Jon, here’s how we can fix your tendency to swing over the top ⛳️

John, here's why you're struggling with this over the top downswing and why you're hitting slices, okay? So the first thing that I see here in your setup is you're too bent over at the waist and your posture is very rounded. So let's stand a little bit taller and straighten up the posture, okay? In your backswing, you do a pretty good job in your backswing. So you can see you're working the club basically up the plane, halfway back the shaft looks basically right at the golf ball. At the top of your swing, your lead arm matches your shoulder plane, hands are above your heels. So it's pretty good, right? But here's where things start to go sideways on us. And that's when you keep this right shoulder in transition, like super high over your lead shoulder, okay? What happens when you like rotate from the top with your shoulders and you spin out, that's gonna pitch the shaft over top of the original plane, coming down very steep. From there, you continue to release and rotate. That's why you hit the swipey fade, okay? So what I want you to do is I want you to learn how to keep your back facing the target longer. I want this trail shoulder working a little bit more down and under, and I want your hands firing, your hands and arms firing down, okay? So a great drill for you, after you fix your setup, would be to put like a stick two feet behind you, covering your hands from down the line. And ideally you would swing under the stick in transition, okay? Right now, you would tomahawk the stick and break it in half because you're coming down over the top. It's not a big deal. It's just gonna tell you that you did it right or wrong, right? So I want you to swing a little bit more under the stick. That's gonna force this right shoulder to work a little bit more down and under. Get your hands and arms firing a little bit sooner, keeping your back facing the target longer, okay? Hope this helps.
