Golf — Dom Kozak

What to change

From 17 Jul 2026. Computed from 41 full swings of 53 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

32 of 33 full swings, mean -4.2°, spread 2.1°.

It causes 77% of the gap that bends your ball. The face causes 22%.

Ball finishes right of target on 23 of 41 full swings, by 14.2 yards on average.

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.

Six shots said one thing. Fifty-three said another.

Is it working

path: new. First session this fault has led.

Not enough data yet

1 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.

The log

Every stroke TrackMan saw, pulled from the session report. A dash means it wasn't tracked — recorded as missing rather than guessed.
