Tom Stickney – A Top 100 Golf Teacher
The biggest thing all amateur golfers face and Incidentally the reason why I have a job is because the whole world tends to move from out to in. They throw the right shoulder at it the club goes across the line and the angle attack tends to go to too down which makes the ball spin too much not always but most of the time. So any time you start swinging down in left you're really going to have some issues playing the game the way you're capable. So what's a great practice drill for you to stop swinging out in and for you to really get that sensation of really swinging in and out?
Well what I like to do is like to set up normally and then like to pull my right foot and my right shoulder back just a little bit you can see obviously it's obviously I have turned my body to the right all I'm going to do is let the club follow the arc in the plane of my shoulders my hips and my feet and that's going to make the club move more into right field. Here again we're going to do it slow or trying to do is get the feeling of swing in more into right field so set up normally pull the right foot back pull the right shoulder back and make your normal golf swing. I can feel as I come down my back stays to the target longer my right shoulder stays back and down just a touch longer and I can get the club moving this way. That is the feeling of an on plane down stroke and that will give you more power once you can do it from here work your way back up to your set normal set up condition and then I think you've got it.
