Exclamation Help with outside to in swingpath

I just went down to my local golf retailer to buy a new driver as I have a consistent large fade with any shot with it. Its a Ping G2 with 65g stiff Aldila shaft. My swing speed varies between 100 and 110. However when I went on the golf swing analyser, evry shot I hit was outside to in from between 6 degrees and 12 degrees?!?! thus causing my fade due to the large amount of sidespin I inpart on the ball.

I recently had a lesson with my local pro who said my swing was fine but I had a lazy left hand and am working on showning 3 knucles at address but is there any further advice anyone can give me as I am becoming increasingly frustrated with missing right.

Thanks

Try dropping the club on the downswing.

A thought to promote this, if you are right handed, is to drop the right shoulder under the left shoulder on the downswing. Another good one is, try to hit your right elbow into your right hip on the downswing.

This works for me, I try to keep my right elbow tucked into my side on the downswing and this keeps me straight to a draw.

got a great tip straightened my drive put your golf ball on the tee with logo pointing to hall,turn the ball slightly to the right so that thelogo at the clubface changes from 3 o clock to 4 o clock this use this logo as a guide for angle of takeaway slightly in and follow through using logo as guide slightly out

This works for me, 1st make sure you are holding the grip in your fingers not your palm.2nd, when you start your turn, keep the club low to the ground and let your shoulders hinge your wrist not you. Hope this helps.

Take your normal stance and then put your right food back about 6". This will force you to swing from the inside.
Having said that, these are quick fixes and don't resolve your problem. Better solution see a pro.

Using this tip though can help to get the feel for the swing, when you tee up normall. Just to reproduce the feeling

Yes, the right foot back drill will help you groove the feeling and promote muscle memory. Also the 50% drill will work as well.... 50% drill is the one where you take your normal swing but with 50% of the normal power. The whole idea is to slow thing down so you can concentrate on making good contact and be on a good swing plane. Most people aren't disiplined enough to do this for more than two shots (Some days I'm like this as well), but it does a great job in helping you relax and keeps everything slow enough for you to be able to feel what's going on.

Another quick fix drill.
Practice with the ball above your feet. This promotes a flatter swing plane and an inside swing path.
