Got a simple little golf swing tip here that’s going to help you strike the ball better. It’s also going to help you move better with your body and it’s also going to help you with club path. So, hitting straighter paths rather than coming this way and getting a little bit stuck on the outside. All you’re going to need is two balls, one golf tea, get a medium iron or a short iron, and the ability to feel a new mood. Remember, if you like the information in this video, hit that subscribe button if you’re not subscribed already, and also the like button to show me you want more tips like this. So, I’ve set two balls up to each other and a tea on the outside. And I’ve got the golf balls maybe around my nine iron width here between the two. Meaning, what I can do is I can address this outer ball, but I could hit the inner ball. So I’m not the inner ball isn’t so far away that I couldn’t actually hit that one as well if I wanted to. And that’s what you’re going to try and do. You are going to try and hit the inner ball while addressing the outer ball. So the reason this works so well, so I’m going to address the outside ball here. So the club’s in line with the outside ball in middle of the face, but I am going to make a back swing and then I’m going to try and feel like I’m hitting or I’m physically going to hit that inside golf ball. And what this is going to do is a few things. One, it’s fantastic for feeling club buff. So, if I’m someone who wants to move and twist early at the top, get my hands moving out, try and hit that inner ball is going to feel so near on impossible. So, having that ball on the inside, making your normal back swing, and then feeling like you’re just simply going to lower your hands down almost a bit closer to you. So closer to you as in this way, that’s further away, that’s closer. Not closer to you as in this way or this way. So you’re going to literally feel like you move your hands more down in line with your body just to try and get to that inside ball. So it’s going to deal with club path. It really instantly stops golfers who go this way at the ball. But what it also does is it actually gets you moving in the ground better with your pelvis which will turn give you the longevity of club path. Meaning just putting stuff on the outside of the ball doesn’t really you’ll see loads of people put kind of things here and here and I’ve done this for years as a coach and always got frustrated that I would do that. people would hit better shots in your lesson and then they go away and they don’t actually improve because all they’re doing is missing the stuff that’s on the ground. They’re not making a fundamental change to their movement where this will change the way you actually turn with your body. Let me show you. So, I’m going to address the outside ball. Set myself up. Still aiming at my target. Just going to hit a nice easy shot, but I’m going to try and strike the inside ball, which I did. And that ball’s gone nice and straight, middle of the green. Oh, lovely. And I struck it pretty good. Now, for me, obviously, I’m someone who comes down on a decent path, so that doesn’t feel like a huge shift. If you’re someone who goes a long way this way, hitting that inside ball might feel really challenging, meaning you might not hit the ball great at the start. So doing this on the range where you got a bucket of balls, spare balls is fantastic place to start bleeding this in even warming up with this. So as in, you know, you could put a line of balls down to actually use it as you warm up. Just use a wedge and actually try and keep hitting the inside ball. Now I’m going to do the same thing here now with the tea rather than a ball. So I’m going to address the tea and hit the inside ball. Let’s talk about what this does to your body and why it’s so fundamentally kind of changing for golfers rather than a quick fix if you like. Is it when I stand to the outside tea in this occasion or ball subject how you got it set up to hit that inside ball? Not only do I need to grip my arms coming down that little bit closer to me, which is great for club path. I also have to create some space with my pelvis. I can’t give it the frost. I can’t give the rotation frost to try and correct with it the ball. It will not work because this ball is too close to me. It’s physically too close. So to hit the inside ball, what we find when we do this with students, not only does it train them to change their path, it changes the way they push in the ground when I measure on my plate and changes their pelvis depth as they hit the ball. So many amateurs struggle while hitting the ball by having their pelvis pushed a long way forward and then having to adjust with this angle to try and hit the ball. Where when you watch better players often you’ll see that their pelvis is actually going back as they hit the ball. They’re creating more space to come down and through here which then in turn with the pelvis going back creates better posture angles and gets better contact. You start getting ball then turf strikes. this golf lesson for so many golfers just it changes two huge fundamentals. Not only path but then how pelvis and body work to control that path. And that gives the student the longevity that they’re after. So I’m going to do it again. This time I’m going to do it with a T. Watch how I create room on the way down to address the tea. Don’t be afraid to do a couple of demo movements as well if you want to. and then hit that inside ball. Oh, that’s another very nice strike. And I can really feel how that’s kind of pushed me back this way. Have any chance of hitting inside ball. Really simple drill. Do it at the range. Do it on the course like I’m doing it here. When you’re practicing, just get used to trying to create some space. Remember, when you do these drills, really try and feel what it’s feeling for you so you can do it when the uh drill isn’t set up.

  1. I wanted to express my gratitude to you for your talent and effort that you put into each of your videos. Your work is truly valuable and inspiring. Thank you very much.
    💪🏿 + 🫐

  2. Great drill Mark. I'm trying to change my path to be more inside and this will be a nice drill to add in. Cheers

  3. Love the concept. So what is the progression after you start hitting the inside ball well? Start playing with the ball closer to you? Do we go back to ball in normal position and hope the bad moves don’t return?

  4. I took a lesson yesterday and these ideas are what im trying to work on, this drill is go much more useful than anything the coach had me trying in a full hour of a 121. Love it and taking it to the range tomorrow.

  5. Just a question about your video on pitching with relaxed arms- an area I don't think you have covered yet is the importance of breathing e.g. if you breath out you naturally will relax your muscles

  6. Great tip I use this as part of my warm up before playing gets everything moving properly. Keep up the great vids 👍🏼

  7. If this is promoting inside-out swing path what do you recommend for a fade? I’m usually 2-3 degree in-to-out on Trackman but I have a straight to overdraw ball flight. Do you recommend just working on face with a push cut or do I need a slight out to in path?
    Whenever I try to fade, I get a straight pull or push draw.

  8. Wesley Bryan tends to do this with his driver. At address, ball is at very edge of heel and then on downswing comes more in to out. Why not not try this on the golf course?

  9. Muppet Tour! I miss those videos. Also I am loving the tips. I am going to try this my ball striking is good, but it might be a great drill for Tournament play.

  10. Does it work in the opposite, for someone who swings too much from the inside? An example would be; set up on the closer ball, and try to hit the center one?
