Stop "Coming Over The Top" Forever

Coming "Over The Top" is a very big issue for many golfers. It is one of the 3 major "Death Moves" and is most frustrating to any golfer.

Coming over the top is the term used to describe a downswing that is generated as an "outside - in" swing. The shoulders usually turn first sending the hands and arms to the outside of your target line. This usually causes the face of the club to remain open while coming into the impact zone. As you swing the club from the outside, it is like you are cutting across the ball with the open face which generally ends up as a slice. If you are able to close the face with your hands as you enter the impact zone, it will most likely result in a pull of hook shot. All of these conditions are not good for your golf game

In the following video, I demonstrate and explain the action called over the top and present a training process that will cure you of that after a very short time.  I am using the GolfGym PowerSWING Plus unit attached to my driver.  It can be attached to any club. For demonstration purposes, the driver works best.

Play Golf - An Oxymoron?

When we were kids we used to play with balls, play in the sand, play in the water and get grass stained knees while frolicking in the green stuff with friends. We didn't care how large the sandbox was or if it rained or not, and we didn't get all tensed up when we had to plunge our plastic mini-shovel deep into the sand to chuck a huge pile of it onto our playmate. We simply played and had lots of fun.

For those of us who have taken up the game of golf....the words sand, water and thick grass strike fear in the deepest recesses of our minds.  OK, that's slightly dramatic, but there is truth to it.

When most people think of "Play" they don't necessarily equate that fun experience to "Golf". So why do we say "Play Golf" or "Play Golf America".  That phrase is supposed to elicit thoughts of enjoyment, fun, friendship and fulfillment. Does it for you?

How about we try to bring some fun back into your experience with golf, or at least some fun in the way you prepare yourself for your golf game.  That's right....it is, after all, a game.

Here are two movements/drills/exercises (exercises sounds like work...this is not work) to have fun with, not be tense about, and for sure, put a smile on your face while performing them. Hey, maybe they will even help your golf game....just a thought.

Have fun with these two Balance Ball drills...and have more fun on the golf course.  Remember to: PLAY Golf!
