The Golf Overswing FIXED with one simple DRILL

Mark Crossfield (AskGolfGuru) demonstrates how to eliminate a golf overswing by focusing on body rotation rather than arm pull. He introduces a lead-arm-only drill designed to make the club feel heavy, forcing the shoulders to lead the movement. By using the 'shirt button' visualization to create space, golfers can achieve a fuller turn and more consistent ball striking.

• Turn the lead shoulder down toward the trail foot to initiate a full body rotation.
• Avoid pulling the lead arm across the chest, as this leads to a weak, disconnected swing.
• Let the weight of the club dictate the pace; a heavy-feeling club encourages the use of larger shoulder muscles.
• Visualize your chest/shirt buttons 'outrunning' your arm swing to maintain width and space.
• Practice by 'bleeding' the drill into a full shot to transfer the feel to your real swing.
