I am wondering how to get the swing path more inside. I don't hit much of a draw, maybe a slight draw, and its a slight push draw, this is with a driver. I want to hit a bigger draw, but i am finding it very hard to get the club path to go more right. Any tips on this.

Back when I used to take lessons, my instructor noticed I was going outside to in. So he brought out this plastic thing that had a line for what the ideal take away line should be and what the ideal down swing path ways. Needless to say, it worked wonders.  I still imagine myself hitting off of it when i think i am going outside first.  Here is a picture of something similar. I couldn't find the exact same product, but this is close enough that you should see what I mean.

A friend of mine taught me this to help me. I used to slice and block shots right. He had me hold my driver with my right hand only and with a real loose grip take the club back and slowly swing ( almost just letting the club fall). Watch the head as it comes into the hitting zone. If you swing outside in you will see the club head open at the impact zone.

Next do the same thing but bring the club back a little wider and you will see the face start to close at the hitting zone.

You can keep experimenting with different take back swing angle to see where the face is at impact.

This drill really worked for me because it made me understand the effects of the backswing plane.Now when I either block it right or over draw the ball I can just do this on the tee box to get my self back to the correct swing plane.

    • Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position. 
    • Day 36 (16 Dec 25) - continued the exaggerated left foot weight shift trigger adding some easy low flighted pitches with the 5h and a few putting style bump and runs with the 5h as well.
    • Day 442 - 2025-12-16 Got some swings in at an indoor academy a little south of Erie.
    • Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
    • Day 126 12-16 Back swing and rotation work today. Didn't hit any balls. Focusing on rotating and getting to lead side.
