Struggle with the dreaded two-way miss in golf? One shot goes right and the next goes left? Learn what causes it and a great simple drill to stop playing "Army golf"!
as golfers progress and they get out of the over-the-top big banana slice move they start learning how to come more from the inside and approach the ball from a path that tends to be too far from the inside and this starts leading to one thing that makes golf darn right impossible to play consistently and that is the two-way miss the two-way miss for those of you that aren't familiar with this concept first of all consider yourselves lucky but as you get better and you start working on things you'll start to find this is a very common kind of next step as you progress in your golf career is that you start figuring out little things that shallow out the swing shallowing moves like rotation swing a little bit more inside more axis tilt etc that start leading you to have a path that's too far from the inside so if i was trying to hit the ball this way and the club is approaching the ball this way well depending on what the clubface angle is doing is going to determine what that ball does so if i keep the clubface square to the path i'm just going to hit a 30 yard block out to the right that's no fun but at the same point having the same path can actually hit a shot that's going to go 30 yards left of the target at the same time it's all due to clubface angle most golfers tend to think that when they hit a ball really hard left it's because they came way over the top but the reality is the opposite is actually true nine times out of ten when you're hitting the ball left it's because you're coming too far from the inside and when this club is swung that shallow it has a bigger tendency to want to rotate the toe around the heel so because of that the clubface is closing very quickly and it's very difficult to time what that clubface is doing the trick is one simple thing you've got to fix your path that's the number one thing if you can miss it to the right and to the left path is your worst enemy right now and you have to understand what tends to cause that path to be too far from the inside nine times out of ten it's the hips driving and getting the arms stuck behind the body and the club can't get back out in front until it's too late and so as it works to the ball it's still working this way because i've rotated very aggressively and my arms have gotten trapped that there's a lot of videos on the site talking about hip spinners and that's really what this is trying to address is those who push really hard because as you see if i turn my hips really hard and shift hard laterally what happens to my spine well now all of a sudden i've got way too much secondary axis tilt coming into impact and now the club can come way from the inside and i just got to try and flip that puppy over as hard as i can to try and save the shot and that's exactly where the two-way miss comes from your body senses the club's coming too far from the inside and it wants to hit the ball over here but yet you're swinging over there big problems are going to stand show up so the my favorite drill to help people get used to the feeling of bringing the club down on top of the plane who are coming away from the inside is working on keeping the hips very quiet at impact and keeping the right ankle right heel down on the ground that's the simplest and quickest way to fix this two -way miss it's very difficult if your right foot's on the ground and your hips aren't severely open for you to create so much secondary tilt that the club drops that far under the plane so if this is you the thing i want you to go practice is little half shots little nine to three shots where you're just working on getting here and feeling more stacked over your joints having your torso more stacked over your hips instead of leaned way back here if you're doing this a lot with the knees kicking in the foot's coming up in the air the simple fix there is to combine this feeling of being stacked with your torso while keeping the foot down on the ground so you're going to practice releasing like this instead of like this all of a sudden you're going to find it very difficult to swing too far from the inside because your body's essentially in the way when you clear your hips out aggressively that's what gets them out of the way and it makes room for the arms to drop underneath and inside and that's where you start getting this slinging snap hook push ball push push shots etc so nine to three shots just back shift over post up but for you if you're used to getting your hips very open so much so that your heel has to come up in the air every time you're going to feel like your hips are dead square every single time and your shoulders are going to be square with it your hips will most likely be way more open than you think but if you practice this drill you can start getting posted up and feel very anchored and solid to the ground which is an awesome feeling and it helps you get the feeling of the club working down on top of the plane and on top of the ball instead of this so if you've got a two-way miss go out and practice nine to three drills feeling very tall at impact right heel on the ground the whole time and see if that doesn't straighten out that two-way miss
