Use the steering-wheel setup to shift swing path

Hold the club as though holding a steering wheel and turn it so the right arm moves more on top and the left arm moves underneath. Let the left elbow tuck closer to the side and the right arm move outward; this changes shoulder alignment and shifts the path more online instead of picking the club up and chopping it down.

Try it

  1. Take the right hand off the club, then replace it as though holding a steering wheel.
  2. Turn the imagined wheel so the right arm moves more on top and the left arm moves underneath.
  3. Let the left elbow tuck closer to the side and the right arm move outward.
  4. Set the club from that position to shift the path more online.

Why this context matters

A setup-only fix demonstrated live; the student goes from a slice path to a draw path in one ball.
