Michael Kolar uses a ‘knuckles down’ visual to help you eliminate a slice and square up your driver at impact every time. Square contact will lead to more fairways, fewer penalty strokes and lower scores. Watch now!

Daily Video Tips
Is there any issue with turning the knuckles down on the backswing as opposed to timing the twist move midway through the downswing?
If anything I’d strengthen the grip first before trying knuckles down in the backswing. Hope it helps!
Great tip.
Thank you!
It would really help to see your final swing from the front in slow motion to watch the knuckle down motion in action.
Hi Michael, I don't generally have a problem with my driver, but assume that the drills you demonstrated should also work for irons and hybrids, as well. Yes? I'm 72 y/o, loss of distance has become a problem and drawing the ball gives me at least a bit more distance.
Yes absolutely!
I tried that last night at the range, first time I hit it streight brilliant thanks Dave C
All right! Glad to hear.
Thanks for this tip, it is very helpful.
How do you create back spin on shots from the fairway?
More compression, better ball turf contact.
I’ll try this , hopefully I can do it correctly and stop slicing the ball.
Give it a shot!
How does knuckles down tie in with ulnar deviation?
Thanks Mike, I never heard of this concept before, I like it !
