over the top

[mc4jc2003]

brian,
I appreciate the help that you gave me earlier.. i shot one under today and it seems to have helped my swing. one question though.. it seems the up the wall down the wall left of the wall swing is a swing close to coming over the top. am i wrong in this asumption and if i am what can i do to attack the ball better. i dont want to come from the inside to much but then also dont want the dreaded over the top. thanks

Yes, this pattern is prone to 1) coming over the top 2) pulling the ball.

What to practice to keep from doing that:

You must practice letting the club DROP. Get to the top of your swing and let it DROP into the ground without moving anything else. Just let it DROP into the ground about 3-4 feet behind the ball. Once you get the feeling of that, PIVOT INTO THE BALL.

As long as you DROP, then PIVOT....you won't come over the top.

If you move the shoulder, THEN drop...you're over the top and you'll either pull it dead left and/or pull slice it if you hold off.

have you seen Brian's video short on the subject? His "Never Hook Again" video? If so, go back and review that, he goes over this drill.
