Are you sick of seeing over the top swing instruction videos? There are so many of them out there. There's a lot of verbiage on there. There's a lot of good ideas. However, you know, you may still be struggling with this. And the reason is, is we have we can get these quick fixes that will work for a little bit.

But we don't build a foundation of making sure that we build a habit of not coming over the top. Now, in this lesson, I want to give you just the ultimate over the top fix. It literally guarantees that you won't come over the top if you execute what we're going to be talking about, of course. But the other thing that this is great for is going to give you something in the future as a tool to use.

If you do start getting over the top and you can snap out of it immediately. So what that thing is, is we are going to talk about the dynamics of what coming over the top is. Just real quick. So if we draw a plain line up through the house of the club, up through the base of the elbow, that's going to be our plain line over the top would be when the club head gets over this plane, it would be over top of the plane.

This is going to net effect us swinging to the left. If we get under that plane, that's going to net effect us swinging to the right. So understanding the over under of the plane very first and foremost, is that important? So if we didn't understand that up to this point, then we got to make sure we get a good grasp on that.

Now, how do we guarantee that we're not going to come over top of the plane of the plane? Well, one of my go to drills, especially when I have players struggling with this and they tell me I've had online students they're like, I've never had an instructor that's been able to get me to come over the top. And we literally do it in one or two lessons because it is just that powerful.

And that is when we get up to the top of the swing, we are going to make our entire swing with the feel that are back is going to stay towards the target the entire time. It literally is that simple. But we're going to make sure we understand the dynamics of how the club head gets underneath the plane while doing this.

So if I keep my back to the target, the entire time and I were to actually do this and we're going to get into this here in one second, so stick with me when I go to the back, my back to the target and I would actually leave my back to the target, it would be very difficult for me to come over the top.

So you're your propensity to come underneath the plane is going to go up 1000000% when you're keeping your back to the target. So I've got my back to the target. If I keep my back to the target, I'm going to come away way from the inside. So what I want to do here, this is going to get a little bit dicey right here on the simulator, but it is going to be very, very prevalent.

I'm going to very much do my best to keep my back towards the target the entire time. And we're going to be taking a good look at that club path number OK, so as we can see there, that's 11.2 degrees to the right. That's a very, very severe into our path, which is the exact opposite of an over the top path.

So let's go ahead and just do a get over the top paths just so we could see one of those on camera. So this one, I'm going to do the exact opposite instead of keeping my back to the target the whole time, I'm going to immediately get my back away from the target. So I'm up at the top and I'm going to get the back away from the target.

So you can see really overexaggerated but swung that way to the left. I probably could have gone a little bit more, but we like to keep things nice around here. Anyways, keeping the back to the target is going to do two things. It's going to make it much easier to feel coming from the inside. Secondly, it's going to put an obstruction in our way.

It's going to make us have to swing in to out because to try to swing over the top, we're going to be in our own way. We cannot actually swing over and over the top unless we get out of our own way. So this is going to be the first thing. The second thing is, is when you're swinging somewhat normal.

So I'm going to need you to use just a little bit of common sense when you start use utilizing this feel when you start swinging a little bit. Well, just kind of a normal swing with the feel of keeping your back to the target. Your back will actually stay towards the target. This is just a sensation to make it very simple to make sure that we're swinging a little bit out.

So now I'm just going to be kind of an easy swing here because I've got a great dispersion here on my shots already, easy swing with my back facing what's going to feel as if my back's facing the target the entire time.

OK, so there we could see I felt like my back, my back was facing the target the entire time, 7.9 to the right. So that's a little bit more in the out than I want to, but it's guaranteeing that I'm not coming over the top. But as you can see from the swing, I didn't come over the top at all.

I got pretty good hit on the ball, pretty good direction. And that's the main thing. Once we can get that club head underneath the plane, then we can start squaring this up and hitting hitting at our target. If we come over the plane and we square it up, we're going to hit it dead left, just like I did there in that over the top example.

So what we're going to do is we're going to get real comfortable getting up to the top of the swing and getting the back of our back or getting her back. Like if there was a laser beam shooting us directly through our center chest and we will return, that laser beam is pointing literally at our target, that's going to be the feel that it stays there the entire time.

And then from there, we're going to guarantee a very easy path underneath the plane.

Now, there we go. That was my sensation, feeling my back towards the target. As you can see, 6.7 degrees to the right. Not bad left the clubface open just a little bit, but I'm still on the green, still putting for birdie. Now, I can guarantee you, if you keep your back towards the target and you feel and you feel this sensation as you're coming down and you just make it relatively normal, comfortable swing, you're going to start coming from the inside, no problem.

But if I could actually see what's going on in your swing and seeing how you're coming down and see you with my own two eyes, we could get to the squaring up this ball squaring up the clubface with the ball with the right path at like lightning speed. So if you're seeing this video right now, we actually have an opportunity to do that.

That means that there are spots available in my unlimited review group where you can work one on one directly with me online so if you click on the button below this video, you'll be able to see if I still have spots opened up. They do tend to sell out very quickly. So if they are sold out, make sure you join the waiting list so that you're notified next time that I do have spots available in my group, I'm very excited to possibly getting to work with you and I will talk to you here soon.
