One of the easiest things you can do to improve your golf game is fine tune your backswing. You’ll find many golf tips online about how you can improve your backswing but the best thing you can do is stick to the basics. This holds true for beginners and amateurs alike.

Mustering as much power and accuracy as possible while maintaining form and balance is the goal of every golfer that steps foots on a golf course. To be able to do this you have to be able to put all of your force into your swing without coming over the top of your swing.

Coming over the top describes a swing flaw which causes the clubhead to veer off to the outside of your target line during the downswing. The result is an atrocious slice.

You can avoid such a shot by learning how to avoid coming over the top and keeping your clubhead from moving outside of your target line. You can accomplish this by mentally focusing on coming at the ball from the inside

More accomplished golfers can do this each and every time they try, but coming at the ball from the inside may be easier said than done for the beginning golfer. Only through practice can you learn how to effectively swing from the inside but the result will be a perfect drive that parts the fairway down the middle!

There are certain drills that you can do to help you train your swing and one such drill is outlined below:

1. Take 3 tees and placed them into the turf approximately 3 to 4 inches apart from one another, and in a perfect line at a 45° angle with your target line. If you are a right-handed golfer then the line should be pointing to your left foot. Make sure that you have enough room in between each tee so that you can swing the club through.

2. Now it is time to find your swing path. Take out your 5-iron and initiate a few swings by attempting to hit the top portion of the middle tee. In order to do so, your clubhead must pass between the outside tees in a pathway best described as “in-to-out” in order to avoid contact with them.

By practicing this technique and hitting the middle tee in this fashion on a consistent basis, you are making contact correctly from the inside. If you happen to hit the outside tees then you are still coming over the top and need more practice on your swing.
