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.

    • How many times does Cameron Young get his big misses to kick out into the fairway this week? Burns at #2:  his second was a penalty (unplayable), punched out, missed his fourth long.   (I asked earlier and now I know, so I'm posting in case anyone else had the question)
    • I was watching a Tiger highlight reel earlier today;  all his eagles at the Masters (all were at par-5s, except one at #14). That and this got me to thinking, what would a Sergio Garcia career highlight reel consist of?  Destroyed tee boxes, damaged tee markers, yelling at rules officials, and spitting in at least one cup. I didn't see Sam Burns's second through fourth shots at #2.  How did he end up off the green for his fifth?  
    • Would he be the first winner of the Masters to be banned from Augusta!  Also, come on Sergio, you are a 46 year old over the hill golfer. Go get your Saudi paycheck and chill. You are not that good anymore to get that upset. Go enjoy your "retirement" in LIV. 
    • I think this is what you are talking about him doing? Close enough? It could have changed a bit, or maybe he added an extra piece to it, so it might not look exactly the same as this.  Note, this is from 5 years ago, so it is something is just has to always do. 
    • That's almost exactly it. And it's something a LOT of players should try to do/mimic/etc.
