7 Reasons Golfers Are Fixing Their Slice For $49.99 Instead Of $345
Diagnose it first
Your slice has a cause. Find out which of the three is yours.
A slice is an open clubface. Three things decide whether that face is open, and none of them is the thing most golfers spend their money on.
Three questions. Then read the cause that is yours.
The other two are still in the chain. Fixing one and leaving the other two is how a slice survives ten years of trying.
Grip, wrist and connection. Three trainers, one swing, and the three things that decide where the ball starts.
There is a moment on the first tee that every slicer knows. You are over the ball, the group is behind you, and some part of you already knows where this one is going.
Right. Always right. Into the next fairway, the trees, somebody else's round.
You say sorry before it lands. You laugh it off. You go and find it. And on the walk you are quietly working out how many more of these there are between here and the clubhouse.
Here is the part almost nobody tells beginners. That ball is not going right because you are bad at golf. It is going right because the clubface is open when it hits the ball. That is the whole slice.
And the face is open because of three things happening in your hands and arms that nobody has ever asked you to look at.
The same swing, two face angles. Right handed golfer, viewed from above.
Your grip has the face open before the club even moves
Your grip does not just hold the club. It sets where the face comes back to at impact.
Turn your hands too far toward the target, what golfers call a weak grip, and the club can only come back one way. Open.
Not because you did anything wrong on the way down. Because your hands were pointed there the whole time.
You will never feel this one. Your hands have always sat there. To you it feels like the only way to hold a club. It is also why grip tips from a video never stick. You move your hands, it feels strange, and by the third hole they have crept back to where they were.
Where the face points at impact decides where the ball starts. Your grip decides which of these three you begin from, before the club has moved.
TruGrip Trainer
$29.99 on its own $49.99 · included in the bundle
-
What it isA moulded guide that clicks onto the grip of any club and holds a set shape for both hands. No straps, no tools, on and off in a second.
-
The fault it removesA weak grip. Hands rotated too far toward the target hand you a clubface that is already open at address, before the club has moved an inch.
-
Why it worksYou cannot hold it wrong. Instead of trying to remember a grip you have never felt, your hands drop into the same hold every time, so the face starts square rather than open.
-
How you use itFirst ten balls of a session with it on, then take it off and rebuild the same hold from memory. Two or three sessions and your hands stop drifting back.
A flat wrist cannot save a grip that opened the face at address.
Your lead wrist cups and opens the face all over again
Your lead wrist is the one on your glove hand. Left wrist if you play right handed. Through the swing it wants to bend backward. Golfers call it cupping. The palm rolls back toward the forearm, and when it does the face opens with it.
An open face at impact sends the ball right. Every time.
This is not talent and it is not athleticism. It is one joint doing the wrong thing for about a tenth of a second. Too fast to see. Too fast to feel. Flatten it and four things change at once, and you do none of them on purpose.
Here is the tell. A $345 wrist sensor straps on, links to an app, and tells you your lead wrist cupped 27 degrees at the top.
Then you swing again, and it cups 27 degrees again.
Lead wrist and clubface, seen from behind the golfer. Cupping the wrist rotates the face open. A flat wrist leaves it square.
Wrist Trainer
$29.99 on its own $49.99 · included in the bundle
-
What it isA rigid cradle worn over the back of your lead hand, on top of your glove, held by two adjustable straps. No battery, no app, nothing to pair.
-
The fault it removesCupping. The lead wrist bends backward through the swing and rotates the clubface open with it. This is the single biggest cause of a slice, and it happens in about a tenth of a second, too fast to see or feel.
-
Why it worksIt does not remind you, it prevents you. The wrist physically cannot cup while it is on. A $345 sensor tells you the wrist cupped 27 degrees. This one means it never got there.
-
How you use itTwenty half swings with a seven iron, no attempt at distance. Then off, and repeat the feel. That flat wrist sensation is what you take to the first tee.
One device reports the slice. The other one removes it.
Your arms leave your body and you swing across the ball
An open face is only half of a slice. The other half is the direction the club is traveling when it gets there.
From the top the arms lift away from the chest. The trail elbow flies. The lead arm chicken wings through impact. And now the club has no route back to the ball except across it, from outside to in.
That cut across the ball is what puts the sidespin on it. It is also why your slice gets worse the harder you swing.
This is the one that makes the other two look useless. Square the face on an outside in path and you do not hit it straight. You pull it left. Which is exactly what happens to the golfer who fixes his grip on its own. The slice becomes a snap hook, he panics, and he goes straight back to the old grip.
Club head travel through impact, right handed golfer viewed from above. Cutting across the ball is what turns an open face into a slice rather than a push.
TruConnect Band
$29.99 on its own $49.99 · included in the bundle
-
What it isAn adjustable band worn over both upper arms, keeping them working with your body turn rather than independently of it.
-
The fault it removesThe over the top move. Your arms separate from your chest, the trail elbow flies, the lead arm chicken wings, and the club has no route to the ball except across it, outside to in.
-
Why it worksPath is the half of the slice nobody mentions. Square the face on an outside in path and you have only traded a slice for a pull. The band holds the arms connected so the club arrives from the inside, which is what turns a straightened face into a straight shot, or a small draw.
-
How you use itTen minutes of slow, connected swings. Most golfers feel where the club has been coming from within the first few.
Square the face on an outside in path and you have only traded a slice for a pull.
Fix one and the slice just finds another way out
This is why the last thing you tried worked for a week and then stopped. The three faults are not a list. They are a chain, and each one drags the next.
Weak grip makes the wrist cup. Hands turned under the club park the lead wrist in a cupped spot before you have even taken it back.
A cupped wrist makes you swing left. Face wide open, so your body learns to hold off and cut across the ball just to keep it on the planet.
That path bakes the slice in. Now the outside in move is your swing. Fix only the face and you hit a pull. Fix only the path and you hit a bigger slice.
Three faults, fixed one at a time, is how a slice survives ten years of trying. Trained together they stop fighting each other. The grip sets the hands. The cradle holds the wrist. The band keeps the arms attached. Ten seconds each, all in the same swing.
Ten seconds each. No app, no lessons, no $345 sensor.
Here is the whole routine.
- 1Grip goes on the club. Hands find the same place without a thought.
- 2Cradle goes over your glove. Lead wrist stays flat through impact.
- 3Band goes round your arms. Arms stay attached to your turn.
Then you make your normal swing. Full speed, full shots. Nothing to charge, nothing to pair, no calibration before you are allowed to hit a ball.
Hackmotion does give you a bunch of data, but frankly I do not want to wrestle with the whole calibration process and dealing with an app to work on swing mechanics, not to mention the $350 plus price tag.r/whygolf
You cannot learn a feel by reading about it. You have to be put in it. Most golfers notice cleaner contact in the first session, because the three aids are doing the holding. The point of the sessions after that is that your hands stop needing them.
The people using it are not talking about degrees
They talk about where the ball went, and how the round felt afterward. No star average, no cherry picked screenshot. Verified buyers, in their own words.
Right away when I put this on I could tell it was going to isolate my wrist movement. First time using it on the range my shots were straighter and my distance was improved. I used it on the course and it was great. There was a noticeable difference in my distance and direction. If you have trouble slicing the ball or you are not getting the distance out of your irons I highly recommend this. It is not some gimmick. It really works.
Preventing cupping the wrist is what I needed in my game. Does it very well.
Works as advertised. Instant feedback when your wrist bends the wrong way.
A great tool for teaching actual feel rather than just words or videos.
Does a good job helping me feel the correct wrist position in my swing.
Wow. Used it on course today and fired 79.
Allows me to feel where I need to be. It is great.
