Clay Ballard from Top Speed Golf explains how to stop blocking shots to the right by syncing body rotation with an inside-out club path. He demonstrates how opening the hips and torso creates a 'slingshot' effect that squares the clubface while maintaining high swing speed.
Blocking shots often occurs when the body stops rotating while trying to swing from the inside.
Pro players clear their hips and torso much more than amateurs at impact.
The 'slingshot' effect happens when the hands move back and left (due to rotation) while the clubhead is slung out to the right.
To fix a block, feel your left arm pinned across your chest at impact with your body facing the target.
The ultimate key is a 'turn left, swing right' combination.
