Improve Your Swing Path with the 9 to 3 Drill
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Identify whether your swing path is inside-out or outside-in.
- Practice proper impact alignments to enhance shot accuracy.
- Visualize your swing path changes to develop better consistency.
In this video, you'll learn the 9 to 3 drill using a four square feedback model to help you understand and improve your swing path. This technique provides valuable visual cues to enhance your impact position and overall swing mechanics.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.700
This drill is the 9 to 3 drill using the 4 square feedback, so while you're
2
00:00:06.700 --> 00:00:10.500
working on your 9 to 3 in your impact position, you can also start thinking
3
00:00:10.500 --> 00:00:11.000
about path.
4
00:00:11.000 --> 00:00:14.700
Now, you're not going to get into the movements of what create path until you
5
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:19.170
do transition and release, but you can at least start trying to play around and
6
00:00:19.170 --> 00:00:22.000
understand the feedback that path gives you.
7
00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:26.500
So, in this 4 square model, basically, if you were to draw a line from the
8
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:31.050
white T to a white T and brown T to brown T, we'd have 4 grid, or a grid with 4
9
00:00:31.050 --> 00:00:32.000
squares.
10
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.220
So, we've got square 1, square 2, square 3, square 4. As long as the club is
11
00:00:36.220 --> 00:00:40.850
going from square 1 to 3, or staying in odds, I'm going to have a little bit of
12
00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:42.000
an end out path.
13
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:48.360
If it's going from 2 to 4, that's an outside end path. So, you can work on
14
00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:54.820
these 9 to 3 drills, trying to exaggerate some of the path changes, or path
15
00:00:54.820 --> 00:01:02.350
ideas, of trying to go from square 1 to 3, and getting a visual of, well, if I
16
00:01:02.350 --> 00:01:06.000
get here and I come over, oh no, I'm going from square 2 to 4.
17
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:12.000
So, I'll do it, hitting, kind of out in the weeds.
18
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:18.310
So, in this direction, I'd be trying to get my impact alignment like so, and
19
00:01:18.310 --> 00:01:22.040
you can see that that club would be coming inside that T to outside that T,
20
00:01:22.040 --> 00:01:28.690
instead of like so if I got that right arm high, or instead of like so if I got
21
00:01:28.690 --> 00:01:30.000
that right arm high.
22
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:35.110
So, 9 to 3, you're basically going waist tight to waist tight, just like so,
23
00:01:35.110 --> 00:01:38.790
working on those impact alignments, and this is a great way to give you some
24
00:01:38.790 --> 00:01:41.000
visual feedback of the path while you do it.
