Right foot back drill

[Davie81]

I've been suffering with an out to in shot and my coach has had me working on swinging with my right foot back a bit which is meant to help get an in to out swing. I've been hitting a very small draw doing it but will this drill result in my take away being too inside? I've had the odd shank but I think that's more me than the swing.

Right foot back helps create a draw. ( Make a normal  set-up on target line, then move your back foot back a little.  Keep club face on target line, but swing on foot alignment line.)  I think what your coach has done will straighten out the ball flight, but doesn't address an outside to inside swing.  Try this thread maybe to start getting some tips.

I was advised it would help me get hitting from the inside but I'm wary I'll start taking it away too far inside.

It should not be an issue b/c you can vary how far your right foot can be back.

Also, I don't think your instructor is suggesting it as a perm fix.  I did that time to time to remind me what in to out swing is/should be like.  Over time, it fixed my out to in swing for good.

I shared this in another post. The pro at my local club gave me a neat tip.  Set up your ball with the logo at the back of the ball on the target line, then rotate the logo 1/4 turn in towards your back foot. Swing really slowly, thinking ONLY of hitting the logo , not swing mechanics, ball flight or target.  Your aim should shift you into hitting inside out without having to consciously think about it.

I had an outside in or over the top swing and this helped me a lot.

A very inside to out swing path can produce a shank because you are pushing the clubhead outward.

Not really a drill that I found successful.

It's definitely not a permanent fix and he said this will help get the feeling but over time I should bring my foot forward once the feeling is there.
