Fastest Cure for Over

What cures over-the-top quickest?

Brian I know you got this . . . fastest teacher on the planet.

Line up square to target line.

Assuming you have a good grip and proper tilt, etc get divots to point to the right. If you are OTT, chances are you are taking deep divots that point left.

I think Brian had a post (perhaps about ball flight, or hitting draws?) where he said to keep everything that's 'right' under the 'left.' That is to say, keep your right shoulder under your left, etc.

For me perhaps the best swing thought is aiming for the inside aft quadrant.

The answer is in The Book.

Contrary to popular belief, The Golfing Machine does contain "How To" advice also.

I suspect you know what it is already ...

watching the Mercedes this weekend and the divots of the pros appeared to me to be pointing to the player side of the ball.

Anyone else see this?

I was talking to EC about this very thing . . . would not the part of the divot PAST low point be moving left? I mean we are talking CIRCULAR motion on an Inclined Plane?

Fix the clubface and they'll never come over the top again.

How?

Never Slice Again!

P.S> the divots are SUPPOSED to point left!

IS there a divot past low point assuming no extraneous manipulation?

There was a big discussion concerning "windshield wiper" divots a while back on somebody's forum. Can't remember which one it was. I guess the question would be where is LOW POINT as far as the ground is concerned? The deepest part of the divot? So I was thinking that the divot should not only point left but curve left too?

Low point is established as the outside edge of the left shoulder. This is the bottom of the swing arc and thus the lowest point of clubhead travel. The clubhead can only move up and left from this point. We want to ideally strike the ball before low point and then take a divot.

If we strike the ball before low point, the clubhead still has to move down/out/forward to low point. The 'out' means that the clubhead travels to the right (away from the player). Wouldn't this cause the divot to be taken out to the right as well?

Impact -> clubhead out to low point -> low point.

I figure that this progression would produce a divot that points to the right, no?

Based on the above in bold . . . would the intial divot point right and after the lowest point point left as the club exits the ground? Hence the windshield wiper look?

Correct, but from low point the club comes out of the ground to the left, so the divot will appear symmetrical and look straight.

 

[MizunoJoe]

Even the flattest swings are very vertical and produce straight divots, so if the divot looks like a windshield wiper, then there is a bent plane line.

How's that work? Make sense that after low point club comes out of the ground and left . . . but how does it get symmetrical and straight?

Thanks!
