Correcting the out to in swing path

The struggle is real.

Have you tried setting the club up well behind the ball?

Have you seen video called “reversing the loop?” By Jess Frankyl

I had the same problem and here's what I did to correct it. Set up normally, take your right foot and move it back to where your right toe is even with the middle of your left foot. Now think of a clock and your target line is at 12 O'clock, istrike the ball at 7 and finish at 1.

Hands Low, Club Up, Reverse Loop and most importantly Trail Elbow down.

Get one of these devices lots out there. Put ball between forearms and focus on rotating body. If you can keep the ball from falling out then your path should improve. Path issues are usually cause by the connection between body, arms and hands being

2nd what GoldenD said. I played an "out to in" over the top swing path for 35 years. My divots were ugly right to left of target. Never took lessons and only played a couple times a year after my 20s. Couldnt shake it so golf wasnt fun with a massive slice. Just recently got back into the game and wanted to rid of the slice.

What worked for me was just sticking the alignment stick in the ground about a foot or so behind the ball and and a few inches away from the ball at the angle of the club at rest. Then swing and keep it under the stick. They make that little block that you can use for this as well. Cured it in a couple of range sessions. I leave the clubface open here and there but no more 90 degree slices or right to left divots.

Now I just need to keep from doing a slight early casting and improve my ground contact. My driver is pretty dang straight. Even draw and hook now.

You can force an in-to-out path using alignment sticks placed behind you at an angle. It will force you to physically drop the club under the stick or you'll hit it.

A swing feeling should be that you're taking the club back low and to your right pocket (assuming you're right handed). Hands should remain low during the turn.

Using sticks or obstacles are really good ways to correct swing path. Another one that wont cause any damage to sticks or clubs is to put a head cover just outside and behind the ball. If you come out to in you will hit the head cover. As someone else said too getting your hand depth at the top of your backswing is key (hands over your heels)

Here’s what helps me.


Right elbow.

Try to keep it as tucked to your side as possible, all the way through the top of your backswing.

Think of finishing high like Scottie.


If you can manage a severe out to in swing path doing those 2 things, I have to imagine it’ll feel terrible.

These two things instantly get me back to the feels I need.

Another drill is to stick one end of the alignment stick in the ground and the other end about 10" above the ground. The stick is your target line. Line up and practice swinging so that the club head travels under the stick at the end. You can place a ball under the end and hit. This will definitely cure an outside in and give you a flatter swing path.
