There are a world of "teachers" who believe the path is the reason that golfers slice.

They thought that in 1982 when I started teaching, and they still do.

If I were a young teacher, I buy NSA2, and memorize it.

Go to any driving range in the world, beg for a spot, and starting teaching it to everyone who has a clubface looking right at them at the top of the backswing.

Not to mention the chicken-wingers.

Why do I say this?

Because folks who should know this is the greatest teaching advancement in golfing history for the hacker-slicers, think you should just finagle your body to produce an inside-out path, and leave the chicken-wing and the twist toward alone.

Which will fix about 20% of 'em, max.

So, since they are leaving the field WIDE WIDE OPEN, and I only give a couple NSA lessons a month, there is fortune to be made.

Just remember your little Italian friend when you make it big.

IRONIC, I fixed a guy on Monday who hits a huge banana ball. He's a big guy and we always said if he could just straighten it out he would crush it. So I'm in a best shot with him with money on the line and I showed him the twist away for about 20 seconds. He ends up hitting a high 280 yard hook. He's never hit a ball right to left. A little less twist and he will be hitting it great. All from 20 seconds of talk.

I fixed a guy last week NSA style and he called me yesterday telling me about his round. He was hitting it so well he was flying it over the greens, he wasn't used to actually hitting a ball solid. He was so happy and couldn't wait to get out and play again. I felt pretty good, thank you Brian for all the wonderful information!

I can't help but think this is a slight jab shot towards me, so Which part do you mean? Me actually doing it and being able to do it?, or are you saying Brian's information is flawed and not understandable to someone like me or the average slicer in ohio?

Ok, honest question here. Why is the face the most important for a slicer?

Same face at impact with different paths is quite different ball flight, no?.

Not trying to argue. Looking for the man to "smarten me up".

I'm really focusing on path this year and want to make sure I'm not going down the wrong path (pun intended).

I guess what I'm trying to learn is how do you determine if you fix face vs the other 20% Brian mentioned that fixing path works?

You may be new to the site. This may be the single most discussed subject of the last 6 months. You need to do some reading. Responders may point you to various threads that have already explained this in minute detail.

I suggest google search as follows site:BrianManzella.com Ball Flight Laws
or Face Influence or D-Plane etc. etc.

Also follow Brian's suggestion and buy the video.

If your face is open, you probably won't hit it straight without compensations that are bad for the swing (flipping, over the top, stalling pivot, etc.). The things that a closed face often encourage (more forward hands, more dynamic pivot, a better path, etc.) are much better for a golf swing than what the open face encourages.

Teach them how to square or close the face properly first, then you can make all the other stuff work a lot easier.

I am a young PGA Apprentice who always dreaded trying to fix the huge slices. I always taught it as a clubface issue, but could not consistently get players to square the clubface. Bought NSA2.0 a few months back and the results have been ridiculous. The chronic slicers hit it further, straighter, and even left every now and then as a result. More solid relevant information in NSA2.0 than the PGA Teaching Manual as a whole.

This is worthy of a video answer, and I'll provide one soon.

If ever there was an endorsement for NSA... that was it. Doesn't get much better.

"Just to hijack thread slightly, what would you do if you had a slicer whos clubface is shut at the top?"

Take the reward away.... teach him wedding ring up so he begins to hook it and go back fix his clubface in the backswing until a wedding ring up finish hits straight shots.
