Hey guys I just recently changed up my grip and swing and had a little difficulty out today. I was pullin my 3 wood to the left. I had good distance probably about 240-250yds but my ball would fly about probably 15+ feet away from the fairway. I know have a neutral grip whereas before I kept my hands more rolled left resulting in a slight fade. I think that my swing was a little too inside today. Do you guys have any drills for my backswing so I can differentiate between too inside and to outside. My swing just feels a bit awkward since Im still tryin to get used to a new grip.

For a long time I had I had a pull problem too because I tend to go over the top, using my arms instead of the lower body.

Then I changed my swing to an extreme inside path on both the backswing and downswing. This may be overkill but now I can maintain posture, stay behind the ball and have shoulders and clubhead square to target at impact.

The lesson for me is to find what works.

Could be that you are swinging outside > in

Try keeping your right elbow almost dug into your side on your backswing and bring it inside and swing out

Thanks guys, I'll try all these out. So when I pull the ball left, am I swinging from outside to inside like a slice but I'm just not cutting across adding the spin for the slice? I seem to recall that my right arm was not very close to my body.

I had a similar problem with my woods and driver would it would just die down to the left.

I was swinging outside > in and the clubface was extremely closed. Both caused my horrific ball flight.

    • I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them
    • I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

    • Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.
    • If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there.
