We've all seen people talk about out to in and in to out but is it actually possible to swing in to out or is it just in to square to in ?

I haven't a clue - You saw my swing the other week, so you'd probably be able to tell me what my swing path is, I just try and "feel" like I'm swinging in to out so I reduce the chance of swinging out to in.

i believe so. i struggle with it. you can tell by the divots what way you have come into the ball. divot pointing left is usually an out to in and divots pointing right in to out. would you agree? i know i can get my irons to fade and draw when i get these divots.

Why does no one swing out to out?

oh and sometimes i attempt to swing in to out and get a straight divot and get the ball shooting straight.

This. I was swinging massively out to in when i started my lessons, i was taught to swing in to out and so that is what i *try* to do now. At my last lesson i was told i am still ever so slightly out to in on some swings but it is getting better.
I have reached a point where it feels wrong to take the club massively outside the line, which means my bad shots are now slight cuts/pulls rather than the humongous slice i was getting before.

A lot of people seem to be trying to stop the out to in swing path.
The reason is,it causes the dreaded slice.
The shot most players are trying to achieve is a five yard draw.
However it seems a lot of pros are now looking for a fade,as they say its a lot
safer and more controlable.
I think with whatever swing path you have,the key is control.

I used to have an out to in swing path and probably still do as I hit a bit of a fade but I'm sticking with that now, just need to learn to control it. I can hit a draw if I need to which is good enough for me.
Gary, if you have an in to out and the ball is still going right then chances are you aren't releasing the club head, in other words not rotating the wrists enough.....check your grip. This is something i have also been working on with my pro over the last few weeks.

Just recently had a lesson on this as following a rcent change where I should turn hips as i was sliding a little, unfortunately this encouraged the right shoulder to get involved and I was coming over the top and hitting a vile high slice.
My pro had me standing and aiming at about 45 degrees to my left (right handed) but try and swing back and through to hit the ball straight ahead. This over-exagerates the move but certainly illustrated my fault and the ball striking was much more solid and powerful.
Just working now on adjusting it until I can get a decent straight/ slight draw ball flight.
Anymore in to out drills that are good?

your more than likely right about that. i was only made aware of this "releasing the club head" about a month and a half ago. it was like an epiphany even though i more than likely dont do this enough.
it was this mark crossfield video. i always kept my club face pointing towards the flag after impact = fade

A drill I do is the "Gateway" drill. 3 golf balls required, one in front of you (this is the one you'll be hitting), one placed about 3-4 inches to the left of that ball and slightly inside (so closer to your left foot) and then one 3-4 inches to the right of the ball and slightly outside, i.e further away from your right foot. Hope that made sense.
The idea is then to hit the ball in the middle without hitting either of the other two balls.

Sorry, I meant is it possible to get the club OUTSIDE the ball to target line, assuming the body aim is straight

Ask bobmac, he knows pretty much everything about the golf swing.

Better ?
Luke can be seen to be swinging in to sq to in.
I was just curious to hear from the slicers who are trying to swing in to out if they think it's actually possible.

i think its possible. when the divot goes to the right of target is that not a sign of an in to out swing path.
