Why You're Pulling the Ball with an Inside-Out Path
After this video, you'll be able to:
- Identify how an open club face can lead to pulls even with an inside path
- Learn how early extension affects your swing path and ball flight
- Discover techniques to correct pulls by adjusting your hand position
In this video, you'll learn why you might still pull the ball despite having an inside-out swing path. Understanding the role of the club face and how it impacts your shot direction is crucial for improvement.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.320
This concept video is "Poles with an Inside Outpath".
2
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:12.800
So I had a question come in of basically like, "Why do I struggle with poles if
3
00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:13.320
I'm getting
4
00:00:13.320 --> 00:00:15.240
the path more from the inside?"
5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:19.850
Historically, we talked about the poles being more of an outside-in pattern
6
00:00:19.850 --> 00:00:20.600
with a club
7
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:27.190
face that is square to the path, but the overwhelming majority of the start
8
00:00:27.190 --> 00:00:27.800
line is
9
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:29.480
controlled by the club face.
10
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:37.830
So some people get an inside path and then they have enough of a scoop that the
11
00:00:37.830 --> 00:00:38.120
club face
12
00:00:38.120 --> 00:00:41.600
is now pointing left of the target, kind of like this.
13
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:45.200
Now oftentimes when you have a scoop that does make the path go outside-in if
14
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:45.660
you're
15
00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:50.260
on a launch monitor, but if you have some early extension to complement it and
16
00:00:50.260 --> 00:00:51.000
this is way
17
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:59.350
back you can easily have a club that is coming well from the inside and start
18
00:00:59.350 --> 00:01:00.120
left of the
19
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:01.120
target.
20
00:01:01.120 --> 00:01:04.660
Now most of the time when that happens it's going to be a pole draw, not a
21
00:01:04.660 --> 00:01:05.920
classic pole.
22
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.170
So this is where the details of reading your ball flight and seeing how much it
23
00:01:09.170 --> 00:01:09.880
's curving
24
00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:17.030
is really important because classically a pole is going to, that was more of a
25
00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:17.520
club
26
00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:21.640
face pole, not a path pole because that still had a fair amount of draw to it.
27
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:27.050
I did close the face more than I wanted, but if I get a little bit more outside
28
00:01:27.050 --> 00:01:27.560
-in, that
29
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:32.120
was more of a straight pole with just a very slight draw to it.
30
00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:35.530
So you can see the classic pole, yes I'm going to swing a little bit more over
31
00:01:35.530 --> 00:01:36.320
the top or
32
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:44.670
outside-in, but especially at lower speeds, that one doesn't look like it
33
00:01:44.670 --> 00:01:45.880
curves a whole
34
00:01:45.880 --> 00:01:51.160
lot, but it started way left because the club was leaning backward or angled
35
00:01:51.160 --> 00:01:51.800
backward more
36
00:01:51.800 --> 00:01:55.320
like this and that gets the face more close to the path.
37
00:01:55.320 --> 00:01:59.970
So one of the ways to fix poles is getting your hands ahead, especially if your
38
00:01:59.970 --> 00:02:00.360
path
39
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:04.210
is already coming more from the inside because then it means that your club
40
00:02:04.210 --> 00:02:05.280
face is the primary
41
00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.200
reason for your pole, not your club path.
