Swing path
The proper Swing path
The Effects of Different Swing Paths:-
An outside to inside swing path will cause a slice. An inside to square swing path is desirable for straight shots and consisitency. An inside to outside swing path will cause a hook.
Recognise your current swing path:-
Knowing the type of swing path you currrently have is key to understanding your shots. Watch the shape of your shots (how the shots curve). Look at the depth and direction of your divots to further help you understand your swing path.
Understand how clubface position and swing path work together:-
Your swing path dictates the starting direction of the ball. The clubface position (open, sqaure, or closed to the target line) is a major influence on the flight of the ball. Clubface position can make the ball slice, go straight or hook. Try some slow motion swings to see how the clubface position can be affected by your grip and your swing path.
