Your swing really isn't "inside out". The plane is down, out, and forward. You are swinging on plane. The plane continues downward, outward, and forward until low point which is IN FRONT of the ball. Since it is in front of the ball, you have to contact the ball while you are still traveling down, out, and forward and continue doing so until you reach low point. A push is a sign that the clubface has been left open.

The Golfer stands on the attic floor.
His torso and head stick out of the roof in a hole cut for him.
The full length of the clubshaft lays flat on the roof.
The clubface is perpendicular to the roof ('cutting through' it).
The ball is on the first shingle.
As the club swings away from the ball on the backstroke, the clubhead goes up the roof and in toward the peak of the roof (and the golfer).
The clubface turns toward the roof during this backstroke.
The clubshaft and clubface (which is now 90 degrees open to its original position) rests on the roof at the top of the swing.
The clubhead travels down the roof and out from the 'peak' (and out from the golfer) toward the ball.
The clubface begins to roll back toward perpendicular (square).
The ball is contacted while the face is still open and the clubhead is still traveling down and out (inside-out from the golfer).
The ball 'sticks' to the club for 3/4th's of an inch while the clubhead is STILL moving 'inside-out' and down.
The ball leaves the face when the face has finally squared up and the ball flies straight.
The clubhead CONTINUES down and OUT until it makes a divot by cleaning out the gutter.
The clubhead then comes back in toward the 'peak" as well as up.
But the clubhead NEVER came off the roof (inside-out stroke) or into the attic (outside-in stroke).

No....DDL...
Low Point is scraping the metal in the gutter!
Low Point is scraping the metal in the gutter!
Most non-TGM trained players envision the ball as the low point when they address it, and it's exactly why they don't take proper divots. The down and out Impact of an on-plane clubhead is one of the GREAT revelations of TGM. And, it's probable, but NOT CERTAIN that the PGA's own expert, Gary Wiren, understands it.

True Joe.
It really is a simple concept, though.
