An inside-out golf swing path is the holy grail for players looking to replace a slice with a high, powerful draw. This path means the clubhead approaches the golf ball from the inside of the target line and moves outward after impact.
When combined with a clubface that is slightly closed relative to that path (but open to the target line), the ball will start right and curve beautifully back to the left.
How to achieve an inside-out path:
- The Downswing 'Slot': At the top of your swing, feel your hands drop straight down toward your trail pocket before you start rotating your shoulders. This 'shallows' the club shaft.
- Keep Your Back to the Target: Resist the urge to spin your shoulders early in transition. Keeping your chest facing away from the target for a split second longer allows the arms to drop inside the line.
- Swinging to First Base: Imagine you are standing on a baseball diamond. Work on swinging the clubhead out toward first base (to the right of your target line) rather than third base.
