Coming Outside

[emc]

I'm coming outside the plane at the start of my swing (before the wrist cock) and I'm hitting a mad hook then. Does this equate and does anyone have any drills for me?

Yup!

Try taking the club to vertical - your arms should be parallel to the ground at this point, and check that your right elbow (for right handers) is touching, or almost touching your side). From this stationery position, try making a normal swing.
repeat 10 times, then try a normal swing from address, the do it all again until it becomes natural.

Repeat this drill whenever you feel you are getting outside the line.

This teaches you the correct position for you arms and wrist cock. It will also promote a one piece takeaway, making your backswing smoother and more orthodox.

There are alternative drills, but this one helps me...

also a simple fault can be open shoulders........many people who slice tend to point left with there shoulders as a cure but infact it makes it difficult to take the club away on an inside line and makes the slice worse

concentrate on a one piece take away and see how it goes ;)

And anyone who's been in the chatroom at midnight the last two nights will not be surprised at all by the person lowering the tone! :laugh:

Back on topic(kinda)...why is it there is always somebody who complains about drawing the ball, hitting it too high or too far and now that their takeaway is outside the plane!! ....and i'm spending lots of money trying to achieve these things! :laugh:
