Stay Under and Inside

Are you having trouble with direction control? Do you want a simple move that can change all of the misdirected shots? Stay under and inside. 

On your downswing, keep the club moving under the swing plane and, pior to impact, swing the club inside the target line. You swing the club slightly under swing plane and slightly inside the target line to make this downswing movement effective and consistent. You should not overdo this movement by being extremely under plane and inside the target line on the downswing. 

Swing place is imaginary slated line from the ball through the shoulders that a palyer needs to be aware of for full shots. The target line is the imaginary line that runs from the target back through the ball and extends several feet behind the ball. Before you swing, visualize these two important elements and know that, on the downswing, you stay under the swing plane and swing inside the target line. 

This downswing action will make most of your golf shots go straight. Your downswing should never be outside the swing plane and outside the target line. It's time to take control and hit consistent and straight golf shots, so stay under and inside.
