Why You STILL Swing Over The Top (After Trying Everything)
Andy from Meandmygolf details why golfers continue to swing over the top despite trying numerous technical tips. By fixing three hidden root causes—a weak grip leading to an open club face, a lack of objective swing feedback, and aiming too far right on the course—golfers can systematically correct their swing path and eliminate their slice.
Fix your club face before path: An open club face forces your brain to swing over the top to keep the ball from slicing further right.
Strengthen your lead hand grip: Ensure 2 to 3 knuckles are visible at address with the lead thumb positioned slightly right of center.
Allow the ball to pull left initially: Embracing left-going shots after a grip change gives your mind permission to swing out to the right.
Use an intermediate target: Aim the club face first over a spot a few feet in front of the ball before setting your feet.
