I have heard that at impact your swing plane should be hitting at the 4 o'clock on the ball ( a clock around the ball when looking down at setup) When I do this I feel like the swing is more in-to-out. Is this just a feeling because i am so used to an out to in swing?

After a bad tee shot it does not mean the hole is over, it means you have an opportunity to show what you are made of!

Most good players swing the club on an inside to out path...even those who fade it.

Hitting the ball at 4 o'clock may be a good mental picture but it's impossible unless the face is pointing 30° right *and then it's possible with ANY path):

You are right Erik....and agreed it would be a great mental key for the player who has an outside to in swing path. The same as the old tip that has the golfer imagine the ball is a cube and you are trying to hit the back corner of the cube.

Have to agree, 1 degree being 1/360 of a circle, and 1 hour being 1/12 of a circle, thats very substantial.

You'd be surprised how little a change will produce a big effect on the golf ball.

ok this is what I had a feeling about I never had good results trying to hit it at 4. Thanks for all the info!

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
