🏌️ PERFECT PATH… SO WHY IS HE SLICING?

• Online lesson from this morning
• Player complained of a slice
• But his path was actually 2–4° IN-TO-OUT ✅
• That should be ideal for a push-draw

❌ The problem was his swing arc

• Strong grip
• Handle back at address
• Clubface already pointing left
• But the hands swung too straight back & straight through
• The swing was too up-and-down, rather than travelling around the body

💡 Remember: the golf swing is an ARC around your spine

✅ The fix:

• Handle slightly more forward at address
• Hands work INWARDS going back
• Hands work INWARDS again through
• Alignment rod under the trail shoulder as a guide
• Feel the club travelling AROUND, not just up and down

🎯 PATH IS ONLY HALF THE STORY

You can have a great club path — but if the swing arc and face don’t match it, you can still hit a slice.

⛳️ WANT TO CHIP IT LIKE SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER? TRY THIS DRILL 👇

Keep it SIMPLE:

🔹 Ball just back of centre
🔹 70% of your weight on your lead leg
🔹 Hands slightly forward at address
🔹 Set an alignment rod at the same angle as the shaft at address
🔹 Take the club back outside the rod
🔹 Come down outside the rod again — don’t hit it!
🔹 This encourages a slightly steeper, descending strike
🔹 Then simply TURN your body through the ball

🎯 Ball back. Hands forward. Descending blow. Turn through.

That’s it. Don’t overcomplicate your chipping!

Give it a try and let me know how you get on 👇

🏌️ WANT TO CHANGE YOUR BALL FLIGHT? FOCUS ON THE EXIT.

You don’t always need to get overly technical with backswing positions and downswing feels.

Sometimes, simply changing where the club and trail arm exit after impact can make a huge difference to your ball flight.

⬇️ Trail arm exits LOWER & more ACROSS the body
• Encourages a more leftward exit
• Can help promote a fade
• Great feel if you tend to over-draw the ball

⬆️ Trail arm exits HIGHER & more OUTWARDS
• Encourages the club to release more out in front of you
• Can help promote a draw
• Great feel if you tend to cut across the ball too much

🎯 The key is to stop overcomplicating things.

Rather than constantly working on backswing and downswing positions, try focusing on what happens after impact.

Change the exit. Change the ball flight.

Here’s a clip from my online lesson this morning showing why swinging the hands IN during the backswing can make the downswing so much easier. 🏌️‍♂️

If the hands and club work too much UP on an upright plane, you often have to make a big reroute in transition just to approach the ball from the inside.

Tommy Fleetwood is a great example of someone who can reroute the club brilliantly — but I wouldn’t recommend trying to copy that! He’s hit millions of balls and has perfected his own movement.

For most golfers, Rory McIlroy is a great visual model:
➡️ Hands work in
➡️ Club gains depth
➡️ Easier to approach from the inside
➡️ Beautiful push-draw pattern

Of course, Rory is an incredible athlete with exceptional mobility — this is simply a visual example of the swing direction and shape I’m explaining.

🏌️ GOOD SWING… JUST A FEW SMALL CHANGES NEEDED

A quick look inside one of my online lessons 👇

This player already had a great-looking swing, but a couple of small pieces were making consistency harder:

🔹 Lead shoulder more DOWN in the backswing
🔹 More hip turn on an angle by changing the knee flex
🔹 Stop the head drifting 6–8 inches away from the ball
🔹 Then simply transfer more weight FORWARD in the downswing

I always try to explain swing changes in the simplest possible terms — understand the movement first, then build from there.
