The Hula-Hoop Drill creates the feeling of the club swinging back and down along the proper plane. Begin by holding the hoop with your regular grip and the arms parallel with the ground in a backswing position. (Make sure you use a large-size hoop.) Now swing your hands to the top, making sure the hoop stays on that same plane. Then bring your hands down as you would on the downswing, still keeping the hoop on the same plane.
Stop when your hands are even with your right thigh. If your right shoulder has rotated out toward the ball, and the hoop hits your left side or comes close to hitting it, you’re over the top. Focus on moving the hoop around your shoulders so it stays on plane, and you’ll feel how to keep the club on a good inside track.
