...or made you have to stand up and flip the club through impact to create room for the club...

...well, you probably got frustrated and thought it wasn't working.

But the problem wasn't that you were swinging more from the inside...

...no, there's something you're not pairing with this that's creating those poor results.

Clay Ballard: Hey, welcome back. I’ve got an awesome video for you today. We’re going to talk about what I would say is one of the most common problems that I see in almost all golfers.

Almost every single golfer that I see has a real tough time getting that club to kind of drop in the slot and swing from the inside.

We could talk about it as a shallowing move, we can talk about it as a getting in the slot, we can talk about it as swinging inside out.

Those are all just different ways of talking about getting that club to come down from the inside and swing a little bit more to the right.

If I could fix that one problem, if you could fix that one problem, that would totally transform you game. The key is though, we’re doing one piece of this wrong, and here’s what I see most players doing.

As they set up to this golf ball, we all know we want to swing from the inside, but what ends up happening is our hips don’t open enough.

So our hips stay very square in the downswing. Our shoulders stay square, a lot of times our hips will even move toward the golf ball like this.

What it ends up looking like is something like this as we’re coming into contact. You can see my body isn’t open at all.

What happens is, if I have this body position, and I’m trying to swing from the inside to get that big draw, that really nice draw that you want to hit, a lot of times those arms and the body aren’t synched up and it’s going to be a block that goes a mile to the right.

So you start trying to swing to the right and all that ends up being is a weak block fade.

Then you try release your arms a little bit more. Hit that club from the inside, again, the body’s locked up, not rotating and the arms flip past and that ball snap-hooks to the left.

It seems like no matter what you do, the ball’s going in both directions.

What we have to do is get the correct body position to allow ourself to swing out to the right. Now here’s how this should happen.

If you look at great pro players, you’re going to see that when they make their downswing, their body gets a lot more open.

You’re going to see their hips are open, you’re going to see their chest and their torso opens up more, and that allows them to get into a position to where they feel like if they were going to toss this golf ball with their right hand, they could just toss it right down the fairway.

The body is clearing out of the way and opening up. If I want to hit one really hard, I make sure my body really opens up that way to make it easier for that to happen.

Now when I do that, I can feel like I throw the club as far to the right as possible, and it’s always going to be pretty straight. Here’s what I mean by that.

If I have the idea, and let me go ahead and just swing with my right arm here. Let’s say I have the idea that I’m going to swing way out in this direction, let’s say 45° to the right.

But now I go ahead and I let my hips open up and my body open up, all of a sudden that looks like a pretty square contact. It looks fairly shallow and from the inside.

So those two motions work together. In reality, what I can feel like, is I throw this club as far out there as I possibly want to and as long as I let my body open up, that’s going to deliver that club pretty dag-gone square.

Now there’s even an added benefit to this which is swing speed. If I grab both left arm now, if I feel again like I’m swinging it 45° out to the right, well, when I start to open my body, my hand actually works back up in to the inside.

Since my club is wanting to work this way, it creates kind of a sling-shot effect. If I let my hands work back in and my club work out, it’s like that club gets slung out away from my body.

So the harder I open, the harder that gets slung out, and the harder I open, the farther that goes inside out. It really becomes easy to get that nice draw-type swing.

Here’s what I want you to do to visualize this, and to get this feeling for yourself. Number one, I want to feel like my body gets really, really open.

A good key for this is you’re going to feel like your left arm is more across your chest as you come through impact.

So I’m going to feel like my right foot comes up, hips really open up, and that’s going to get my left arm like it’s more across my chest because my body is so much more open. Almost like my body’s facing the target when I’m here at impact.

So if I square back up to the target, you’ll see how my left arm is now more across my body. The more I open up, the more your arms are going to feel across your body like that.

The second key, as you’re doing that, I want to feel like the momentum of this club is swinging so far inside out it’s almost ridiculous.

I want to feel like I’m letting this club drop in and like it’s going to swing out toward the cart path. As I do those two things together, that’s when you get that real whip-like action like I’m talking about.

The momentum of the club is swinging out this way, but as the hand turns back in, the body turns back in, that squares it up and just gets that club to sling on through there.

So if you really want to hammer one, get that thing going from the inside as much as you can, and open your body to whip it through there at the same time.

Let’s go ahead and give it a whirl here. This one I’m going to have the feeling that I’m swinging that way, and I’m turning that way. So let’s go ahead and try this out.

There we go. I could not hit one any better than that, that’s right down the left-center of the fairway. A nice, tight draw, probably drew a couple yards. Flew over the trees on the left side here, I mean that was hit really well.

So if you want to hit it really hard, really far, you want to take advantage of having the consistency and the easy acceleration from that club whipping on through there, you’ve got to turn your body left, and swing the club to the right.

If we do either one of those by themselves, the ball goes all over the place. But if we do those together, that really creates a consistent way to get power.

Now there’s a second piece to this, and that’s the squaring up of the club. So when I open my body, I get that club to swing out to the right, that’s getting momentum in my club slinging on through there.

That’s getting the path from the inside, but it makes it even easier to hit really straight, compressed shots if this club face is squaring up early.

You’ll see the pros do it with that nice flat or even bowed wrist, you’ll see their club face starting to square up toward the ball very early, that makes golf, like I said, a lot easier.

To get that move down, I recommend that you work through a special course that I have built on what we talked about here today, it’s called The Move.

So if you’re a member of the Top Speed Golf website, all you need to do is go ahead and click the Instruction tab, go down to the Top Speed Golf System that you’ll see in there, that’s the second tab down.

You’re going to click on The Move course. Now you work through those videos, and as you start to get those drills down, you start to try those out, this is going to become completely second-nature to you.

You’re going to feel like you get that club really shallowed out, swinging from the inside, and everything is just going to be squaring up. It’s going to be almost impossible to not hit a draw on almost all of your shots.

So take what we learned here today, get this started here, and then add The Move section. Go through those videos and ingrain it once for all, that way you never have to worry about it again.

You can compress the heck out of it, and you could hit some really great shots. I’ll see you in The Move.
