Lost on Golf’s Yellow Brick Road.. Learning to Beat Par 3`s
Oz from Big Swing Golf works with PGA instructor Mike Hawton to fix a pull-miss caused by an out-to-in club path. The lesson focuses on shallowing the wedge swing and using hip rotation to move the low point forward, ensuring crisp strikes without 'cutting' the ball.
A centered strike does not guarantee a good club path; you can strike the ball well while still coming over the top.
Shallowing your swing path typically moves your low point backward, which can lead to fat shots if you don't clear your hips.
Correcting an out-to-in path often requires exaggerating an in-to-out 'positive' number during practice.
Power and path control should come from arm extension and hip clearance rather than dominant shoulder rotation.
Use stable-surface drills to feel the weight shift into the lead heel without the upper body lunging forward.
