Fix Your Swing Path FAST | Secret Side Bend Trick

PGA instructor Adam Bazalgette demonstrates how to fix an outside-in swing path by mastering 'side bend' and lead-side weight transfer. Using the analogy of hammering a nail into the back of the ball, Bazalgette provides simple drills to improve impact position and eliminate a slice.

• Proper side bend is impossible without shifting weight significantly to the lead side.
• The trail elbow should stay tucked close to the hip to ensure an inside-out path.
• Visualize 'tapping' or 'hammering' the back of the ball rather than hitting down on top of it.
• Practicing 'mini swings' with a forward hip bias helps automate the correct impact geometry.
