If you’ve been fighting an over-the-top golf swing and nothing seems to fix it, there’s a good reason. You’ve probably been working on the symptom instead of the cause.
Erika Larkin is joined by Coach Megan Johnston, Director of Instruction at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri, to walk through the three root causes of an over-the-top swing that show up before the downswing even begins.

The fundamentals in that guide are exactly what prevent these root causes from showing up in the first place.
You’ll learn:
– Why poor posture is often the first domino that makes an over-the-top move almost inevitable, and how a C posture or rounded spine restricts rotation so severely that the swing has no choice but to go all arms
– How misalignment silently causes your brain to self-correct toward the target by pulling the club across the body, creating an over-the-top path without you ever consciously choosing it
– Why an arms-first backswing collapses the swing structure and traps the club so deep and narrow behind the body that coming over the top is the only way to recover
– How the belly drill and the step swing sequencing drill train the body and arms to work together in the takeaway so the club stays in front and on plane
– Why fixing posture, alignment, and backswing sequence eliminates the over-the-top move without ever having to directly address the downswing
