Why overswinging leads to poor contact #golfswing #golftips

Meandmygolf demonstrates the 'Pause at the Top' drill, famously used by Tiger Woods and Butch Harmon to combat overswinging. By coming to a complete stop before the downswing, golfers can better control their swing length and improve overall contact consistency.

• Overswinging often feels powerful but leads to a significant loss of control and poor ball striking.
• The 'Pause Drill' involves stopping the club at the top of the backswing before hitting the ball.
• This technique helps golfers feel the proper swing length and improves downswing sequencing.
• Tiger Woods used this specific drill early in his career to gain more control over his driver.
