If I can get to that position, I can hit the ball much better from the inside. Thanks so much for this wonderful video.

Ageless video. I was playing well at the end of last season and this reminded me of the change that made a difference. Tilting a bit down/back even with irons in hand. Can't wait to work on this again. p.s. what I'm battling now is a pull-hook that degenerates into the sh@nks. I believe it's because I'm way over-the-top and a closed face. Even some good strikes are on the inside of the face. I'm confident that this is the fix I needed.

I'm putting my swing back together after some years away from the game due to a bad left knee. After a TKR, I can swing w/o pain, so I'm starting to play again. I'm a very strong 68, thanks to backpacking and walking two big dogs 5 miles a day, but the flexibility in my back is still a work in progress. If my posture is off, it's very hard to make a good swing. I've cleaned this up quite a bit, but recently have focused on the slope or lack of it in the shoulders vs the back. If I slope my shoulders a bit, turning them steep enough is a lot easier - it doesn't feel like I'm having to force a steeper plane. What really triggered the feel for this is imagining picking up a heavy object like a 10lb barbell and swinging it back and through to toss it along my setup line. If your shoulders are not sloped enough, this is hard to do. In turn, setting up as if I were going to toss a weight frees up a steeper shoulder turn. A younger, more flexible, player might not notice the difference so much, but for an older player, turning in a steeper plane than your shoulders/top of spine is hard.

I’m a 10 handicap that fights a pull left and it keeps me from lowering my scores. This video was the best piece of advice I’ve ever had. I hit balls today using this setup and it worked amazingly! Thank you for making this video, I can’t wait to use it during my next round.

This is by far one of the main swing flaws I have, coupled with a flip.

Thank you for this, I'll make sure this is part of my main swing thoughts.

Check your lie angles. Lie angle effect is a function of loft. Higher loft more affect . Of thousands of clubs I've fitted the vast majority were too upright. Which sends the shot left for rt handers.

100% Steve Same here...I held out for like 3 years but once I got one I think it works MUCH better....easier to feel as its thicker AND not having to hold on the side of the club MUCH better

Great analysis to the problem. I find I do this with my hybrid sometimes...my start line start left of where I am hoping to start it. To help solve the start line I also duck my back foot out a bit to accommodate the shoulder down and back. For most clubs the side of my foot would be pointing about at my target...with my hybrid It points about the width of the right side of a small green to help me get the hybrid to start more on line. This also gets rid of a hook with my hybrid...nothing worse than a hook that start left of the target line.

@CogornoGolf

I like your take on Clay Ballard's video because it is a setup fix rather than an in swing fix (headcover in armpit while swinging). Here is a question. When setting up should you get your target before you do the back and down or after? Also, assume you have a 160 yard shot into the green and the flag is dead center, should your target be inside left edge of the green or inside right edge of the green (assuming I pull the ball)? Thank you for this video.

Hi Eric, great video. I thought from the title you would suggest a lateral tilt to the right as the first move in transition. I have tried this and it has had three effects. I actually transfer more weight to the left, my path goes more right and also almost as important it makes my angle of attack a little shallower giving me a better strike and a ton more distance. Now working on making it an unconscious move i.e. do the move while only seeing the shot and target.

When I got back into golf ⛳️ around September 2020 I started to make a more full right shoulder turn. But I wasn’t keeping the club face closed on the takeaway. I realized that driving a taxi cab for forty eight years I was conditioned to not take a full right shoulder turn. Talking with people in the backseat meant being unable to turn to face them. My right shoulder movement was inhibited.

Hey Eric, great video. Is it possible to pull draw/hook from the inside but have a pivot that's too far behind the ball (moving the plane)? When I've been on Trackman with a coach, I've often been too far from the inside and very shallow AoA. Thanks!

Thanks, Chris! I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "but have a pivot thats too far behind the ball (moving the plane).....can you phrase that different for me? Can you pull draw/hook with swing path from inside? -Absolutely -That means your club face is too closed (could be GRIP too strong, wrist angles too strong, too much arm/shoulder rotation, etc) If you are PULL HOOKING or hooking with these shoulder feels I mention your MAIN ISSUE is very very likely your club face is too closed. You need to fix that first

I gave golf away for a while because of always pulling shots. i've always been a swimmer and surfer and have big lats..does body type come into any of this? I was at the range today and rocketing them out to the left consistently, i feel if i could just get them to straighten up it would awesome. .so frustrating. I will try this out. right shoulder drop and back.thanks for the tips

The OTT move happens when the trap muscle engages in the right shoulder(right hand swinger). The only way to stop the engagement of the trap muscle is to keep the right palm facing the sky from top of BS through impact. Guaranteed, there is no other way. Its how the body have evolved. Keep the right palm facing the sky, through impact and the body will keep turning to square the clubface. It how Ben Hogan eliminated the left side of the golf course.

Eric. I'm a scratch golfer, and recently in tournament play, I've developed the pulls on just about every swing. On every ball you hit, you indicated that it started to the right then turned back to the target (draw). I've always played a fade and don't want to change that. If I follow your 3 tips here, will it change my ball flight from a fade to a draw? What would I need to do differently, if anything, to keep my fade when following your 3 steps? Thanks
