Golf Swing Tips - How To Come From The Inside On Your Backswing
from:Every golfer should invest some time and effort into fine tuning
their backswing. Although there are many tips that can help
develop better aim and form, the best advice is to stick with
the basics. This holds true for beginners and amateur alike.
Mustering as much power and accuracy as possible while
maintaining form and balance is the goal for every golfer. To
accomplish this, you must be able to give the ball everything
you've got, but without what is commonly referred to as
"coming over the top".
That describes a swing flaw which causes the clubhead to veer
off to the outside of your target line during the downswing. The
result? A horrendous slice.
Come From The Inside
The best way to avoid such a shot is to learn how to avoid
coming over the top, thus keeping your clubhead from moving
outside of the target line. This can be accomplished by simply
working on a technique which is opposite of coming over the top:
come at the ball from the inside.
More accomplished golfers can do this each and every time they
try, but coming at the ball from the inside may be easier said
than done for the beginner golf player. Practice, practice,
practice is the key and once you get the hang of it, you can rid
yourself of that terrible slice shot by making impact with the
ball from a downswing which comes from the inside of the target
line ever so slightly.
Train Yourself To Target The Inside
There are drills that you can practice which will help you train
yourself so that you can come from the inside on your swing
whenever needed. Below is a simple training procedure known as a
swing path drill:
1. Take 3 tees and placed them into the turf approximately 3 to
4 inches apart from one another, and in a perfect line at a 45°
angle with your target line. If you are a right-handed golfer
then the line should be pointing to your left foot. Make sure
that you have enough room in between each tee so that you can
swing the club through.
2. Now it is time to find your swing path. Take out your 5-iron
and initiate a few swings by attempting to hit the top portion
of the middle tee. In order to do so, your clubhead must pass
between the outside tees in a pathway best described as
in-to-out in order to avoid contact with them.
By practicing this technique and hitting the middle tee in this
fashion on a consistent basis, you are making contact correctly
from the inside. If you happen to hit the outside tees then you
are still coming over the top and need more practice on your
swing.
