View Full Version : Coming Over the Top Swing

I just started to hit some balls at the range after a couple of years laid off and can say that I got mixed results. I noticed that I hit some good shots but they were outweighed by what I think is my swing coming over the top. How I detected this inconsistency is my shots squirted to the left and also when I placed a 'training stick' parallel to my swing below the ball, I felt that I would hit the stick (also saw that the stick moved down towards my feet). Does anyone have a training tip to help with this issue? I saw a few remedies on youtube where the issue could be where in my downswing I am rotating through my swing rather than dropping my arms down horizontal in the downswing and then rotate through the striking zone (hope this makes sense).

It could be any number of issues, I'd recommend going straight to get a lesson. Best money you'll spend, best person to ask.

Whatever Virge recommends.

I half-recall a thread about a drill using a headcover or towel under the right(?) armpit.

I like golf and I was born in 1969...lol, I know it is not very original.

I am trying that now, and I guess that is why I picked it up. I was using an imaginary towel under my armpits.

Shame all of your old posts didn't reincarnate with it.

the real goffer69 would never use a training stick nor go the range, nor watch youtube, unless it had horseys in it
