I've been suffering with an out to in shot and my coach has had me working on swinging with my right foot back a bit which is meant to help get an in to out swing. I've been hitting a very small draw doing it but will this drill result in my take away being too inside? I've had the odd shank but I think that's more me than the swing.

Right foot back helps create a draw. ( Make a normal  set-up on target line, then move your back foot back a little.  Keep club face on target line, but swing on foot alignment line.)  I think what your coach has done will straighten out the ball flight, but doesn't address an outside to inside swing.  Try this thread maybe to start getting some tips.

I was advised it would help me get hitting from the inside but I'm wary I'll start taking it away too far inside.

It should not be an issue b/c you can vary how far your right foot can be back.

Also, I don't think your instructor is suggesting it as a perm fix.  I did that time to time to remind me what in to out swing is/should be like.  Over time, it fixed my out to in swing for good.

I shared this in another post. The pro at my local club gave me a neat tip.  Set up your ball with the logo at the back of the ball on the target line, then rotate the logo 1/4 turn in towards your back foot. Swing really slowly, thinking ONLY of hitting the logo , not swing mechanics, ball flight or target.  Your aim should shift you into hitting inside out without having to consciously think about it.

I had an outside in or over the top swing and this helped me a lot.

A very inside to out swing path can produce a shank because you are pushing the clubhead outward.

Not really a drill that I found successful.

It's definitely not a permanent fix and he said this will help get the feeling but over time I should bring my foot forward once the feeling is there.

    • Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf. 
    • I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!
    • Do you have examples of exceptional scores versus their established handicap indexes?
    • Day 539, April 23, 2024 Mirror work once again. When I get back to swings, I'll just do it A. LOT.
    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?
