The Outside Path of Your Golf Swing

Video Transcript

Hi my name is Kensey Snyder on behalf of Expert Village. We’re going to talk about outside path of the golf club. This path, unfortunately, is the most popular path that I see and it produces the shots that you guys hit that go way left or high right. What happens is my intended line is somewhere in this position here and as you swing on a down swing, the hands go way away from you this way producing the club to go way out to this way and cut across it and give it that chicken wing that we see so much. Now what happens is mainly you pivot the wrong way and we talked about the pivoting move this way that allows us to swing down and to the correct path. So when people reverse pivot, or don’t shift their weight the right way they swing the club this way where our hands go way away and we start casting the club, losing that angle where we talked about here and all of our power is potentially lost and we start swinging the club fastest way back in here where we don’t want it. we want the club to go fastest when we hit it. so to remedy this is what we talked prior about the pivot, is to get the hands to move in into this fashion and from here we can move the club with the most speed possible and rather this way. Now if we want to produce a fade, this is what we do slightly, but we do it through the alignment of our feet. We don’t take the club and throw it out there and try to fade the ball. We just align ourselves a little bit differently this way which makes the club come across naturally and produce the fade or a slice or just a shot that moves left to right. But almost 90 percent of our shots are going to be played in a different path and we’ll talk about those in just a minute.
