With the correct swing (righ handers), the clubface approaches the ball from inside the target line, is square at impact and moves back inside on the follow-through (inside-square-inside). A common fault is to keep the club moving outside the target line after impact (inside-out). A square clubface to the inside-out path is a push. Open clubface > a slice. Closed clubface > a hook.

An outside-in swing brings the club from outside to inside the line. Square clubface at impact > pull. Open clubface = a slice. Closed clubface > a very huge slice.

To correct the inside-out swing, simply bring the club straight back along the target line as long as possible.
