Pulling Wood to the left

[bk99lax]

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.
