Below if you want to support Channel I’ve got a list of affiliate links if you’re looking at any of those products I will offer you the best price down there use those links today’s drill is going to address people who want to go this way as well people who want to come

Over the top giving it those kind of horrible way cuts off to the right those ideas you know you’ve practiced everything you’ve watched every video you’ve tried laying down and all manner of things you’ve tried but you just can’t stop coming over the top like it’s frustrating I know I get lessons they

Say the same I’ve tried L don’t work I’ve tried things it doesn’t work this drill shifts the needle for golfers and what I love about it is the Simplicity of it so what we’re going to do is we’re going to try and make sure from the top

Of your back swing you’re not too quick to open up your shoulders this is a common problem we see with golfers where they try to really open up their shoulders quick Club goes out this way then their shoulders stall and they Chuck those arms and Club forwards getting crunched and lost down impact

That’s where the mess happens so we need to change the order of this down swing we need the order of the down swing to be a little bit more that from the top that you feel like you’re actually going this way where you hold on to your closed Target shoulders for a fraction

Of a second later allowing the clubs just to club and the arms I should say just to drop on this better path and then you let go that’s what we see from the better players and I see it time and time again from the gear system that I

Have access to with the guys at JD Golf Academy where we’re measuring real students and we’ve got Pro dator to show the difference in these two movements which you can see coming up here it’s just common and in so many lessons and if you want to get on the JD Golf

Academy you want to get on their gear system I’ll put uh their number down below because if you want a proper lesson that’s such a good system to get on so by using measured data and this is data built around drills that we’ve used that have changed students and they’ve

Used at JD Golf Academy and changed students numbers this drills having huge effects for people so what I want you to do it’s so simple we’re just going to hover the club the ball to start us off so I’m addressing the ball but I’m not

Going to hit this ball I’m going to go top of the back swing and stop then from here I’m going to drop my trail hand off and I’m going to actually drop it down behind me so I’m going to go here drop this hand behind me and then I’m going

To swing as hard as I can with lead hand and arm so basically you need to be comfortable swinging your Club as quick as you can with your body and just your lead arm on so make sure this shoulder is stretched so if you do this without stretching this will hurt the shoulder

So make sure this is warmed up if it feels a little bit heavy the club don’t be afraid to hold down the handle helps get a bit more weight out the top both hands on up to the top drop this arm down and then swing it as hard as you

Can now what this does is it makes the shoulder turn stutter on the down swing so by going up here dropping this hand off makes your shoulders hang on for a split second and as you do that so for me I’m timing that from about here up so

I’m trying do it almost as I finish my back swing dropping it down to keep this closed and then as I swing everything’s set where I don’t have to think about the path it’s just going to come this way now what I want you to do and I want

You to be really careful with this is I want you to do it your way but with one hand on so we’re going to try and go over the top the wrong way I’m going to move the ball out the way for this CU

This is harder so if I go up to the top and stop take one hand off and then come this way you can even take one hand off and kind of move it that way if it helps you feel it like this just feels so

Crazy with one arm on like it does it just does not make any sense it feels like the club’s going to crash into me it makes no sense what happens when you’ve got two hands on is you can go this way and because you’ve got more

Control of the falling Club you know the mass as it’s pulling and falling down it’s hard to control it but with two hands on you do feel like you got more power to do your manipulations to get into your impact positions you know these crunched up thrusted forward

Horrible imp packs where we see the crashes but with one arm on as long as we have that first movement where the club just wants to go this way by your shoulders staying a little bit more closed that club just Falls and kind of swings Out to the Ball it just swings

Out more naturally because you haven’t got the control but you’ve set the theme in a much better place and this is what good players are feeling over the amateur the good players are not feeling like they go this way they just do things in the order of their Dan swing

That make it go that way without them thinking about it and this drill does it for you without you having to think too much about it so I’m going to address this ball up to the top and stop just drop this arm down swinging through just get the feeling of that and

Then I’m going to try and put that feeling into a shot nice neutral stripe maybe yard a drawer like it now this is the kicker this is where this drill is really good let’s pretend I’m on the tea just about to hit this shot so I’m not practicing I’m actually playing now we

All do practice things before we play don’t we we all hopefully do a practice swing I often do mine behind the ball I would do this drill in the practice swing drop down Swing Out drop down Swing Out step into my shot and then apply those same feelings I mean look

For me it actually starts exaggerating a draw cuz I’m relatively neutral it’s making me drop more inside and it’s the seamless application between shot and practice which for many golfers is letting them feel what this feels like you can take this hand off drop it down and swing you can actually swing the

Trail arm as well out if you want to if it makes it feel more natural but what you won’t do with one hand on the club is stand up and come this way cuz it will just feel like you are going to crash and we want less crashes I also

Want you to hit your driver like way further you want 50 20 extra yards here you go watch this one it’ll just deliver it to you you’re welcome

  1. This is a great idea for a drill and I can't wait to try it after work. Mark, is there agreement among golf professionals on why the over the top swing is so common? I find it so interesting that golfers all over the world tend to have the same swing fault, which suggests to me it is "natural" to swing over the top…albeit incorrect.

  2. Never thought the day would come…but I’m going to have to unsubscribe. Thank you for all the videos over the years. You’ve been my favourite YouTuber/ coach. I just can’t deal with repetitive swing fix videos every day. I understand you’re probably just doing it to make a living but I’m so gutted 😢
    Good luck with the channel 🙂
