I’m working on stopping slicing my long irons and woods. Any videos or instructors y’all recommend for some drills and quick tips?

I plan to take three lessons over the course of the next 2 months too.

If you’re going take live lessons, I certainly wouldn’t do any online instruction. You’re sabatoging what the pro will have you doing. No plan is better than two different plans.

You want actual online lessons or are you just looking for best YouTube tips?

If doing actual online lessons, I agree with Monte Scheinblum or Dan Carraher. Their Instagram accounts are also really informative.

If I was going to pay anyone online for lessons, it would probably be Gankas or Bender. With that said, I would much rather do it with someone local in person

I like Malaska, but he's not for everyone.

Slicing,. (Righty, I assume). Keep your upper left arm LIGHTLY connected to your chest through impact and, most important, make the left elbow point straight down through and beyond impact. Do that in slow motion and you'll see how the toe pases the heel, which causes straight shots and draws.

I'm a PGA member who has taught for 50 years.

One other thing. . if you're cutting across the ball you,'ll pull shots when you do this; that's a path problem which can be helped by making the first downswing move a weight shift into the left TOE.

I'd like to hear back about your results. Best of luck.

Yep this is me right now. Just about eliminated the slice but I'm hitting pulls all day.

I’m a lefty, so apply your advice to the right arm?

Pulls occur when the arms start the downswing, causing your weight to be to much on the right foot at impact. Start the downswing by rotating your entire right side as fast as possible, shifting the weight into the left toe. You need to feel that the right hip gets to the ball before the club. It's not what really happened, but it is the proper feeling. When you speed the body and slow the arms on the downswing and get that weight into the left foot quickly, those pulls will go away

Exactly. Just remember, the lead arm ( your right) elbow needs to ALWAYS point straight down to the ground. That's what squares the face

At the point of impact only? After impact, my arms have to start to go through my swing and go up towards my shoulders.

During the downswing the elbow should point along your timeline. As you near impact the lead arm begins to rotate so that the elbow starts to point toward your right hip. As it continues to rotate into the follow through it should be pointing back down toward the ground.

Get in your stance and imagine you have a cup of water in your right hand. Swing the cup back about halfway without spilling the water, then throw the water against a wall ( toward the target). Do the same thing slowly with a club in your right hand only and you'll see how the face squares up. Midway through the backswing the toe of the club points straight up, then Midway through the follow-through the toe points straight up again. That's the rotation of the lead arm at work. Again, doing it slowly you can watch the face squares up. Hope this makes it clear.

Also, don't let the lead arm get disconnected from your chest til about halfway into the follow-through. Hit some balls holding a glove in your right armpit to get the feeling.
