The backswing is where most problems on a golf course start. And one of the most routine backswing faults happens when the golfer takes his club inside the target. This move is generally induced by having a backswing that is controlled more so by the hips and the dipping of shoulders away from the golf ball.
Doing this can only lead to a bad shot, typically a slice, duck hook or a ball that is topped.
The Simple Fix
If you wish to do away with the trouble, here's what you do. Begin by preparing your swing with your back to the wall. Your backside should be touching the wall as you address the ball.
Next begin your backswing, easy, and continue through until your arms get to your waist.
You are moving too far inside if, at this point, your golf club is touching the wall.
If you use this exercise your backswing path will be corrected, and you may also correct a problem known as laying off. This term describes a golfer that drops the clubhead behind the body during the backswing, due to having weak wrists.
When you can notice the difference after a couple of practice swings against the wall, attempt to maintain the correct swing while hitting some balls into a golf practice net. The difference will be quite noticable the next time you go to the course or driving range.
