well hey everybody and welcome back to
my channel are you a golfer that
struggles with coming over the top okay
you’ve been trying and trying you can’t
quite get it fixed well I’ve got a very
unique little drill or little practice
method that I want you to try and it’s
going to feel awful at the beginning
trust me um you’re going to go I don’t
understand this I don’t know how this is
going to work but trust me if you’ll
stay in here and you’ll do this little
exercise for a continued period of time
it’s going to really give you the feel
of what an in toout path is and it’s
going to help you learn to hit the ball
solid and then once we get all of that
done we can add a little pivot work to
it which is going to straighten our golf
ball out okay so let’s jump in here and
let’s get into this little drill and let
me show you what it’s all about so I
don’t need to explain an over-the-top
you’re an over-the-top person you
understand it you know that your club’s
coming down way over the top you’re
getting that club going way too far left
and you’ve got an open Club face and it
causes a shot that starts left and
curves to the right or if you actually
get your Club face Square to the path
you’re going to hit a big dead pull okay
so one of the problems that I always see
with my students and why I it’s so
difficult for him to change is you
really have to do something completely
opposite
here in order to get a feel you know
when we try and change something in the
golf swing we make a little bitty small
change and it feels like a big change so
to go from Over the Top to coming at
that ball from the inside is a huge huge
change and when you go fast or when you
go full speed and when you try and hit
good shots it’s next to impossible to do
so here’s what I want you to do I’ve got
just a little setup here I’ve got a
stick laying on the ground so y’all can
see where I’m aimed it’s got me aimed
out here to the red flag now I’ve put
another stick in the
ground out here probably
30° to the right of where I am going to
be
aiming and that’s where I want to hit
pit shots too okay I’m going to get in
here and I’m going to make some very
small very soft swings okay if you want
to put the ball on a te be go ahead put
the ball on a te it might even help you
out but I want to aim with my alignment
stick here on my target line and I want
to look up here with my eyes over here
to the right and I just want to stand
here and hit pit shots very softly over
there to the
right just like that now you’re going to
have trouble with this when you first
start off because it’s going the the the
direction of the Swing the swing path is
going to feel so awkward and so radical
okay but don’t worry about it if you’re
not hitting the ball solid right off the
bat okay stay in there stay very slow
stay very
soft and just keep hitting pit shots
over there until you can hit the ball
solid now when you have that over-the
toop path that has the open Club face
now if you and you make this swing if
you come into the ball this way with an
open Club face you’re going to
see a really bad shot over there to the
right so I want you to pay attention to
the club face here making sure that that
club face is at least Square to the path
on this little pit
shot
now why do my golfers when I try and get
them to do this why don’t they like this
drill well with their over-the-top swing
with the Open Face they hit slic and
they’re already hitting the ball over
there to the right and now I’ve got them
swinging over there to the right
and they’re going wait a minute BRZ I
already hit the ball over there why do I
want to swing over there well we’ve got
to get this in toout path feeling and
learn to hit that ball solid so that we
can then learn to square our club face
up and rotate our body more which is
going to hit that ball straight so let
me switch camera angles here and let’s
talk about the pivot a minute so from
this angle you’re going to really be
able to see how much I’m swinging
almost not to the camera but very much
out there to the right and not online so
one more little one here before we go
on so solid so again keep standing there
hitting little pit shots over there to
the right at about a 30° angle till you
can hit it solid
now my students always say well this is
great but I’m still hitting the ball to
the right we got to learn to use our
pivot now and we got to learn to let our
pivot go forward and learn to let our
arms rotate a little bit with that pivot
to square this ball up cuz trust me when
you go with this ball a little bit
harder and a little bit bigger you’re
not going to swing that far to the right
so now if I can stand in here feel like
I’m swinging out there to the right but
let my chest turn and let my arms rotate
I should then be able to start hitting
the golf
ball and getting it more line that one
came about halfway to the Target okay so
let me do it
again keep feeling in out let my chest
and arms
rotate okay that one got almost dead
online okay so this is what I want you
to do after you’ve learned to swing in
to out drastically and hit the ball
solid now let’s add some pivot and let’s
add a little rotation of our arms and
let’s change the direction of that golf
ball okay now that you’ve seen me hit
some little soft ones over there to the
right let me show you from this angle
what it looks like when I add the pivot
and add a little rotation of my arms so
again I’m going to keep feeling like I’m
swinging to the right I’m going to
rotate my chest more and rotate my arms
a little
more okay A little bit fat but the ball
was dead
online and again folks this is using an
EXT extreme to fix an extreme okay down
the road at the end result you’re not
going to swing this far into out but
you’ve got to learn what it feels like
to swing in out and you’ve got to learn
what it feels like to get that club face
to rotate and get your body to
rotate now if I could hit them all like
that on the golf course it would be
great cuz that was a laser beam okay one
more time keep feeling myself just stay
with this stay patient keep doing this
little exercise keep using this little
practice method okay in to out rotate
chest and
arms look at that nice little draw right
at the Target
there so there’s something a little
unique for you something a little bit
different that’s going to give you the
feel of what it’s like to come at that
ball from in to out give this a try okay
