How to Fix an Over the Top Swing with Dave Phillips | Golf Tips | Titleist

u/Illustrious-Ratio213 2024 · r/GolfSwing · in “My friend can’t fix his slice”

I really like this video because it identifies a physical issue that might cause someone to come over the top. Your buddy probably doesn't have that though since he looks very flexible. Either way, one of these will help but preferably use the second way because added hand depth (which he needs) can also be problematic. ▶ this video

Well then it just isn’t as obvious to me. There isn’t a major plane change or right shoulder movement was my point. The club face is cutting across the all because the swing is all arms. It’s an out to in path for sure, but to me it isn’t that much over the top. ▶ this video. Anyway OP, there’s a good link. It shows a very emphasized OTT motion, but more importantly talks about hip rotation and separation of the …

Your take away goes inside pretty quickly which tends to lead to over the top or an outside downswing. Your swing looks pretty good so I don’t want to suggest anything drastic.

The only way to make a natural arc to the ball is to swing out to in. Now do the same backswing but this time on the downswing, lower your hands slightly below that original line and draw an arc to the ball. The arc should be more in to …

Over the top, to me at least, means you rotate above the plane at the top of the backswing. ▶ this video Did the ball go where you intended it to go? It looks like you are set up for it to go more right, then you adjust the plane starting at the top of the backswing and shoot it more left.
