A slice usually does not need five fixes. It needs one honest answer: the clubface is arriving open to the swing path. The ball starts where the face points, then curves because the path and face do not match. If you only chase path, shoulder turn, speed, and release all at once, the practice session gets noisy fast.
Chubbs keeps this simple. First, make the ball curve less. Then make the start line useful. Then add speed after the face is more predictable. That order helps a golfer practice without panic.
The quick answer
To fix a golf slice, start with clubface control. Check grip, aim, ball position, and whether the lead wrist is adding loft or leaving the face open through impact. Then use a slow half-swing drill that starts the ball left of target for a right-handed golfer before trying full-speed drivers.
Why your slice keeps coming back
Most slicers make the same mistake twice. They aim left to protect against the ball going right, then swing even more across the ball. That can make the slice curve worse. The golfer feels like they are saving the shot, but the setup is training the exact miss they hate.
A better approach is to stop fighting the whole swing and isolate the face. If the face is wide open, even a better path can still leak right. If the face gets closer to square, the same golfer suddenly has room to improve path and contact.
Chubbs' one-fix checkpoint
Before the next range session, make three slow rehearsals with the clubface looking slightly closed halfway down. Then hit ten half-speed shots with a tee and no concern for distance. The goal is not a perfect draw. The goal is proof that the ball can start straighter and curve less.
One drill: the three-ball face drill
- Tee three balls low with a driver or fairway wood.
- Hit the first ball at half speed and try to start it left of your normal slice line.
- Hit the second ball with the same feel, but hold your finish for three seconds.
- Hit the third ball only if the first two had balanced finishes.
If all three balls slice hard, slow down and exaggerate the face feel. If one ball goes straighter, repeat that feel before changing anything else.
What not to fix first
Do not start by swinging harder. Do not buy a new driver as the first solution. Do not rebuild your whole backswing unless the face is still uncontrollable after simple setup and grip checks. Narrow the mission so you can test one change at a time.
When to ask Chubbs for help
If you do not know whether your slice is mostly face, path, contact, or setup, upload your swing. Chubbs can help you turn the video into one issue, one fix, and one drill instead of a pile of swing thoughts.
