your biggest issue is the overall swing motion. Your backswing is way inside, which causes you to compensate on the way down with an over the top motion, or out to in path. Check out Hank Haney’s drill to get the opposite feeling of a clockwise hand motion during the swing.▶ this video

Yes, in the video you’re chopping at the ball. Shaft steepens on the downswing. It should be doing the opposite. Check out Hank Haney’s slice fix. ▶ this video
