If you want to hit the ball from the inside, you can’t rush your shoulders and hands toward the target. Instead, you need to feel like your hands are dropping down first — almost like you're letting them fall into your pockets. That "drop" is the key move to get the club traveling from the inside.
But before you even start working on your swing path, you have to check your grip. A weak grip is one of the biggest reasons players come over the top and slice the ball. If your grip isn't solid, even the perfect swing path won't save you — your ball flight will stay unpredictable.
A lot of the swing habits you struggle with actually come from your on-course experiences. For example: if you constantly miss shots to the right, your body naturally tries to fix it by pushing the ball left — and that's how the over-the-top move creeps into your swing without you realizing it.
That’s why it’s absolutely critical to understand the most important concept in the golf swing: Face to Path. The clubface largely controls where the ball starts, and the relationship between the face and the path creates the curve. Once you truly understand this, you'll have the tools to consistently hit draws and fades — instead of just hoping where the ball might go.
