After this video, you'll be able to:
- Distinguish between inside-out and outside-in swing paths
- Identify the specific shot tendencies causing your two-way miss
- Understand how club face position relates to shot direction and curve
Learn how to diagnose your two-way miss and understand the patterns behind it. This knowledge will help you pinpoint the cause of your erratic shots and work towards more consistent ball striking.

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.220
This concept video is if you have a two-way miss learn from the curve. So there
2
00:00:05.220 --> 00:00:10.340
are a couple different patterns that can create the two-way miss but what I
3
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:16.400
find stumps most people in correcting their two-way miss is they don't
4
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:20.700
totally understand it. They don't know what's actually happening. So they think
5
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:24.060
that they hit a big pole and then they think that they hit a big block. And
6
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:24.740
while
7
00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:28.560
it is possible especially if you have a very neutral path, if you have a path
8
00:00:28.560 --> 00:00:33.880
that's really straight down at the bottom, then it is possible to have your
9
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.880
path shift from outside in and hit poles to inside out and hit blocks. But
10
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.220
they're usually pretty subtle. So if you have a big two-way miss where you're
11
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:46.840
hitting it 50 yards offline, then I'll challenge you to figure out which is
12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.180
your path tendency. Are you coming more from the inside? Or are you coming more
13
00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:55.000
from the outside? If you're coming more from the inside. So let's say my club
14
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:55.200
has
15
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:01.980
more of a pattern where it's 6, 7, 8, maybe even 10 degrees inside out. Then
16
00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:02.680
the
17
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:07.080
right shot is going to tend to go pretty straight because the club face will be
18
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.350
there or slightly open and it's going to start way right because of the path.
19
00:01:11.350 --> 00:01:11.640
And
20
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.040
where the face is pointing related to the path, it's not going to have a whole
21
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:20.640
lot of curve. This one when it goes to the left, like if I think I hit a pole
22
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.400
hook, that is going to have a pretty good amount of curve to it, especially
23
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.000
compared to the block. So if it's curving a lot when it goes to the left, then
24
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.600
there's a good chance I have more of the inside-out pole hook, especially if I
25
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:45.910
struggle more with fat-thin combo. Now if I have a outside in, then typically
26
00:01:45.910 --> 00:01:46.160
the
27
00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:52.130
shot that goes off to the right is going to curve a bit more. Because this one,
28
00:01:52.130 --> 00:01:52.480
I've
29
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.280
got the club coming this way. If the club face gets square, I'm going to tend
30
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:56.360
to
31
00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:03.960
hit more of a low pole, kind of like that, where if the club face is wide
32
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:04.320
enough
33
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:11.200
open so that it starts right of my target, then with that much path
34
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:15.440
inside or outside in, you can see that that ball will have a fair amount of
35
00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:20.640
curve over to the right. This is going to have a very different solution for
36
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:25.700
fixing the two-way miss than this one is. So I'll always challenge my students
37
00:02:25.700 --> 00:02:25.840
to
38
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.600
get, to be a detective and figure out which one curves because it's rare that
39
00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:33.760
you can go from a block to a hook, or sorry, it's rare that you can go from a
40
00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:41.350
block to a pole, just like it's rare to go from a hook to a slice. Usually you
41
00:02:41.350 --> 00:02:41.560
'll
42
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.220
figure out which one is your path tendency, and then you can work on either
43
00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:45.480
club
44
00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:49.720
face control or path control to dial it into a little bit more playable
45
00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:55.120
position. That will give you ultimately more consistency and more control of
46
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.600
which way you're going to miss it on each shot.

are a couple different patterns that can create the two-way miss but what I
3
00:00:10.340 --> 00:00:16.400
find stumps most people in correcting their two-way miss is they don't
4
00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:20.700
totally understand it. They don't know what's actually happening. So they think
5
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:24.060
that they hit a big pole and then they think that they hit a big block. And
6
00:00:24.060 --> 00:00:24.740
while
7
00:00:24.740 --> 00:00:28.560

that's really straight down at the bottom, then it is possible to have your
9

path shift from outside in and hit poles to inside out and hit blocks. But
10
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:41.220
they're usually pretty subtle. So if you have a big two-way miss where you're
11
00:00:41.220 --> 00:00:46.840
hitting it 50 yards offline, then I'll challenge you to figure out which is
12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:51.180
your path tendency. Are you coming more from the inside? Or are you coming more
13
00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:55.000
from the outside? If you're coming more from the inside. So let's say my club
14
00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:55.200
has
15
00:00:55.200 --> 00:01:01.980
more of a pattern where it's 6, 7, 8, maybe even 10 degrees inside out. Then
16
00:01:01.980 --> 00:01:02.680
the
17
00:01:02.680 --> 00:01:07.080
right shot is going to tend to go pretty straight because the club face will be
18
00:01:07.080 --> 00:01:11.350
there or slightly open and it's going to start way right because of the path.
19
00:01:11.350 --> 00:01:11.640
And
20
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:16.040
where the face is pointing related to the path, it's not going to have a whole
21
00:01:16.040 --> 00:01:20.640
lot of curve. This one when it goes to the left, like if I think I hit a pole
22
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:28.400
hook, that is going to have a pretty good amount of curve to it, especially
23
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.000
compared to the block. So if it's curving a lot when it goes to the left, then
24
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.600
there's a good chance I have more of the inside-out pole hook, especially if I
25
00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:45.910
struggle more with fat-thin combo. Now if I have a outside in, then typically
26
00:01:45.910 --> 00:01:46.160
the
27
00:01:46.160 --> 00:01:52.130
shot that goes off to the right is going to curve a bit more. Because this one,
28
00:01:52.130 --> 00:01:52.480
I've
29
00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.280
got the club coming this way. If the club face gets square, I'm going to tend
30
00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:56.360
to
31
00:01:56.360 --> 00:02:03.960
hit more of a low pole, kind of like that, where if the club face is wide
32
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:04.320
enough
33
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:11.200
open so that it starts right of my target, then with that much path
34
00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:15.440
inside or outside in, you can see that that ball will have a fair amount of
35
00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:20.640
curve over to the right. This is going to have a very different solution for
36
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:25.700
fixing the two-way miss than this one is. So I'll always challenge my students
37
00:02:25.700 --> 00:02:25.840
to
38
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:29.600
get, to be a detective and figure out which one curves because it's rare that
39
00:02:29.600 --> 00:02:33.760
you can go from a block to a hook, or sorry, it's rare that you can go from a
40
00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:41.350
block to a pole, just like it's rare to go from a hook to a slice. Usually you
41
00:02:41.350 --> 00:02:41.560
'll
42
00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.220
figure out which one is your path tendency, and then you can work on either
43
00:02:45.220 --> 00:02:45.480
club
44
00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:49.720
face control or path control to dial it into a little bit more playable
45
00:02:49.720 --> 00:02:55.120
position. That will give you ultimately more consistency and more control of
46
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:59.600
which way you're going to miss it on each shot.
