Steven shows you that swinging "Over the Top" might be a lower body problem (Especially for you who like to swing with a TWO PLANE style). This "pump" drill will help you sequence your downswing properly. www.mcdanielgolf.com

  • Almost every chronic over the top swing is caused by the back swing and not the down swing. Usually an over the top swing is low and inside like a baseball swing which leaves players badly out of position at the top of their backswing forcing them to come over the top in an attempt to get back on the proper plane. The best advice I can give is swing like you're chopping down on a piece of wood. Exaggerate this motion by extending your left hand as high as you can at the top of your backswing.

  • @jeffmagic32 Thanks for the input. Where are you a golf professional? Thanks.

  • Absolutely great instruction video. I've tried the drill and this has completely stopped my over the top swing. Great video and easy to follow, many thanks

  • @colincrt You got it! Glad it helped!

    

  • Great lesson! I am doing the same thing however my local pro is working on my posture first then I hope to shallow out the swing. It's pretty demoralising this, as i could hit shanks and lose my swing completely with this problem.

  • @MrSknut Well, keep at it! There is no failure, only feedback. If you shank it, then you should know why. Good luck! / Steven

  • Once again Steven a great video. I have worked hard on all of your tips/drills that you gave me last year and I am seeing big improvements. It seems like I was just writing you about the weather being good for golf again and now it's probably snowing again there. Time flies. I will send you some new videos when I get some time. Thanks again for all your excellent instruction Steven and happy holidays!

  • This will cause you to swing down on the ball creating a divot instead of sweeping at it. It's very hard to come over the top when your backswing is already at the top. Another tip to include is pretend there's an imaginary wall that is leaning against the right side of your ball and if you are coming over the top you will hit the wall before the ball. Or you can even place a club or any object just to the right of the ball and try to avoid hitting it.

  • @FullMoonHill Great to hear! / Steven
