swing thought to keep from getting too steep

[dodge]

For those of you have battled with getting the club to steep on the way down - what is your swing thought that keeps you hitting from the inside?

[jeffy]

I can get too steep when I move toward the ball on the backswing. To correct this, I concentrate on getting into a good posture at address (knees flexed, butt out, back straight, arms hanging straight down) and maintaining that base throughout the swing. I also find that too much tension in the shoulders, arms and/or wrists can "pull" me toward the ball on the backswing.

If I maintain my base, let my wrists load and keep my left arm soft, I'll usually hit it with a litle draw.

Good luck!

Try and hit your ball straight right keeping the right elbow close to the body. Throw the hands at the ball. You may be trying to swing to hard, this causes you to pull your hands toward the body casting the club head out and away creating the outside - in swing.

Relax.

Simple swing thought:

Picture a horizontal baseball swing, If the batter is swinging down on the ball, he will hit a grounder (bat path being up to down)

If he is swinging up, he will hit a fly ball (bat path being down to up).

Picture this on a vertical angle with the driver but in opposite.

Your downswing will be a slice L to R (head path being outside - in).

Your upswing will be a draw from R to L promoting a square club face from inside - out..

You can also try a 3 Tee Drill.

Place 2 tee's in the ground pointing at your desired target 12" from each other.

The front Tee of course is for the ball, the back tee is your wanted EXIT point. Take the 3rd tee and place it 4" to the left of the BACK tee.

This should reference the path you want your club head to come down on. Inside to Out or as in baseball, down to up.

Go from PW to Driver, this will get that muscle memory started.

Hope this helps.
