Are you coming over the top in your golf swing? Here's how to fix it!
Coming over the top in your golf swing simply means not following the correct club path on your downswing... Instead of swinging down and delivering the club from the inside, your club falls outside of your swing plane, and you end up losing power and/or hitting a nasty slice.
The main reason you're coming over the top is due to over-use of your body, and the sequence of motion in your swing is off.
The first step to fixing this is taking a look at the initial move away from the ball...
In the video you'll see a simple way to insure that your initial move away gets you into position for an on-plane swing that avoids the over the top move.
Next, we'll take a look at your downswing and how to use your arms in your swing and get your club to fall down on plane so you can hit more solid shots with better accuracy, more distance.

Haven't been able to hit my driver since my brain surgery in 2018. Watched this video last night and hit about 20 out of 30 balls at the range straight as an arrow! You sir are the man! Earned a follower.
"Now remember, you've got to exaggerate it just to change a little in this crazy game". That is my Quote of the year!
I've spent a lot of time watching TH-cam golf videos and can truthfully say that this clip by Jim Roy is one of the best I've come across. I've been struggling with "coming over the top", and Jim's instruction about "quieting the body" and "giving room for the arms to swing" was a real eye-opener to me. Where many noted golf instructors are saying that you need to "fire the lower body first" and "move the hips", this instruction says to "quiet" the body and let the arms swing freely from the inside. I tried it, and it works! I'm now following all of Jim's TH-cam videos, and I have found him to be a terrific teacher of the golf swing. Also, check out his instructional video on posture. It's a great one, too!
I agree. I’ve heard a lot of firing the lower body first, I’ve never heard of “quieting” to help with this. Will try soon
I've struggled with this for months. Unfortunately my instructor couldn't relay the same info you just did in your video. One day while at the range, I tried something new, which was allowing my wrists to move instead of my arms just being an extension of the club. As soon as you said "too much tension in your arms" I immediately related. Great videos!
A local pro in Atlanta taught me the exact the same things Jim mentioned. A lot people told me to forget about it. I think I’m gonna go back and work on these two drills. Since everyone else isn’t helping me with my over the top/ steep downswing lol. His method makes a lot of sense
The up-the-hill thing is game-changing. Thank you, sir.
Great video. If watched all your over the top videos and they are bril6to watch and very easy to understand. Thank you
Can I tell you that the right foot drill has really helped my driver shots. I dont always get a draw but the ball goes almost straight now and of course more distance. Thank you very much. James (Scotland )
At 0:51, you nailed what I do. I've always (but been unaware of) started the downswing with my upper body, causing my club to be steep, hands out away from the body, and an outside in swing path. You're video helped me discover this. I went to the range to fix this - it's definitely awkward because the right way is new, but man did I ever get a hold of a few with a seemingly effortless swing because it was my hips that were dragging my upper body through to contact. I went from 240 yd slices to hitting the range net about 80ft up the net at the 245 marker! Thanks for the video. Very much appreciated.
I just found your video on over the top ,it's going to be a great help for me and I'm very impressed with how you explain things,looking for more of your video's. Thanks again GC
i have tried your method for a week now. i understand stand now why i slice, why i come over the top, why I can't quite my body, why i don't have a stright left wrist. why i come outside in with my swing. you sir are a answer to a prayer. thanks
I am constantly fighting(!!!) coming over the top and when I’m off I think about this video and these 3 drills. Thanks so much for putting this out there! -Former CNY’er
this is hands down the best piece of golf advice i have every received
thank you so much
This is great thank you. I struggle with this. One way I know I am coming over too much on a drive is when I burry the ball and it hits about 5 inches in front of the tee and bounces up. That is a sure sign to me that I came over on the down swing
Great tips. Thank you!
That is exactly my faulty down movement. Well explained! Thank you. Thank you.
Very effective, thanks for the lesson!
Thanks Jim for the video instruction. With the drills you suggested, I now know what the swing should feel like.
You just changed my life. Got out of bed at 130 am to work on this. Already can tell my path is where it needs to be! I get my body into too soon , x baseball player.
Great video - have been struggling with over the top, the “stagger foot” drill helped fix that plus it reinforced shoulder/hip turn and foot weight shift - have incorporated the drill into my pre-shot routine. Thanks!!
This is a very good video! I like the split screen with two different camera angles. This type of "over the top" kinda swing is my biggest issue for my driver.
first time I've heard too far inside to start and wow it solved it all for me. I was pretty close to figuring it out and this pushed me over the edge. THANK YOU
That right foot back drill is the greatest thing I have ever tried. Literally stopped coming over the top and hitting draws within one bag of balls. Thank you so much.
Try the head cover/towel under back armpit drill. Much better because it actually teaches you how to swing on balance. Also it wont mess up your aim like this back foot drill.
@@jacobsommers6952 that drill isnt bad but aim was not the focus. Once I got a feel for my drill, the whole point is to set up square and have the in to out path feel incorporated. I have even been using that as part of my pre-shot routine with great success.
you have showed me what ive been doing, this helped tremendously to understand my over the top move, thanks.
wow, this actually worked. I was almost ready to quit. watched this yesterday, went to the range, did both drills and never hit a bad shot. unreal. thank you.
@@chadwilliams3468 yes, Chad, I put my left foot forward and it was almost in line with my right foot behind. just a little right of my left so I had some balance. it worked like a charm. hit everything straight. you have to do it enough to get the "feel" of using arms more but it worked. good luck!!! I had the same issue as you.
Last round was pulling everything left. Turned a light bulb on for me!! Thank you!
Superb video. Thanks so much for these tips. Especially coming way to inside on backswing.
This is the Best lesson on OTP that I have seen. Great job. Thanks.
Happy to hear it helped!
Great visuals and explanation. Immediately helped me!
Clear, brief and easy - KISS keep it short and simple.
Exactly what I've been trying to get right, this tip is "100", on my way to the driving range, thank's so much for your help...
Great drills and swing thoughts. Thanks for posting.
Fantastic video! Thank you so much!
Good job Jim ... excellent solutions and very informative ...
Boy I struggle with swinging over the top. I'm anxious to try these out. Thanks.
This is top level stuff, thanks
jim...thks for the great tips....i can't wait to try them out...ps...i followed you one time as you were attempting to qualify at for u.s. open at montclair cc because my high school friend(john peterson)... who you knew at USF mentioned you to me and said what a great player you ...keep up the great work..thks again
Amazing video I never leave a comment but this video deserves one! Nothing worse then trying to fix something you dont understand. This video showed me what I was doing wrong! Drills on on point as well.
Thank you for sharing! Looking forward to going to the range!
Same drill my golf coach gave me, the right foot even with left heel. However, I like that you added the other one about pausing at the top and starting with the arms. My coach didn't inform me of that and I did suspect that the first move on my down swing was causing the over the top swing. Your video confirms it - thanks.

Great drills well presented. Thanks
Syracuse, NY represent!
Now that's one of the best videos yet. Thanks you.
What an awesome drill...my husband has struggled with this for years...not any more thanks to this simple effective drill
I actually tried this. The 1st drill. What i discovered was that I folded the right arm correctly that made me swing more from the inside. A throwing action. I put down small exit mirror on the ground and balls in front the mirror so I watch myself swing from the above. It really helped me with sensation and feelings. Thanks for the tips! Great help.
Very Helpful and to the point.. Thank Youi
Thanks gonna give this a try. Appreciate the help
Yep, I have seen you next to tiger woods on Sunday!! Great success.
Thank you!!!!! Can’t wait for the range 🐐
Great video! I will be implementing these drills into my practice routine! As soon as the snow melts!
How’d it go?
Very informative. Thank you.
Great advice thank you
simple but great drills... thank you
Good lesson. Thanks
phenomenal advice.....
By God, it WORKED!!! Thank you.
Thanks Jim!! Your videos are very informative and helpful in correcting bad tendencies of which I have MANY!! Kudos!! Hi from the Loeber’s in Jersey✌️ I’ll be golfing w U Franny and U Fred soon sharing some of these tips bc I’m pretty sure they aren’t watching TH-cam. 😂 😊✌️🏌️⛳️
Looks good, going to try it today at the practice range
I'm a left handed golfer & left handed hitter in baseball. I went to the range & tried some of this & was pleasantly surprised it worked! the only reason I say "surprised" is because it felt soooo weird. I had to tell my baseball brain to swing to hit the ball to left-center field & once i did that, i started hitting square in the clubface 9 out of 10 times. Thanks for the video PGZ guy!
Great drill tried it last night the split stance worked for me
great voice clear and understanding
Cant wait to go home and try the right foot back trick. I am constantly standing up and this should help me with my weight distribution.
Great advice. Thanks
Excellent video
Best teacher!!!
thank you . Best drill
very good video with useful tips
Great tips!
I really do enjoy these Videos Jim?
A shame I can't like this more than once. Amazing drills for what currently ails me.
Best sequence of drills I have encountered for fixing my OTT move with my irons. Thank you for this instruction!
Many thanks!
Thx, great stuff!
i've been golfing a long time and from observing myself and others it seems almost instinctive for most people to swing out to in. so some times for me i'll allow for it and line up a little left and open the face a bit and it seems to work with a bit of fade but you have to watch out for the pull. it's a faily powerful shot but shoots up high.
You hit the nail on the head. Awesome
Love your video thanks
Great video
Will try this today.
U r a great coach
thank you...the right foot back drill has really helped
Winner of a video, I have been researching "golf improvement tools" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Graysonyon Putter Prolific - (do a search on google ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my co-worker got excellent success with it.
Good lesson 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the lesson I'm hitting it much more consistent now ,and I've got a baby draw going as appose to a push fade/slice I've hammerd it since just after Christmas most days at the range ..I'm going to play my first comp in the new year tomorrow at my club and I feel optimistic about it ....Thanks a bunch :)

Best lesson!!
Great Video! well explained.....Thx!
Thanks for watching!
Moving the right foot back works for sure. I had a horrible slice as a begginer. Out golfing with my uncle on a dog leg left, he set me up like so. I hit the very first draw I ever hit, and a light bulb clicked as soon as I hit it. Still took time and practice to get it right, but that was definitely the beginning of the end of my slice.
Fantastic stuff here

One of the better instruction videos out there as far as easy to follow/non complicated sounding tips and drills. Thanks for posting.
I’m a lefty and hitting over the top is my biggest issue. This will be helpful. Thank you.
Did it work?
This is my problem. Thanks for the drills.
Agree 90% percent with this however someone like me 35+ till last week OTT could never feel this or work out why the club has to be behind you to succeed 👍🎯I’ve done it my way
This is awesome
Thank you! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks - great stuff.
