Club Takeaway

[boothyuk123]

I am a one handicap golfer who for the majority of my career have played with a draw and tended to 'whip the club inside' on the takeaway!

However, over the last 18 months I have changed this to attempt to straighten the ball flight and surprise, surprise I have over done this and I now have the problem of taking the club way too far outside the line!

When I am swinging solid I play with a nice fade but sometimes when I am struggling I have a tendency to come over the top and pull it straight left or lose it way right!

Is there something that anyone would advise to get that swing path a little more consistent - obviously, I don't want to go back to the old habits of coming way inside the line!

Any drills that you know about would be greatly appreciated?

I am not in a desperate situation because I am still striking the ball solid but I just thought I would see what everyone else's opinion was!

Thanks guys!

I can't believe I'm suggesting anything to a 1 handicap (congrats on that), but here goes.

There's a drill I saw Nick Price do on a video where you place a ball a foot or so behind the ball you are hitting. As you bring the club back the sole of the club brushes the second ball back and away from the target.
