The hardest concept for golfers to believe is the idea of swinging in-to-out. Most golfers instinctively want to either throw the club at the ball or use the club to scoop the ball up in the air  – neither method is very effective.

Remember, it is a SWING and the club must be swung from inside of the target line to outside of the target line.

There is a magic move to get the club in position to swing inside-out and here it is: at the top of the backswing, while shifting your weight to your left leg, pull the handle of the club downward (as if you’re tolling a bell) and drive your right elbow into your right hip, and STOP.

Now you are in the proper position to strike the golf ball. Hold that position to become familiar with it. Now, swing back to the top of your backswing from that position. Hold it at the top, feel the position at the top until you are comfortable. Now, make the move again: while shifting your weight to your left leg, pull the handle of the club downward (as if you’re tolling a bell) and drive your right elbow into your right hip, and STOP.

Repeat this move so it feels like the pumping of a piston – stop at the top, pull it down and hold, swing it back up to the top, hold, pull it back down, hold, etc. Practice this move – make it into a drill. This is the best way I know of to teach the proper move to swing the club inside-out. Good luck.
