Re: outswing

The first thing is to check your wrist at ideally it should be behind the ball at release. Also, try moving your thumb either onto the centre of the seam or to the side - this can have a big effect on the amount of swing gained.

Yeah, I changed my thumb position last week just to see what the difference was and boom, there's outswing!!

All I'd add to that would be the stuff about bringing your arm to your left armpit in the follow through (or at least to you left knee type direction). Make sure you still keep you arm upright though.
