Mark,
The spin-out is the problem I seem to have. A lot of times my left foot
ends up pointing at the target, but more often than not it ends up pointing
way left of target. The turf under my feet often show a swirl pattern and
is torn up. Do you know of any cures for this?

Hello Jen, I hope all else is well.
Could it be that you are not really coming from the outside, but you are
pulling to the inside too hard (IE: what I call spinning out)? Hard to
explain but:
If you were to visualize the correct path on the ground, your swing starts
out on that path then moves inside it.

Tom, you're breakin' my heart.... congrats on the grandson... what am I
going to do with all my spare time?? ; ))
Re: square stance... are you saying I must be open or closed to accomplish
this poor swing? Honestly... if I had a camera I'd take a video. I don't
know when this started but I swear I am square to my line according to the
video I've seen of my swing during lessons. To make your head shake a
little more... I seemed to start doing this last year some time, at the
beginning of the year my index was 10.3 and at the end of the year it was
7.3... all the while losing a lot of distance and accuracy with
this. Lowest handicap of my life, but it felt like the most frustrating
golf year of my life. Go figure. I was taking lessons this winter
indoors to work on it and the instructor just kept saying I'm getting away
with it because I'm athletic. I interpret that as "I can't figure out how
the h*** you are hitting the damn ball with that swing"!!

Jen, my once and only;
You may recall I had a long give and take about this
very subject a couple years ago. Briefly, the point
was this; unless you adopt a particularly awkward
stance, it's physically impossible to drive the
clubhead through the hitting zone with an inside path
with even mediocre results. As I recall, another one
of my idols, Professor Tutelman, agreed, as did
several others. Quite simply, ya can't do it from a
square stance. Nope. No can do.

BTW: I guess it's over between us, romantically.
JanFlan and I became grandparents for the first time a
couple of weeks ago. Now, Nolan Gibson Flanagan is "He
Who Must Be Obeyed". Son Mike and his SWMBO, Missy,
finally came through! So, it's been fun. Try to
remember the good times.

Hey gang,
I've been fighting an out to in swing path for a
little over a year now
and having trouble with ways to practise to get rid
of it.
I tried the "inside approach" thing this winter and
it was ok but I
don't want to buy one. I've also tried just using a
couple
sticks/shafts parallel to the swing path on the
ground and trying to not
hit them. I find I keep hitting the damn inside
stick and it just
reinforces the problem instead of helping me work
through it.
Anyone have any drills they've tried that worked for
them to get rid of
this?
Thanks in advance,
Jen
