This channel should be called "Golf Instruction Greatest Hits." Love the drills in this video and really enjoyed the Solid Strike video course as well. Thanks so much Adam for your commitment to helping us golfers get better at this crazy game!
You're right Matt, awesome drill. Such a common problem among golfers and if they could replicate this drill and practice enough we'd see a lot less over the top and slice shots on the golf course. For me I'd rather play a draw that starts right and curves back then the other way around.
Finally someone bright enough to teach the patient approach. I donât think anyone can permanently fix a golf swing in one lesson. I think it has to be developed based on simple, broad themes...then refined over time with gentle, practiced adjustments. Thanks again for not forcing people to panic.
Adam, I love your videos and have improved quite a bit since watching them. I only started golfing this summer for the first time at the age of 55. But Iâm confused on this one. I donât understand how hitting the ball to the right will correct the swing path. I hit my irons fairly straight now(thanks to your videos) but now Iâm back to slicing my driver. Thanks again for your time to do these videos for us.
Thanks. If you're slicing your driver I'd put my attention on closing the club face more in the downswing, the face HAS to be open (not counting mishits) if it's slicing. Once the curve is gone then work on swing path as needed. Swinging to the right is just a way to feel the opposite of cutting across the target line (swinging to the left). I hope this helps. Best, Adam
Great timing on this tip. I am working on in to out with my coach right now. Thus seems like a great drill on the driving range. You got a new subscriber. As a recently-retired 64-year-old I need very simple tips.
There are a lot of "instructors" on CZcams. There are far fewer teachers. Adam is a teacher. I've never been a mechanical golfer and telling me about positions and weight distributions is utterly pointless. Seriously, who thinks about having 55% of your weight on the left foot when you start your backswing"? Adam has an informal, common sense way of teaching that just clicks for me. I've become a huge fan of his channel and teaching style because I can watch one of his videos and incorporate the lesson. The biggest thing I've learned is that while you're working on your swing don't be obsessed with the results of he shot. It has made a HUGE difference. Thanks for what you do Adam and keep the videos coming!
This drill actually works really well to get the feeling of hitting from the inside out. I used this drill to change my drive path and was amazed at how effective hitting from the inside to out is. It's a really hard concept for a lot of people to understand mentally that hitting from the inside to the outside creates a straight shot, took me a couple years, but it works.
I play with two scratch players often at my club...one is young, 30 or so, the other is 65...he's the club champ--his swing is WAY inside out--back in again. The young guy hits it a country mile--around 300 every time, and HE swings slightly outside in...it's incredible that he's that good and still is working on this at his level. I think almost every golfer can benefit from this lesson, I certainly hope to. Thanks for posting.
probably one of the better Videos. Getting into the science gets too boring for most golfers. A simple drill is best for most armatures but, if I were to help you identify a way to improve / I would say to ask the student to practice this drill 75 times with maybe a couple of breaks ,,say after every 25 swings. Just a 30 second break. Maybe putt a couple of balls or, swing a couple of chip / pitch shots then, come back and do 25 more until it starts to become second nature. Then, after 75 swings, tee up a ball and hit the 6 iron or 7 or driver. This is something I look forward to doing and after hundreds of videos over my 15 year golf game, as a major improvement. Thank you so much for sharing this drill. John : j
By far the best CZcams golf instruction IMO. Simple, effective drills. I've found AB's "throwing" the club towards your target drill particularly effective. So much so in fact that I made my first HIO this week with that one swing thought in mind!
Thank you............when I takeaway I'm bringing the club out and up and then inside and down on the downswing. Sounds similar and I definitely notice a big difference with my ball striking and mini draw. Now, as you said, trust it on the course. I'm low 90s but now taking the game serious and out there 3x a week. Thanks for all the advice and free lessons.
Wish I'd seen this video 3 months ago. I developed the shanks after playing well for a long time, caused by 'casting' or 'going over the top'. Researched it heavily and found that I needed to come more from the inside. This worked short term but then the wheels really came off. I have recently learned that I was taking the backswing from the inside also but far too much. It created a new casting problem to try and get back to the ball at impact. I'm now trying to start more square at the backswing and inside on the downswing. Early results are positive but needs a few tweaks. Thanks for the video Adam, and those fairways look like carpet!
Adam - what a fantastic drill. This has got me swinging from outside in to inside out! If only I knew it was this simple! For any cricket fans out there, think of playing a cover drive when you're practising the drill. Awesome stuff.
@@Scratchgolfacademy I seem to benefit most from the drill when I'm facing forward with feet at approximately 45 degrees, presumably because the ball goes forward if you're doing it correctly! Thanks again.
Pretty sure this is the core of my problem - combination of bad path and poorly squared club face. To hear it could take weeks helps encourage me to be patient and take my time, being realistic about how difficult it is to change poor habits. Thanks
I believe what would be useful to add is that with a more in to out swing the weight shifting towards the left foot becomes even more important. Why do people come from the out to in in the first place? As it is in my case: I had bad ball contact when coming in to out because I didn't shift enough. With out to in swings, I had better ball contacts but had shots to the left or - worst case scenario - shanks. So coming more from the inside should eradicate shanks or shots to the left, but to really get the most out of it, it is fundamental to focus on the correct weight distribution throughout the swing. I strongly believe there is a strong connection between all these topics.
Adam thank you so much for your institution. I used your drill on the practice area and got the hang of it straight away. Playing a lovely draw shape for the first time in my 30 years of golf. Went out and scored 37 points off 16. Back in 40 shots off the yellows. The course is very dry and hard at the moment and I'm very pleased with my new game. Thanks a million!
This does work !! I discovered this on accident doing what he calls "playing around " sometimes we get stuck searching for text book form . When thats not the way to go about it. Totally changed the way i play ! Golf is much more fun when you can hit different shots
Finally somebody that states it can take weeks! I love it, these days a lot of people want everything instantly and a lot of videoâs make you believe that. Not true in anything. I am so happy with what you say!
Thanks for this. I am taking lessons and was told from top to come down more flat which brings me inside out. Makes sense to me. This drill is a great preparation or first step, I imagine. Best, Peter
Great video, Adam. Thank you. I tried this at my local driving range yesterday. I think it is a great idea to incorporate drills to develop feel in practise sessions, I'll make it part of my regular routine and work on the feel of the club coming in from the inside.
Hitting a draw is one of the most difficult skills you can acquire. It's comparable to playing the entire solo to Hotel California, note for note on guitar. Here are the things that must happen to hit a draw: 1. The club must drop straight down at start of downswing - if your hips or shoulders rotate first (over the top), you're dead 2. Your shoulders must rotate around the axis of your spine, which means the left shoulder will lower on the back swing, and right shoulder will lower on the downswing and follow through. If you don't drop your right shoulder, you cannot hit from the inside. 3. Your right wrist must be extended - palm up at the top of the backswing. Do not start flexing the wrist until the handle is coming across your body, and never go beyond neutral (flipping the club). 4. The right elbow must stay close to the body and must clear your right hip as your hands pass in front of you. If you're not flexible enough to clear your hip (most of us aren't), you will have to slide your hips slightly forward. 5. Your hands must be past the ball at impact, and before fully releasing the club. 6. Your left arm must be fully extended, with your left bicep tucked snugg-ly against your chest, elbow against your left side, and antecubital facing upward. 7. As your hands cross in front of you, complete your hip and shoulder turn - push through with the right shoulder as if you were doing an upper cut. Extend your right arm through impact as you release the club. Try to keep your center of gravity over your feet - when you first learn, it will feel as if you are falling toward the ball as you finish the swing. 8. Once you have your path inside to out by performing the proper transitions, work on getting the club face closed at impact (as mentioned in the video). The key is to keep the left wrist flat, or slightly flexed (no cupping!) and it should feel as if you are turning the back of your left hand towards the ground at impact (known as hooding the ball). Take the eight things above and work on them one at a time. Then start combining them. Be patient, and don't worry about the outcome until all pieces are together. The first drill should be done using just your left arm, do a big shoulder turn and allow gravity to let the club drop straight down before starting your shoulder turn. Then do the same with only your right arm, keeping the elbow tucked - then put it together with both hands. The 9 O'clock to 3 O'clock drill is also excellent for identifying many bad habits. Best of luck!
This information and all the drills and tips that Adam presents are concise and to the point. Iâm a very senior golfer and have starting to enjoy golf for the first time in quite awhile. Thanks for the great instructions .
Brilliant exercise Adam many thanks for video.I will be doing this from this moment on until I can finally swing without thinking about it.(Wish I saw this 30 years ago lol)
useful couple of tips!, just getting back into golf after a few years off and although I dont come over the top I am a little steep into the ball and want to get a more consistent shot, more specifically a more consistent miss!
Great tips. This year I corrected my swing path and it changed my game off the tee completely. However, my iron game has improved little and I tend to draw my irons more than fading.
Nice Adam, As a byproduct of this drill, note the pelvis. Adam slots the path along the line of the pelvis. Get that, and after you groove the club path, you can then speed up the pelvis.
Adam always enjoy your insights and experience. You make a seemingly simple game simpler? Ha ha. I'm guilty of the low left divot and hard left ball movement. Combination of overswinging and club action. This will hopefully fix some of those issues. Cheers.
I realized I hit âout to inâ when I started to hit my irons more solid and with a divot. Problem is my divot was pointing wayy left of the target . I way hitting the ball with too much sidespin.
The notes appearing on the screen actually covers the ball. Suggest shift it to some corner. We should be able to see the ball at the time of impact. Santosh
Hi Adam. Great channel and video. After doing this drill, I felt the club shallow automatically. Does swinging from the inside cause the club to shallow? (Sure feels like it.) Thanks Adam!
Hey Adam, great video! Been following your videos for a while and your tips have brought my handicap down from a 21 to a 13. I live in Ft Myers, and may just have to come down to Mediterra for a proper lesson!
Stefan, I highly recommend a lesson or two with Adam. I took a few on my visit last year to Naples. He helped me on my swing (particularly shaft lean), showed me on video in comparison to other (famous) golfers, to demonstrate what I was doing well and indicated ways to improve. Seeing yourself on video is SO helpful.
Excellent video- 2 questions- How can you hit directly behind the back side of the ball and not the inside right corner and still swing right? Is the loop you illustrate from backswing to downswing a requirement to hit from the inside?
Leonard, A true in to out swing would hit the inside corner of the ball. Ultimately you'd want to come from the inside, then hit the back of the ball. Hope this helps. Best, Adam
How do I stop spinning out? Meaning I think I'm rotating my shoulders first and my front foot always moves to the right, left handed golfer here. Thanks.
Hi rob here. I have been struggling with getting my hip sway through impact. I tend to have my shoulder leading rather than my hip. Any tips? Great video!
Rob, Hard to say without seeing you swing. Maybe rehearse what you want in slow motion, then add some speed. Hope you get it sorted out. All the best, Adam
As always, another great video and appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise. To get the club face back "online" during the forward swing wouldn't you have to initiate the downswing with a lower-body forward movement (toward the target) and rotation. Otherwise, the club would continue to go toward the "outward" direction.
I think the translate tool might be giving incorrect translation. Would you mind helping us translate? We can pay you. Send us an email if you are interested. support@scratchgolfacademy.com . Thanks for the comment!
You have to practice it Mark. Hold the club up in front of you, turning it towards the ground (somewhat bowing it) is closed. Hit lots of half shots with a 6 iron until you are good at hitting it left and right at will, then you have feel Hope this helps Best, Adam
Matthew, I'm afraid there is no answer to that, try to feel the release at the moment of impact. If I was using a fly swatter, and 'scooped' the fly up the wall, what would you tell me? It's a bit like that, you just have to relax your mind and adjust. Hope this helps. Best, Adam
If the amateur golfer were able to follow those instructions and hit the ball to the right like that following bat swing path, then why wouldnât they just practice hitting the ball with a correct straight path and go dead straight? Doesnât make sense to me
The human mind learns motor skills by contrast. Always trying for neutral usually doesn't build deep skill. Once the person can freely hit the boundaries (so to speak) they can then more easily dial neutral in. Also, when under duress, as in on course, and they start to struggle, they will have more built in feel to make corrections. Hope this helps. Best, Adam
Good channel/content, but that intro is a little cheesy. I'd recommend just going right into content, or, if you feel compelled by branding purposes to have an intro of sorts, make it shorter.
UGH...NO! Swinging to 1:00 is death. Why would you teach this? Breaking that habit is the hardest thing in the world. People will start flipping if they do this. I love your stuff, but this makes no sense.
Michael, This video is aimed at people who pull & fade, and want to work towards a draw feeling. If you already hit hooks when you struggle (I do) then you'd want to ignore this type of video. If someone has low blood pressure, they should not take medicine that lowers it more etc. Hope this helps. Best, Adam
This is a great drill for gofers that come over the top and hit the ball out on the toe. I've been struggling with solid iron contact for years and have started using this drill as I am getting ready for the season to start (live in western NYS). As every golfer swings differently, this drill is appropriate for some, not everyone. Cheers

Adam always enjoy your insights and experience. You make a seemingly simple game simpler? Ha ha. I'm guilty of the low left divot and hard left ball movement. Combination of overswinging and club action. This will hopefully fix some of those issues. Cheers.
Thanks David.
All the best, Adam
I realized I hit âout to inâ when I started to hit my irons more solid and with a divot. Problem is my divot was pointing wayy left of the target . I way hitting the ball with too much sidespin.
Keep at it, sounds like youâre developing some awareness
iâm working on this right now with my coach so seeing more drills are super helpful
Glad to hear it Liam
All the best, Adam
What a hard habit to break, thanks for the drill.
Hope you make good progress Mathieu.
All the best, Adam
Congratulations for your third "PGA Teacher of the Year".
Thanks Marc.

The notes appearing on the screen actually covers the ball. Suggest shift it to some corner. We should be able to see the ball at the time of impact. Santosh
Thanks Santosh, I'll see what I can do.

Love your videos. And your subscription count is now > 200K - impressive (and deserved!).
Thank you so much!
Great instruction and drill!
thanks very much Tony

Hi Adam. Great channel and video. After doing this drill, I felt the club shallow automatically. Does swinging from the inside cause the club to shallow? (Sure feels like it.) Thanks Adam!
Thanks Paul. Yes, swinging more from the inside does equate to shallowing the club

Good to know. Thank you.

Good to know. Thank you.
Hey Adam, great video! Been following your videos for a while and your tips have brought my handicap down from a 21 to a 13. I live in Ft Myers, and may just have to come down to Mediterra for a proper lesson!
Stefan,
Glad you've made such good improvement! Happy to get together sometime.
Best, Adam
Stefan, I highly recommend a lesson or two with Adam. I took a few on my visit last year to Naples. He helped me on my swing (particularly shaft lean), showed me on video in comparison to other (famous) golfers, to demonstrate what I was doing well and indicated ways to improve. Seeing yourself on video is SO helpful.
Thanks Edward
Thank's again for informative video
You are welcome Basil.

Brilliant.
Thanks Abraham.

I really appreciate for this awesome lecture videos
I feel guilty about watching these perfect videos ,đ
Thanks from Korea
Nice to hear from you in Korea.
All the best, Adam
Excellent video- 2 questions- How can you hit directly behind the back side of the ball and not the inside right corner and still swing right? Is the loop you illustrate from backswing to downswing a requirement to hit from the inside?
Leonard,
A true in to out swing would hit the inside corner of the ball. Ultimately you'd want to come from the inside, then hit the back of the ball.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
How do I stop spinning out? Meaning I think I'm rotating my shoulders first and my front foot always moves to the right, left handed golfer here. Thanks.
Thomas,
I have a video called getting in the slot at this channel, I think you'll find it helpful.
Best, Adam
@@Scratchgolfacademy thank you sir.
What iron do you suggest to practice with? 7?
6 or 7 iron Bryan.
Best, Adam
4:15 if you wanna skip the intro
Will laying off the club at the top make this harder? I tend to be really out to in
Not necessarily Jett. If itâs severely laid off it might cause the club to flop over the top.
All the best, Adam
Greatest drill ever. 10-20 yards per club, didn't even practice just started doing it in the 1st tee, shot 35
Nice going!!
All the best, Adam
Hi rob here. I have been struggling with getting my hip sway through impact. I tend to have my shoulder leading rather than my hip. Any tips? Great video!
Rob,
Hard to say without seeing you swing. Maybe rehearse what you want in slow motion, then add some speed.
Hope you get it sorted out.
All the best, Adam
Great Drill!
Thanks Justin.
All the best, Adam
Thanks for the video. Can you use this drill with a driver? It's the club I struggle the most with coming over the top.
Larry, absolutely, it would be good with a driver. Just make sure you can snap the face of club square.
Best, Adam
As always, another great video and appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise. To get the club face back "online" during the forward swing wouldn't you have to initiate the downswing with a lower-body forward movement (toward the target) and rotation. Otherwise, the club would continue to go toward the "outward" direction.
Thanks John. Yes, I would agree.
Best, Adam
thanks, but still can't fix my swing.
Hang in there Justin!
All best wishes, Adam
get lessons from a local pga instructor
Adam at the 7 min mark is that your little house in the back ground or even your work shop? Great video by the way thank you.
Thanks Steve. The 7 minute mark is the end of the video.....but I see a really nice house in the background with the opening shot!
All the best, Adam
Korean title is so wrong...

How do we âsolve the clubfaceâ Adam?
You have to practice it Mark. Hold the club up in front of you, turning it towards the ground (somewhat bowing it) is closed. Hit lots of half shots with a 6 iron until you are good at hitting it left and right at will, then you have feel
Hope this helps
Best, Adam
How do you not release the wrists too early?
Matthew,
I'm afraid there is no answer to that, try to feel the release at the moment of impact. If I was using a fly swatter, and 'scooped' the fly up the wall, what would you tell me? It's a bit like that, you just have to relax your mind and adjust.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
Watch out for that Alligator hanging out behind you
We have some here in Florida.
Thanks, Adam
Great video as always, thank you !

Thanks for watching the video.
Best, Adam
If the amateur golfer were able to follow those instructions and hit the ball to the right like that following bat swing path, then why wouldnât they just practice hitting the ball with a correct straight path and go dead straight? Doesnât make sense to me
The human mind learns motor skills by contrast. Always trying for neutral usually doesn't build deep skill. Once the person can freely hit the boundaries (so to speak) they can then more easily dial neutral in. Also, when under duress, as in on course, and they start to struggle, they will have more built in feel to make corrections.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
Good channel/content, but that intro is a little cheesy. I'd recommend just going right into content, or, if you feel compelled by branding purposes to have an intro of sorts, make it shorter.
Thanks for the input. It's only about 8-9 seconds. Pretty average length for CZcams channels. We are glad you like the channel/content though.
I won't play on this course, I don't want to ruin it.
Mediterra is a treat to play on, I agree.
Best, Adam
UGH...NO! Swinging to 1:00 is death. Why would you teach this? Breaking that habit is the hardest thing in the world. People will start flipping if they do this. I love your stuff, but this makes no sense.
Michael,
This video is aimed at people who pull & fade, and want to work towards a draw feeling. If you already hit hooks when you struggle (I do) then you'd want to ignore this type of video. If someone has low blood pressure, they should not take medicine that lowers it more etc.
Hope this helps.
Best, Adam
This is a great drill for gofers that come over the top and hit the ball out on the toe. I've been struggling with solid iron contact for years and have started using this drill as I am getting ready for the season to start (live in western NYS).
As every golfer swings differently, this drill is appropriate for some, not everyone.
Cheers
3 mins in still all over the place waffling about this and that, gave up.
Sorry you didn't like the video
