necessary inside-out swing by
holding the right side back and
out of the way on the pivot until
the hands are ready to be brought
into play. If the shift of weight in
the hip-pivot occurs before that
point in the swing, your clubhead
describes an entirely different arc
from the one you had planned.
You'll get," says Jamison, "A slice
of one of those nasty smothered
hooks"
Finally. "The only true inside
our swing is obtained by keeping
the hands close in to the body on
the downstroke, then to get your
power, you're bound to hit out
when clubhead meets ball. And
remember to keep a firm grip,
with both hands acting as one at
the point of contact"
