This is the only video you will ever need. If you don't already release the club like this it's going to feel weird, but this is exactly how tiger gets from your still into and through impact ▶ this video

This has to be one of the biggest misconceptions in golf. Your hip is supposed to move out to the ball. ▶ this video

We have a very similar swing! I’m also trying to fix my Over The Top. These are a couple of videos I’ve found helpful (with my accompanying notes). Nb im left handed ▶ this video Aprox 5:14 time mark \- Trail elbow needs to go into rib cage on the downswing \- Then trail hand/ arm goes straight out (to left side of the golf balls) then rotates with hip so into that finish position: [vm.tiktok.com] \- need proper hip …

That’s certainly a good video (and I have linked it to people on this subreddit multiple times). That being said you need to be very careful with your language around the hips “invading the space” for the arms. The idea of “creating space” for the arms is often times a very flawed concept. The center of the pelvis stays roughly the same distance away from the ball in the whole swing, but the trail side should get …

Yeah, good timing they made a new video that explains a lot of this: ▶ this video They've said it a bunch of times so there's some older stuff too. Basically if you don't pass the hands forward you can turn the body, if you pass the hands you won't turn because you'd be way too steep. body turn steepens the swing by moving the hands closer to the ball. The trail elbow stays at your trail side until impact and THEN …

[preview.redd.it] nuh uh you're forced to shoot your whole body to the sky like a rocket because otherwise you'd excavate a fairway that looks better than the greens I play on. very hard to fix this with a reddit thread so it's either consume countless hours of youtube or get at least 1 coaching lesson to fix the basics. but the general idea is to create club movement that allows for steep body mechanics. You get …

u/shift013 2025 · r/GolfSwing · in “How to get hands forward at impact?”

FYI “hands forward at impact” is a visual illusion and myth. It happens as a result of rotating the hips and actually having the hands behind the center line at impact. ▶ this video

u/ImNako 2026 · r/GolfSwing · in “Before I go down this hole, are one handed swings worth practicing for form?”

Not necessarily you just need to understand what you're missing conceptually about what the arms do. Would need a video to tell what you actually do but most people try and wipe their trail arm across the body to get back to the ball but impact actually happens on the trail side of the body. I'm like what the Atheltic Motion Golf guys on YouTube talk about since they measure pros in 3D and then figure out how the …
