how do I stop a over the top golf swing?

Answer 1

Go to the practice range. Work on hitting the ball on an inside to outside path. Take some T's and make a path that you want your club head to go through. It's muscle memory. Just keep at it and it will come to you.

Hi there, many golfers suffer from what is called having an over the top golf swing. Exercising is the first step to taking care of yourself and improving your overall game. You should do the proper exercises and take care of yourself by make sure your body is strong and flexible, then you will ensure a better golf game despite your age. Never let anyone request you that you have to resign playing your best because of how old you are. Check Your Backswing My suggestion is from the top of the backswing, you should swing the golf club down with your arms and not your body. You must turning your upper body too early; is what causes an over the top move in the swing. If the upper body or back stays facing your target a bit longer, the golf club can swing down properly more from an inside path and you will be able to square the club up coming into impact more easily and effortlessly. In order to fix an over the top move, simply get the feel for swinging the club down with your arms as you start the downswing. This can take a little practice to get the hang of but once you start to master this move with your downswing transition, you will be amazed how much more accurate you will be with your golf shots. Hope this helps and happy golfing!

Bend your knees a little bit more and be sure to "seat yourself" so that you feel like you are pretty steady with your leg muscles. If you do this, make sure your arms are pointing straight at the ground, and keep your head DOWN, you should be able to easily overcome this. You have to stand closer to the ball when using irons. Try not to rush your swing or stand up mid-swing to hit harder.

I would suggest you keep a couple of your hardest-to-hit clubs in the car with you and accidentally go by a driving range on lunch or after work (instead of the time you would spend in traffic) and hit a small basket. Remember what felt good when you hit the ball right. The goal is to teach your body to jump into the same stance, each time and be "seated" there.

Answer 5

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.

You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

Answer 6

Slow down your swing speed and focus on a more rounded swing at contact. Try some half swings then move to full swings. Most people have this problem because they've got too many parts moving at the same time at different speeds.

Answer 7

I was recently trawling the web looking for information on how to improve my golf swing when I came across this sit ( http://as101.com/ez/bvysdqfqvgek ) offering the chance to participate for a $500 Golfsmith gift card. All I had to do was enter my zip code and follow a few quick & easy instructions. I am now the proud owner of a new set of clubs but I am still waiting for my handicap to come down!

Answer 8

Three Putt has a pretty good answer.
But I had the same problem and my uncle who is on the pga tour tried to help me... so did some of the other players (luke donald, adam scott, vijay singh) and i couldn't get it down. A couple of my cousins are PGA pros at stores or courses so i called them and i had it fixed within an hour or two. its all based on muscle movement and getting your muscles used to moving like that.
seriously, after talking to the guys on tour and my cousins who are pga pros --- you need to go get help with this because, i made the mistake of taking advice from other people and making it worse... which didn't help in the long-run.

Answer 9

Do the Vijay Singh drill.
1. Put a club down on the ground parallel to your target line
2. Stick a shaft diagonally on the ground behind you
3. Tuck a glove under your left arm (if you are right-handed)
4. Place a water bottle in front and a little bit right of your ball at address. I sometimes put the bottle behind and to the right of my ball, but VJ's bottle is always in front of his ball

VJ is actually a very nice guy. I met him on the range at a tournament one time. Anyway, his drill helped me keep the club travelling straight down my target line.

Answer 10

First go to the range.
Take only your wedges.
This helps two things.
First it makes u keep your head down.
And slow your swing.
Then the muscle memory will come in on your Drive
later. REmember when using your driver Take it back and pull through with your left arm (if you are right handed).
And slow it down
Hope this helps
