Only good things happen when you strive to hit the inside rear of the golf ball.

1- The mere intention of striking the inside aft of the ball prevents any and all over the top motion. You cannot hit the inside rear aft of the ball with the clubhead coming from the outside in. It is far better then the Inside Approach training aid because the intention and execution of striking said inside aft adds to the education of your hands, elbow position and pivot. With that training aid you can merely strike the back of the ball with a low sweeping motion which contains none of the qualities as the inside rear.
2- Striving to hit the inside of the ball puts the clubface in proper position to produce a Horizontal hinge action or an Angled hinge motion. Slightly opened clubface in each case. HH closing like a door and AH with its no release driving to “Right Field.”
3- Striking the inside rear of the ball can only be accomplished by keeping your Flying wedges intact and on plane, driving them to its aiming point to maintain clubhead lag into impact. Keeping the wedges intact of course maintains a bent right wrist and a flat left wrist. Staying on a straight line plane, maintaining lag and a flat left wrist adds up to the Three Essentials. Not too shabby for a simply intentional of where to strike the ball.

I read once that Ben Doyle would teach extensor action he had just five minutes with a student. I’m sure Homer and Lynn would opt for explaining the magic of the right forearm tracing. I know Lynn would sketch the geometry of the circle on something too. LOL. No argument from me- all are machine concepts found nowhere else in golf instruction and they are better instructors then I’d ever be.
But for me, I’d tell a friend to figure out how to hit the inside rear of the golf ball with the clubface and call me in the morning to see how he did.
