  • "Swing down the line". What every instructor teaches--right. That' dead wrong. If you try to put the club head on the target line before contact, you will come over the top every time. You are the first instructor I have seen to correctly teach that the player is actually swinging out to the right of the target. The "swing down the line" theory is a myth. The club head is only on the target line for a few inces during the swing. Please explain further. Maybe provide some drills? Thanks.

  • Practice trying to hit a driver to the right of the target and hav it draw back. Easy swings of course. The shots intitial direction must go right of target then draw back. A driver has less loft and will really show sidespin well even on easier swings. Otherwise have tees in front of the ball a little to the right and try to t=hit the tee after the ball. Imagining a clock and swinging from 7 to 1 oclock works well also. The key is keepin gyour arms extended.

  • It's nice to have an instructive video of golf when the guy is aiming right at trees. (yes, I know it's not the point, but still)

  • Buy a better mic. The sound of the wind blowing is annoying as shit.

  • @homer1co - Finally, someone who now what they are talking about, Thank You.

  • As much as I hate these fucking experts village videos, the training aid shown here is the only thing that has helped me with my over the top move. Grab a FedEx long shipping box and use it 'til you smash it beyond repair and hopefully you'll eventually stop smashing the box.

  • this helps greatly for slicers
