Step 2

Imagine your ball is sitting on one of two railroad tracks. The track that your ball is sitting on should be running off towards where you want the ball to go.

Step 3

Imagine your feet are on the other track. Once again, the track under your feet is running off towards the desired destination of your ball.

Step 6

Practice the move. It shouldn't be that much of an adjustment to your regular swing. Eventually, it will become second nature. The really nice thing about the railroad track swing is that it allows you to rotate tighter and this will eventually end up giving you more power in your swing as well.

What is an outside swing?

An outside swing is where you start the club head outside of the typical golf swing plane. If the club head stays outside of the plane, you overcorrect at impact in order to make contact.

One of your best dailies Don

One of your best dailies Don. Keep up the good work and maybe us poor golfers will improve after all!

Dear Sam

Your description was a carbon copy of me and for years I just stuck with it and grooved it until I become an "OK" golfer, nothing special. Now I'm a drawer of the ball and the greatest single element that changed was reading this blog one day and a guy named Steve Smith ( god Bless him ) mentioned that the Butt of the club leads the swing.

Sam Leeper- A Truth Teller

Thanks, Sam, for telling the truth about your swing.#N#Many in the Nation were nodding as you shared the unvarnished truth about your swing. Made for one on the best dailies ever. This topic is one that we can not hear enough about.

Leading with the butt end

I really don't even remember everything I might have said about it but it's pretty self explanitory here.#N#http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gTQgK8QHVs

The Butt End

Steve, so eloquently demonstrated in the video, shame that Don can't latch onto this concept and change his mantra from "alignment, alignment,#N#alignment" to "butt, butt, butt, no argument", lol.

Great

That video is a terrific demonstration and a great drill, similar to one Dave Seeman uses at the clinics, to build in the proper weight distribution and shift as well as the motion of the arms. I need to remember to do that a lot more before my range sessions or course sessions. It should help keep me from getting so sloppy. :)

Outside in arm swing

Don- this is one of your best summaries of the causes of the outside-in swing. In particular, the whole area of arms and chest leading the way has been a real struggle for me. In the same way Sam mentions, I have struggled with this a lot. I can feel myself coming over the ball on my swing in many cases, yet I have struggled with how to fix this.

What Causes an Overswing in Golf?

So, the simple thing that we need to understand is that first of all, a typical overswing gets across the line.

The Simple, Secret Fix for Overswinging in Golf

There's now one little piece that you want to add. Once you do this right elbow flexion, you're going to take your upper arm (i.e. your bicep and humerus bone), and you're going to rotate it clockwise.

Bonus Benefit of Stopping Your Overswing

And if you're paying attention to your muscles—and by now you've hopefully realized that's kind of important in the golf swing—you should feel some tension in the right side of your back, around your lats and shoulder area, because the bones that allow this type of movement are actually turning down "into the box."

Get Out of Your Chair and Try It!

From address, you're going to do your right elbow flexion, a little bit of shoulder elevation, and if you turn to the top, you'll notice that your arm's pretty vertical.

Feel Like You're Flipping a Coin Over Your Shoulder

So, during Move 2 is when that little bit of rotation—and I've talked to people who need a visual for it, like flipping a coin over your shoulder, that's kind of the feeling. It's not a locked down, tense feeling.
