Over the Top? Try this drill and fix it forever #golfdrills #overthetop #golfslice
SM Golf Coaching demonstrates the Split Hand Drill to permanently fix the 'over the top' move and eliminate a golf slice. By separating the hands on the club, golfers can feel the correct downswing plane and ensure the club approaches the ball from the inside.
The 'over the top' move is caused by the upper body lunging and the club path moving out-to-in.
Splitting your hands on the grip helps isolate the feeling of the club head dropping behind you.
Focus on the trail arm tucking toward the ribs during the start of the downswing.
Practice this exaggerated feel to shift your club path from left-to-right (slice) to right-of-target (draw).
