Will bending over more in golf lead to a more inside out swing plane?
I've recently developed a double cross in my swing plane…so its going left of target than curving back to center (if im lucky)…i want to hit a shot with more of a draw to it….but im having a huge problem with going outside in…any tips on promoting a more of inside out swing plane?
In response to SAMoh1…Will bending over cause a steeper down swing even if i take a flatter backswing? I understand if i take it more over the top whilst bending over more than I would come down steeper…so would a flatter backswing prevent this?
Assuming you're right-handed, the best and easiest way I know of to promote an "inside-out" swing is to keep your RIGHT elbow tucked in during your backswing and keep it close to your body on your downswing. Remember to initiate your downswing with your hips first.
THAT will promote an inside-out swing; BUT doesn't guarantee a draw, unless your clubface is SQUARE to your target at point of impact. That creates a spin (right-to-left) on the ball that makes it "draw"; i.e. ball goes out to the RIGHT and draws LEFT toward target.
Flattening out your swing promotes a more drastic draw or fade; keeps the ball flight trajectory lower (assuming you hit the ball at center of clubface).
