Many of you have heard a TV golf analyst make a statement after some tour professional has hit a good shot that he/she really stayed inside the ball.

What does that mean?

Staying inside the ball on the downswing means your upper body was facing the ball at impact with your left hip (right hip for left-handers) turned out of the way.

To feel this position, address the ball with your hands even with the ball. Turn your hip and waist toward the target without turning your shoulders.

Your trailing knee should also be moving toward the target.

The clubface should be square to your target line at impact and will be in that square position for only a millisecond during the through swing.

Another drill that will help you feel this position is to swing the club through the impact position and keep your trailing shoulder between you and the ball.

Don't let your trailing shoulder move out toward the ball on your downswing.
