Drill for Correcting an Over the Top Golf Swing

Video Transcript

On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Ray Boone and I run the Ray Boone Golf Academy at the beautiful Miami Beach Golf Club. Today I'd like to present to you the topic of the over the top golf swing. Okay, we're at the top of the swing again, we've got our angle set, right wrist is bent back and from this position the club should work downward. So we want to work downward on the down swing, we don't want the club to ever go outside, never working the shoulders over. We want the shoulders to work underneath down where you can feel like you're pointing the club straight down. Again, initiating with the legs and I'm drawing a little configuration on the ground here, something I use as an exaggeration. We wouldn't really swing this much from the inside or loop it that much, but it's great for players that have been over the top for a long time, this drill will help to correct it. So you're basically swinging the club back on the painted line, on the target line. You're going up to the top, you're then dropping the club on the inside so that your club head is now tracing the inside line into the golf ball. Again, that's an exaggeration but it will help get you rid of that old over the top move that you had forever.
