01 · The one fix

Primary fix identified

Shallow the downswing so the club approaches from the inside. Fix the path first; the face is far easier to square once the path is neutral.

The path is the engine of the curve. Aiming further left or only changing your grip usually makes a slice worse — shallowing the path straightens ball flight at its source and is the fastest single change for most slicers.

Illustrative example (not your data)A single down-the-line video supports a confident read on path direction and sequence. Exact path and face numbers would need a launch monitor.

  • Exact club path and face angles in degrees (needs a launch monitor)
  • Whether equipment (shaft, lie, loft) is contributing
  • Anything about wrist or shoulder health — stop if you feel pain

03 · Three drills tied to this fix

DRILL 1Headcover gate drill

Place a headcover a few inches outside and just behind the ball. Make swings that miss it on the way down — natural when the club drops to the inside, hard when you come over the top. 2 sets of 10 slow.

DRILL 2Pump-and-drop transition

From the top, slowly pump the club halfway down twice, feeling the trail elbow drop in front of the hip while the hands stay back. Swing through on the third rep. 10 reps.

DRILL 3Split-hand release

Grip with hands slightly apart, make half swings, and feel the lead forearm rotate so the toe points up after impact. Trains the face to square. 2 sets of 10.

04 · Your 7-day plan

Days 1–7

Days 1–2

Headcover gate drill at half speed only. Groove the inside approach — no full swings yet.

Days 3–4

Add the pump-and-drop transition. Alternate with the gate drill.

Day 5

Add the split-hand release to square the face. Keep speed at 70%.

Day 6

Combine all three at 80%. Notice the start line shifting toward target.

Day 7 · RETEST

Retest: re-film one driver swing from the same angle and compare.

On day 7, re-film one driver swing from the same down-the-line angle and distance. Compare transition (does the club drop inside now?) and start line. Re-record every 1–2 weeks to track the trend, not a single swing.
