If you’re struggling with a swing that consistently comes over the top, causing slices and other errant shots, I’ve got just the drill for you. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through a simple but effective drill that can help you eliminate that dreaded over-the-top motion and develop a more on-plane swing.First, grab a golf club and head to the driving range or your local practice area. The key to this drill is to focus on your body rotation and keeping the club on the proper swing path.Start by setting up with your feet shoulder-width apart and your weight evenly distributed. As you take the club back, focus on keeping your head still and allowing your shoulders to rotate fully. Avoid the temptation to lift or sway your head, as that can often lead to an over-the-top move.At the top of your backswing, pause for a moment and feel the club pointing slightly to the right of your target line (for right-handed golfers). This is the position you want to strive for - a club shaft that’s more in line with your target rather than pointed across the line.Now, as you start your downswing, focus on turning your hips and letting your arms and club follow the rotation of your body. Imagine your hips and chest leading the way, with your arms and club lagging slightly behind. This will help keep the club on a more inside-out swing path and prevent that dreaded over-the-top move.Remember to take it slow and focus on the feel of the proper body rotation. It may take some time and practice to ingrain this new swing motion, but I promise it will be worth it. Give this drill a try and let me know if you see improvement in your ball striking and shot shape. Happy golfing!
