Golf — Dom Kozak

What to change

From 21 Jul 2026. Computed from 30 full swings of 128 logged — warm-up chips excluded, they were hiding it. One thing. Not six — six is a way of changing nothing.

Fix the path, not the face

16 of 17 full swings, typical -5.2°, spread 2.5°.

It causes 67% of the gap that bends your ball. The face causes 32%.

Ball finishes right of target on 22 of 30 full swings, by 11.8 yards typically.

2 wild ones in there, worst +2.6°. Counted, not deleted.

Where the video overshoots youThe drill aims at a push-draw — ball starting right, curving left. You don't need to get that far. Your path only has to come back toward zero: at 0° path your current face gives a 1.2° fade, which is as straight as golf gets.

Golf Downswing Drill | Fix Out-to-In Swing Path & Hit Straighter Shots

Transcript read in full before it was chosen. It names your exact fault in its first sentence — club path too many degrees out-to-in — then gives the cause (hands moving out toward the ball too early, shoulders opening too fast, tilting left instead of right in transition) and one drill: a second club off your trail foot at 45°, pull the hands down to match the shaft. It has a checkpoint you can measure: hands in line with the middle of the trail bicep early in the downswing. It never once tells you to close the face — which matters, because your face is already 1.2° from square and closing it would turn your fade into a hook. No sales pitch.

One session of work took the face from 6.2° to 2.9°. The data noticed before you did.

What each club actually does

Measured, not hoped for. Ordered longest first.

Is it working

path: not moving. 4.2° then, 4.8° now. You fixed the face — 6.2° to 2.9°.

Not enough data yet

3 session logged. A trend line needs at least 4 to mean anything — anything drawn now would be noise with a slope. This fills in as you play.
