Swing plane at impact

[skillzwhogolfs]

I have heard that at impact your swing plane should be hitting at the 4 o'clock on the ball ( a clock around the ball when looking down at setup) When I do this I feel like the swing is more in-to-out. Is this just a feeling because i am so used to an out to in swing?

Most good players swing the club on an inside to out path...even those who fade it.

Hitting the ball at 4 o'clock may be a good mental picture but it's impossible unless the face is pointing 30° right *and then it's possible with ANY path):

You are right Erik....and agreed it would be a great mental key for the player who has an outside to in swing path. The same as the old tip that has the golfer imagine the ball is a cube and you are trying to hit the back corner of the cube.

Have to agree, 1 degree being 1/360 of a circle, and 1 hour being 1/12 of a circle, thats very substantial.

You'd be surprised how little a change will produce a big effect on the golf ball.

ok this is what I had a feeling about I never had good results trying to hit it at 4. Thanks for all the info!
