Today I talk about an easy way to get rid of the "over the top" malady! Check it out!
The "Over the Top" move in the golf swing causes more bad shots than any other move. The over the top move is caused by the player starting the downswing with the arms and not shifting the weight to the front foot by shifting the weight over with a lateral movement of the hips. This throws the club out in front of the hands, and that is where the term "over the top" originates.
Practice starting the downswing with a lateral movement of the hips, moving the weigh from the back foot to the front foot as rapidly as you can. To understand the move even further, take an alignment stick and place it in the ground about two to three inches in front of your lead foot. As you start the downswing, try and move the hips towards the alignment stick and feel the hips bump into the stick. This will confirm to you that the hip movement is correct. The over the top move will disappear. Please be patient! This is going to take a while to work this move out of your golf swing. Perseverance is a benefit in this case!
