Often players are not swinging over the top due to a lack of cordinat...

Shoulder issues and an over-the-top and steep swing are super common to see together and the reason for that is if you can't rotate this shoulder far enough there's really no way for you to get this arm down and in front to shallow. If you're stuck right here, if this is all the shoulder range of motion you've got and you try to shallow there's nothing you can do. That club is gonna be steep the only thing you can do is stand up and try to get it to lay down some more and we don't want to do that either. So rather than trying to fix your steep over-the-top swing by forcing yourself into a position your body doesn't like, it's a lot easier to just work on improving that limitation, that mobility limitation. Now an easy way to test whether you have enough range of motion and to see if this could possibly be your issue is to come up to this position with the elbow right at the shoulder height and just see can you rotate to 90 degrees, kind of in your golf posture while you do this. We should be able to get to 90 or past it. If you can't get to at least 90, grab a lacrosse ball. We're gonna take this and put it right into the back side of the shoulder here. Ideally you do this lying down. You can do it on a wall as well if this is too painful but you put this into the back side of your shoulder, you bring your elbow out to that same position you did for the test and you roll them around until you find a tender spot. Once you find a tender spot, this is important, we don't keep trying to roll it, we simply sit on it and don't move. We then want to bring the back of our hand as close down to the floor as we can, hold for a couple seconds, relaxing into that ball, not being tense and then coming back up and repeating. Once this spot feels like it releases a little bit, we can roll around, find a new spot and again sit on it. We don't roll the spot, we just sit on it and work through some active range of motion. If you do this on a semi-consistent basis, you'd be shocked at how fast you can improve that shoulder range of motion. Now it is important you do do some strengthening stuff to help stabilize that shoulder and maintain the new mobility you get so it doesn't get tight again, but that's for another video.
