Stop Slicing Your Driver and Find Your Perfect Swing!

Posted on January 31, 2016

In this video we discuss the secrets to hitting sizzling drives high and far. I have been teaching this game for over 15 years and the pain I hear from my students is how do I stop slicing my driver and gain more distance? Well folks, here are 3 way you are going to stop slicing your driver that will work for you immediately.

First, you are going to have to make sure you have a grip that is slice proof. Too often, I see golfers that grip the club way to high in the palm of the lead hand. Almost underneath the thumb pad. In your lead hand (the left hand for right handed golfers), you will need to get the grip in the base of  your palm near the fingers with the heel pad sitting on top of the grip.

Next, you should see the “V” of your lead hand pointing to your trail shoulder. The “V” is formed with your thumb and pointer finger of your lead hand. 2-3 knuckles of your lead hand will be visible. This will allow your left arm to swing and hinge properly adding leverage, power and club face control. Gripping the club properly in your lead hand will give you the opportunity to have a flat lead hand, wrist and a somewhat straight lead arm through and after impact.

Your trail hand should sit on the side of the club and in the fingers. By having the club in your fingers your trail hand “V” formed by your pointer finger and thumb will also point to your trail shoulder. As a PGA Golf Instructor, I see students who have a trail hand either way too far under the grip or much to on top of the grip. This ruins the club face control and contact.

In swing motion, you are going to make sure the toe of the club when it reaches hip height is tilted towards the ground. This will get the face square or even a little closed on the backswing. You should also feel a flat left wrist at the top of your swing. The Stronger grip, slightly closed face and last making sure your weight gets to the front foot. These 3 Top Secret ways to stop slicing is an excellent way for you to gain distance, consistency and lower your scores.

I’ve been playing golf for about 25 years and have a handful of lessons in that time. Most of my years I spent trying to figure it out on my own and managed about a 15 handicap over time. Over the past year, my swing got very inconsistent and looked to Jess for help.We met at DeerCreek driving range where Jess videod my swing from several different angles and figured out the main issue. We practiced a few drills and he spent time making sure that I understood the concepts that were causing my over the top swing.We then decided to try and hit some balls. On my very first swing after the drills, I hit the purest 6 iron I’ve hit in probably 10 years. It even had a little 3 yard draw on it. I was shocked and excited and proceeded to hit a number of great shots.We spent an hour out there on the range and I’m sure I’ll be back for a few more things that I want to work on.Really great coach who can translate tough concepts in simple terms.

Jess Frank was really great. He was very easy to work with and I really enjoyed his instruction. This was my first lesson at golf ever and I would highly recommend Jess to anyone who want to get better at golf and know that when you work with him there is no intimidation just knowledge and fun. He communicates the knowledge of Golf to make it easy to apply and improve your golf swing. I can't wait to work with him again to become a better player. A MUST DO in south Florida!

I took a lesson with Jess because I could not figure out why golf was so hard for me. With only one lesson Jess was able to show me with video evidence what my swing flaws where. That same lesson he also show me how to fix them. Also drills to keep progress moving forward. I had a great time and Jess was very positive and full of encouragement.

My 10 year old son and I started taking lessons with Jess. He has very quickly gotten my son to swing beautifully and hit the ball He has also helped me unlearn decades of bad habits and "mature" my swing. If you want to get better at golf no matter your level go see Jess Frank at Deer Creek.

Jess is a true pro and always made me feel comfortable even when my swing didn't. If you're looking for instant results reach out to Jess! When it comes to taking strokes off your game working with Jess is the next best thing to using a pencil eraser!

I started golf a little over a year ago. Jess has been such a tremendous help in this journey! I never thought I would shoot under 100, but thanks to Jess and his attention to detail, I’m now shooting low/mid 90s after only a few lessons. My swing and straight shots are all thanks to Jess!

Jess knows what he's doing and he was able to find results that improved my swing immediately. I'm a "self-taught" golfer and have been inconsistent because I didn't know what was wrong with my swing. Jess helped by showing video of what I was doing to where he wanted me to be. It was a couple of simple fixes - not a complete overhaul and it made a huge difference in my accuracy and contact.This was my first lesson I've ever had and I look forward to continuing to work with Jess to improve my game as he's top-notch at what he does.

Jess is very knowledgeable, pleasant and comfortable to work with. He immediately identified some major flaws in my swing and had me hitting the ball straight in just one session. I have a few lessons left and I cant wait to see how my game continues to improve with his input!
