"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.

uhm, lol that block bar should be on the inside tilted about an inch to the right. that'll encourage on into out swing. perfect swing with a slight 5 yard draw. Perfect swing.

One very simple but effective tip that worked for me with my over the top swing was simply loosen your grip and your entire body particularly your lower body and take as relaxed a swing as possible. No tense muscles. I know it's not directly related to the problem but it really helped me hopefully it will help a fellow over the topper.

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.

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.
