Get a laser on both ends of a club, and keep it pointing to your targetline
get a heavy club, and let it show you how to 'swing', let it 'fall' and don't rush it at all (feel like you swing in slow motion, so your hands and chest stay in synch.
Rotate your lead forearm hard, while you keep your focus on the 'swing' and the 'plane'
Think Target and react to it.
Focus on balance, always.

Because you are the center of a swinging force, and when that center moves in the wrong way, you break down the swing.
Think of a rock on a string swinging in a circle. You can spin it around a lot faster, and in a more true way, if your hand stays centered, and any movement of it 'supports' the swing and flows with it. Move that hand around in the wrong way, and your swinging string breaks down instantly.
Same goes (in a general way) for the body center in the golf swing. It can move, but it must not break down that 'string' of the swinging club by moving in the wrong way, and not 'flowing' with the swinging force.
When you stay balanced, you stay in the 'center' of that swinging club, and to quote Moe "your swing will balance you", you 'flow' with the swinging club, back and through, and your plane and path will be more consistent.
Look at Snead, or Stewart.... they 'swing' that string (the club) and let the rotation of the body, forearms, stay in synch. They 'flow' with the force of the swinging club. They let the club balance them by not moving against it, but with it.
I know you know this ragman.... so why do you ask?
OK... I should clarify that then.... when you are swinging well, your swing will balance you. So, for the most part, if you are in balance, you ARE swinging well (and I mean truly in balance, not 'almost'). It's quite hard to be consistent if you aren't in balance.
On plane, in balance, good setup = good golf
On plane, in balance, good setup = good golf

300...my SLICE CURE article PDF is late from the publisher...it has 90% of all of the fix for these two problems
There are numerous drills to correct over the top swing fault.Pump drill,keep back facing the target on downswing etc,etc and they all work.Unfortunately(for me anyway,can't speak for others) once you hit the course and put your swing in auto mode,you start coming over the top again.It's a natural move.
Thats why I think "hit the inside quadrant of the ball" is a great swing thought.It gets the club swinging from the inside and it's a thought you can take out onto the course.The ball should always be the focus,not the back or the shoulders or dropping the arms.Too mechanical.
