HOW TO MANAGE your CLUB PATH in your GOLF SWING

Mark Crossfield (AskGolfGuru) provides expert advice on how to manage an excessive inside-out club path. He demonstrates how focusing on the 'exit point' of the hands and intentionally starting the ball left can help golfers who struggle with hooks and blocks find a more neutral swing path.

• Identify if your inside-out path is a compensation for poor club face control.
• Change your swing 'agenda' by focusing on the follow-through exit point rather than the backswing.
• Feel your hands move left across your chest immediately after impact.
• Practice hitting 'opposite' shots (out-to-in) to better understand where the neutral zero-point is.
• Consult your local PGA professional to ensure path changes are paired with the correct face angle adjustments.
