How to stop your golf swing coming over the top: 3 drills that fix your path
Golf Studio explains why an over-the-top golf swing happens when the chest turns prematurely in the downswing. The video demonstrates three practical drills—the Pump, Trail Foot Back, and Over and Under—to help golfers drop their arms properly, shallow their swing path, and eliminate pull slices.
An over-the-top path is caused by turning the chest toward the target before letting the arms drop in the downswing transition.
Practice 'The Pump' drill by letting your hands fall to hip height twice while keeping your back turned to the target.
Pull your trail foot back at setup to promote a fuller shoulder turn and force an inside-out swing path.
Use an alignment stick in the 'Over and Under' drill to train taking the club back over the stick and shallowing under it on the way down.
