Guys,

I have a tournament this weekend and am playing horrible. I can't seem to stop taking the club outside on the way back and this is causing a really laid off position at the top. Any advice would really be appreciated. Thanks. Kermitm

Being laid off is a result of over rotating your left arm in the backswing. You can do that with an outside/on plane/inside takeaway. You need to figure out how to stop doing that.

I have the same problem. I just try to take my hands straight back with a sharp hip turn.

If your left wrist is flat and you cant fix the laid off just turn the whole left arm wedge down to the ground thru impact. Laid off can be a good place to be sometimes.

Been outside, too

Brian´s recent suggestion that you should keep the distance constant between butt of club and your navel in the BS really helped me...

yup and Sergio Garcia, Bart Bryant, Brett wettereich and insure more. But guess what they ate professionals with a lot of talent on IMO the one one who is consistent out of the bunch is Garcia. However people on this site don't have that type talent and most likely won't play their best golf from a laid off position.

I'm just guessing here, but being laid-off makes it VERY hard to swing to the right, no? Hence the reason it can be harmful to a lot of golfers.

I don't think it makes it "very hard" to swing to the right, you just need to make more compensations to do so. And, at least in my experience, these compensations make it very easy to get underneath the sweetspot.

actually people who end up being laid TEND to swing to far right because they are dangerously close to laggig the hosel and will swing more to the right cuz they are under the sweetspot to an extent.

Being laid off, just like the neutral grip so advocated on this forum, will teach you to roll the lead arm to impact. Across the line makes alot of golfers, good and bad, work back under the sweetspot to get it back on plane.
