Golf Tip – Stop Coming Over the Top

Good Drill to Stop Coming Over the Top

Coming over the top happens when a golfer’s back shoulder moves out and towards the target first. The result is either a dead pull or a major slice. If you pull the ball it will not only miss the target but it will also go further than you planned. If it’s a slice, you have so much backspin on the ball you’re going to lose distance and come up short.

Go to the driving range and put a tee in the ground one foot in front of your ball and about two inches to the right. Hit balls so when you swing, the clubhead passes over the tee. The drill will help keep your shoulders in the correct position and help you create a swing plane that is inside to outside instead of outside to inside.
