I like the straight to the point style. I’ve watched dozens of golf teaching videos where you’re treated like a beginner. The vast majority of viewers are amateur golfers who are experienced and know a lot about the game but need tips to tweak their game or cure a habit. What you get here is some respect and acknowledgement that you are a GOLFER already.

Ihave struggled with a slice forever. But your explanation of the geometry as well as the progressive drills is very helpful. I just tried this as you suggested at the range and it is working. I know it’s going to take practice but you’ve given me hope I can learn to hit a draw. Thank you!!!

Hi Adam! Finally!!! A video that I can apply to my swing that makes sense! I’ve watched COUNTLESS videos on how to hit a draw or stop slicing and the common theme was to swing shallow and/ or finish more to the right. Neither ever worked for me- shallow resulted in coming in so low that I often “drop kicked” my driver and trying to swing further to the right produced near misses and a really awkward swing path with almost no power. The example you give with the ping pong paddle or tennis racket actually makes wayyy more sense! Thank you thank you thank you!!! This works!!!!

It can be done folks! I took my 79 year old father to an indoor golf place yesterday so that I could show him in slow motion what his club was doing at impact, because he struggles with a slice (and I have a natural inside out swing). And within ten minutes I had him going from a pretty drastic outside-inside swing to an inside out! I was able to use this video to build his swing up just a little at a time and to use Adam's words, in a very playful and fun way and that quickly he had it! That's the key, play around with it and don't be in a hurry, walk before you run as the old saying goes!

8 years later and still a great video. The wrist action tip you gave might be life changing for me.

Many videos on how to hit a draw out there... This is the easiest and most clear explanation!

Adam, just wanted to say thanks! I am a lifelong baseball player that always struggled with an open club face, even though I have a decent golf swing in general. This little drill really has helped reduce the amount of times I’ve missed to the right. Incredibly helpful and straight to the point!

This lesson is pure gold

This is such good advise. You just have to mentally understand the concept and just fool around and practice. I love this style of teaching!

I have struggled with slicing my drives. I watched many videos to no avail. Then I watched this video. Your use of a tennis racket resonated with me. I needed some kind of key while swinging and that was it. When I played tennis, I could hit top spin or back spin shots. So today, I was finally able to manipulate the club head by thinking of hitting a slight top spin shot with my driver. Finally, I was able to stop slicing the ball and hit it straight or a slight draw. Not just with my driver but with my irons as well. I can't thank you enough.

Watched a lot of your videos lately after decided to try and work on the mechanics of my swing. Everyone is helpful in some form and very easy to follow. Also the 'playful' mental side to learning really has helped. More patient about getting results than getting frustrated after every bad shot. Thanks Adam 👍

I went to the driving range this morning after watching this video, having played a bit of tennis in my youth I understood exactly the point being made , it didn't take long to get the feel of a slight twist closing the club face through impact. What this did for me was eliminate a violent slice or extreme fade to the right as the ball landed . What would look like a good shot , when it landed would go 15 or 20 yards to the right . I understand these are early days . However it was the best trip to a driving range I can remember ! Thanks for the tip .

Riding the R to L wind. One of the fundamentals of golf. Tee it high, swing up through it to the outside, and most of all hold your head back, don't peak. Nick Faldo illustrated this shot from Royal St. George's last week. He claimed to even use it to control distances into greens based on the pin positions. He even illustrated that with actual hits with both cuts to the right, and wind riding left flights

Its so true how I try to implement new techniques at full throttle... Thanks for the in site...

thank you very kindly Adam, your lessons are great ! To add one observation, .. , I have found that changing to a baseball grip with a normal full blooded drive, gives a wicked drawn verve or spin on the ball towards it's latter flight path, looping in in a jimmy connors top spin style, so for the top hand, tuck (both) thumbs in, hands facing opposites, it's the fastest way to nuke a troubling slice, by tucking in the thumbs, it allows the club to switch hit thru at impact, crossing over, hands crossing over radically and immediately, as the top hand thumb does not lock impede or bar this flexion movement, so it adds power and accuracy aswell, and after about 30 practise drives it becomes a tad sore on the bottom hand thumb joint, but it's the best grip by far for guaranteeing atleast a 3 to 5 yard curve in bend in the shot ! And for heavy shots, the most accurate, yet clearly softly softly is a better style. Just a brief comment, the grip i learnt from a golf manual from ivy league Boston colleges written in the 80s perhaps. Based on my recollections. 👍👌

Exactly my thought, I'm A pretty decent ping pong player. Work the paddle for directional shots and translate that concept to the driver for a draw

Love your videos Adam, I can see why you have earned teacher of the year awards. Truly gifted at splaining things...clear and concise!

Excellent to see the coorrect way being shown too many people are taught to flip instead of turn the hands over 👏

Tried this today at the range…I went through the drill and I have to say that out of a large bucket of balls, I only sliced about 8-10 balls towards the end as I was beginning to tire. It felt a little funny trying to exaggerate my hips to the left and I did start to top a few shots, but for the most part, I was able to straighten out my slice with one bucket of balls. Still have a lot of work to do and I am trying to get my wrists working properly and swinging from the inside out rather than over the top, but I do believe your instructions helped and I have a new confidence to be able to hit the ball straight down the fairway…which will then generate a new feeling of enjoyment for the game!! Ty

Thanks, that was a great straight forward but brief explanation of how to hit a draw that I can use at the range immediately.

I first saw this video two years ago and now every time I hit driver I visualize the tennis racket and man does it straighten out my long drives!

Thought this video was from like, yesterday. The video quality is superb.

Definitely gunna try this at the range! Seems an awesome top

I have never in my 25 years of playing golf made a ball go right to left. Not even by accident. I watched this video and in less that 10 balls I was shaping my driver right to left. Thank you very much for this video!!!!

Works great, after only 1 hour at the range i can do it easier than before. We just have to do it exactly as you said. Thanks a lot.

Hope your doing well Adam. This video just changed my game thanks!

Adam I have learned so much binge watching your videos over the past few days. My family thinks I'm nuts for shifting my hips and snapping towels around the house. Really awesome content. I played twice during that time and am noticing a huge difference in ball striking with irons especially. I was hitting ground before the ball often with irons and your vids have given so much insight into correcting that. Just thinking about snapping the towel during setup has made a huge difference. I will never miss a vid and will tell all my golf buddies to tune in great job. Also your swing analysis of pro golfers is best around.

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you! 👍

Adam, Thank you for offering such a great video. Liked how you broke it down into simple steps, then built on it gradually. Different views were great. Got more of the idea when viewing from behind the ball. Viewed it first last week. Tried it this past weekend. Wow, I can do that! Thanks again. Bill A.

I can hit topspin. Definitely keep that in mind during my next practice session.

Thanks again Adam. I told you it worked on the range, I took it to a tough breezy links in Kent on Sunday and after a couple of holes where I was stuck between old and new swing I started trusting this technique and just kept hitting fairways. All my playing partners said they have never seen me drive so consistently. Just got to get my iron play sorted now😀

Thanks Adam very lucid clear and easy to follow

Thanks, Adam, good tip. I learned a lot with your channel.

Love your instruction

Just come across your videos, the way you explain how to close the face on this and other videos is the best I've seen and helped me so much, I've been throwing the club for months and couldn't find any content to help me until I seen your channel. Thank you for the tips! Great channel and content

"soft with your mind" to learn & give it a try- good stuff.

Excellent thanks Adam. Happy new year too!

amazingly gifted in your easy to understand teaching tips. Thank you sir, you have helped me immensely!

I just aim right a bit, grip it with the face slightly closed, and swing normally. Works almost every time! Opposite is true for a fade.

took your tips right to the course, no warms even. hit a couple pull hooks, then next 3 drive were beautiful draws right down the middle. I never had any luck with the draw thank you very much.

Hey Adam--thanks so much for this video. Belief it or not, the swing cue that helped me the most was "relax and have fun!" So far with this instruction my slow 40% swing goes about 200 yards with a slight draw. Unfortunately, my longer swing goes about the same or less. Probably just need to incorporate the relaxed mind set on the longer swings Thanks so much, and as a golfer just rejoining the game after 30 years away, I appreciate all your videos. Cheers!

Thank you for the short video!

Absolutely the best golf instructor on KZfaq. Thank you!

Still a great video and will be for a very long time in the future. Thanks

You are a very good teacher

Thanks Adam, succinct and positive as always.

Thanks Adam

THANK YOU!

Make it so easy to understand thanks Adam.😀

This is exactly what I was looking for..I like your baby steps 1st..then work your way up.......Leland

Adam, this video is simply fantastic - you are THE MAN! I cannot wait to hit the range after this

Practice swinging the club with the ball above your feet. (shallows/flattens the swing plane)

The tennis racket really opened my eyes

Adam Brilliant So clear your the man....thnks

Thx a very practical approach to teach myself

Love your simple directions & also me being a new golfer your reminder to "No overthink" & get the consistent feel. Can't wait to see more & ready to practice today!!

Thought I had this then realised I can’t play table tennis either 😂

Off to the range this morning to practice this technique, thanks as always Adam 👍🏻

Great Video & Instruction !!

thank you for the advice

this vid deserves some kind of award because it works even for a bone head like me, and unlike me, does not get bogged down with a lot of technical BS. thank you. Mick in Ireland.

Great tip.

Mr Bazalgette thanks for all your help, a question, can you teach how to draw a ball with a hybrid (4,5,6,)o fairway wood ( 3 or 5) thanks. JC Rodriguez el paso texas

Very helpful and well explained, thanks a stack!!

Swing to the right and up while keeping both elbows close to your body (like Mr Hogan said). This enables the left elbow to fold instead of keeping straight so that the club can release properly. You'll hit draws all day and wonder why it's so simple.

Man that course is pristine.

What an excellent inspiring teacher... thank you so much.

Great tip and so simply explained. Thanks

Great video, very helpful! Would you be able to make a video that specifically shows how a golfer can correct a slice?

awsome vid

Nice thanks

I live in Naples I'm 40 and would give anything to spend a day with this guy on the course

Can’t wait to try this. Thank you sir.

that grass is so nice

You da best!

that low hook was such a solid hit

thanks Adam, I'll keep working on it.

I’m a fader ,usually ,that can of course turn into a slice , my home course has 2 holes that a fade just won’t work so I’d love to develop a reliable draw , when I try (I stand a little closed , hood the clubface face a little and try hard to stay down on the shot )the shape is starting straight but turns bit right at the end ending up right rough or sometimes running into bigger trouble. Anyway my main point is some pros who fade have tried to draw the ball and gave up on it eg Martin kaymer and Collin Morikawa , kaymer in particular supposedly messed his game up doing it , should you stick to what you good at ?? I’m a 3 h cap , Also could just practicing a draw help to straighten your fade ?? Great video as always Adam !!

Thanks Adam, your videos are giving me confidence everyday when I am playing. Keep up the good work.

Great stuff as always Adam!

Want to thank you I've been struggling lately watching to many videos I find that yours to be helpful I,m left handed and have problem rolling my right wrist seems to be more mental any suggestions I,m. going to stick with your methods. Thanks

Enjoyed your honesty and your crawl, walk, run method of instruction

Hi Adam; I tried this yesterday & can hit a snap hook but can't get it up in the air. Any thoughts? Also, I recall hearing that when hitting a draw, the ball should be teed lower & moved back in your stance. Do you agree? Thanks.

Develope the skill. That is so important. Thanks👍

Great video as always sir. I am a serial ‘down hitter’ of the ball (-5 degrees on average). Do you have any advice for controlling this/differentiating driver swing from iron swing, as I believe it it causing me to slice.

Very nice sir

Thank you very much for this, Such great tuition, and so easy to understand, I will hopefully learn from this. - I think you may just saved me cost of an expensive golf lesson..lol. If this all works like I think it should, I will let you know...

I've had a little bit success with, Fade = BackSwing more vertical, Draw = BackSwing not totally horizontal :) but about 40Deg or so.

Great concise tips. Thank you

Is there any reason to turn your wrist versus just starting with the face closed?

to draw my ball i simply start by setting up a little closed to the golf ball ( to the right of square) instead of square, swing path is an in to out more in to out then your average normal swing, down the line swing path should be more out to the right than staight or down the line (kinda like your pushing out to the right with down swing). thanks for tips

clear video and great demo thank you, going out to the range and try it. Steve

1:11 “I’m assuming solid contact, obviously.” Let me stop ya right there pal. How exactly do you manage solid contact? 😂😂😂

Getting it going right to left is not my issue, overcooking it is. I struggle with stance alignment and clubface alignment when I am trying to do this. Im really trying to figure this out cause my go to shot off the tee is straight and I know enough to know that isnt good. When I am struggling I miss on both sides of the fairway. Liked the video though and I think with some work I can get it figured out.

Good vid

Thanks for the lesson!

really fantastic - just get back to complete basics

Could you please comment about ball position, keeping the club face open and the grip? I seem to hook the ball when the shots are rushed or with the strong grip. I have also read maintaining the wrist angle same all the way is critical. Great teaching videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

The video was a big help....thanks so much
