Today’s tip, the Myth of the Inside-Out Swing.
Amateurs are often taught this swing path as a “quick fix” to cure the outside-in swing path that’s causing their big slices… and block right shots… and sometimes pulls and hooks.
And they just end up playing that unfortunate game I call “Army Golf”.
You know the drill… Left! Right! Left! Right!
Whenever I see an amateur swinging from the inside out, I ask them: “If you swing a baseball bat that way, or hit a tennis ball that way, where will the ball go?”
Their answer?
“Off to the right”, of course.
I always add, just to make a strong visual point, that if you put a ball on the ground and hit it with your nose, with an inside out swing path, it’ll go to the right.
And when you’re just sitting there… thinking about what I’m saying… rather than standing on the tee with your bag of bad habits, it all makes perfect sense.
The answer is to swing straight back and straight through.
Don’t swing inside-out to “correct” a slice, or any other problem. Two wrongs don’t make a right. FIX that slice – don’t just cover it.
Otherwise, it’s like always taking pain killers for your headache… and continuing to beat your head with a rock!
Try this, just to get the motion:
Assume your setup position, then toss a ball underhand, like skipping a rock on a lake. Swing your arm straight back and through and it goes straight forward.
That is your swing path … PERIOD!
That’s a wrap for today.
If you want even MORE ways to hit the golf ball straight as you can point… that are used by everyone from total golf “newbies” who have never picked up a club to PGA Pros who play under intense pressure (with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line every time they swing the club)… then check out my Peak Performance Golf Swing Video Series today.
This swing is no “fluke.”
It’s based on science and the laws of human body mechanics — that never change.
In fact, it works so consistently (for so many people) it has been seen in prestigious magazines, newspapers and TV shows — like Golf Digest, Golf Tips Magazine, Men’s Fitness, Golf.com, Senior Golfer Magazine, Golf Week, The Golf Channel, PGA Magazine, Executive Golfer, The Boston Globe and numerous radio shows around the world.
Best part?
My DVDs let you learn the swing at a small fraction of what my private students pay.
Why not check it out today, while it’s still on your mind?
You have nothing to lose whatsoever. In fact, if after just 2 buckets of balls you don’t shave at LEAST 5 strokes off your game, it’s free.
