Comment "TQ" to learn the setup secret that can fix your over the top and slicing! Start with your

PGA instructor Rob Cheney demonstrates how to fix an over-the-top swing and slicing by mastering trail arm external rotation at setup. Using 'The Connector' training aid, he shows how maintaining 'Position 3' through the 90-90-90 drill prevents the arms from rolling and ensures a consistent club path.

• Set your trail arm in Position 3 (external rotation) at setup to avoid swinging across the ball.
• Use a visual aid like The Connector to ensure the rod points slightly to the right of the target.
• The 90-90-90 drill helps transport your setup arm alignments into the rest of your swing.
• Internal rotation of the trail arm during the swing is a primary cause of erratic contact and direction.
• Check your finish position: the rod should still be tilted right, not pointing left.
