- In this video, Mike shares 3 drills to fix an over the top swing. An over the top swing is very common with beginner golfer and will cause a swing path to go "outside to inside" and may be impossible to hit a draw. But by implementing these drills, the golfer will have a sense of what it is like to have the ball start out to the right after contact
Would like to schedule a in-person or online lesson with me?

Any questions out there regarding the Over The Top Swing?? Let us know! ⬇⬇⬇
See my response. Thanks
The last drill is really amazing. I watch you and Adam and I’ve been taking the club back down my foot line and then down to my foot line. Not over the top but steep. I tried this and it’s a game changer. When you quantify the exact angle it’s money. Thank you
Down the line of the feet on the way back, down the 22degree line on the way through (Bradley Hughes PGA tour coach calls it the 4:30 slot)
If down the line of you feet away from the target is 3pm on a click the club returns to the ball through the 4:30 mark (22.5degree)
Thanks for watching!
It basically simulates the 4:30 line that John Erickson talks about
Wow! I found this video searching how to solve my over the top. Love these drills and can’t wait to get to the range and try them. I have done the gate drill but had not seen the other two. Thank so much.
I’m honestly so glad your Channel popped up on my feed. I don’t know why but I understand everything so much better than the other instructors. You also explain the way we should feel things. Love it!
I’m so glad I popped up on your feed too! Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m so happy the content is helping you! Please let me know anything you need! Thanks for watching!
The Porzak algo is 👑
Thank you so Much,,, this lesson will help me,,thank you Sir,, an old Veteran,,,,
Useful and effective tip. But instead of using two golf balls as a gate, I used two cone-shape rubber tees instead. It's safer and less worrying. lol. When you build more confidence you can put the tees behind the ball to make a gate about 6 inch wide. No more coming over the top if you can hit the ball without hitting the tees.
Struggled with over the top for years, 22 degree pump drill, brilliant.
Mike, you and Adam are creating a real problem for me... I've got to delete all my other golf videos! This is one is just awesome! Thanks
Mike, this is great!!! It’s not a problem, it’s the solution! The rabbit hole of TH-cam and trying to mesh many different teachers instruction together is a surefire way to have the wheels come off.
For everyone out there staying focused and consistent with one or two instructors teachings will help you get better (we would be honored if we are your go to guys).
Again Piecing things together from everywhere for anyone is a recipe for disaster.
Thanks for watching Mike any questions you have or any content you’d like to see please let us know !
Great drills and feels...
This is exactly what I need and explained to simple and easy to understand in a compact video. Really appreciate that, Mike!
So happy this was helpful!
That last drill is exactly what I needed
The ball drill is my fav thing to do
The discussion around 4:30 is gold. Everything bad in my swing happens when I get lifty with the arms, then a whole raft of compensations.
I really have to “feel” like my top of backswing is at my waist almost, and that my arms are almost dead in the swing.
Of course on film it actually looks like a stock standard top of backswing! Thanks to you and Adam for the tutorials.
Boom there it is! Absolutely what needs to happen for you and 98% of players out there to connect their backswing and have a big body turn with a short connected arms swing!
So happy we have helped!!
Good lesson, will try later today. Thank you!
Really great video for visualization purposes. Your teachings methods have been outstanding, keep them coming
This video is so good Mike! The last drill in particular has been so helpful to me as I am bad for going over the top. Thanks very much John
That’s great to hear John! This is exactly why we do what we do, to help as many players as possible play better golf!
Thank you for watching!
Wow great drills, my golf pro taught me the gate drill with headcovers but i guess balls would work to great stuff
Thanks Mike, good video. Would you consider doing one on follow through to pair this with?
I absolutely will! You can defitnely “reverse engineer” a great golf swing by starting at the finish! I believe the picture of the finish of the golf swing speaks 1000 words, and truly paints the picture of what happened before it!
What a great video. Can’t wait to take it to the range!
Thanks Mike! 3 great drills that will definitely help me.
Fantastic! Thank you for watching! Find the one that gets YOU the best results and make it a GO-TO drill for yourself!!
I have high hopes for this channel, very rare i get up and grab a club instantly because i grasped the concept so well in a short period of time. Thanks for your videos sir, cant wait to see the next one! Im having problems compressing the ball at the moment, hoping to find some videos from you on that, and if you havent yet, then i hope you do in the future.
So happy you found this! I appretiate you watching. I love the videos motivated you to grab the club and test it out! Let me know how it goes! Will have some more great videos for you soon!
Mike, you have some great tips that can help any golfer…… so easy 👍🏻
Thank you so much! That is exactly what we always strive to do! To have any and every golfer that hear the instruction get better everytime!
Love tips 2 and 3! Love 3 the most! Thank you!
So glad!
That 3rd drills a ripper mate, thanks heaps, it's got me hitting a baby draw and i'm a slicer!!
This makes me soooo happy to hear! Thanks for watching!
Awesome drills and awesome video, thank you!
brillant, thank you, needed these drills
Best video ever, thanks you changed my life❤
Thank you so much! This is exactly why I do it what I do. To help as many golfers as possible play the better golf and enjoy the world’s greatest game more than ever!!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Full marks Mike for another quality video.
Thank you for watching!
I am thrilled I have found your channel: great work my Man.
Please do a comprehensive video on chipping!
I have to get to single figures from a 20 HCP by Sept 2024!
Grateful Aussie.
I’m so happy you found it too! I will definitely have some chipping videos coming for you! Those are great goals, let’s do it!
Thank you for the help. In the 22.5-degree drill, should you, in the takeaway, follow this angle? Or is this only for the downswing?
Very promising drills ... number 3 in particular!
Number three, the pump drill, is one that players should always come back to when they need to create better feels! Make sure that one stays in the rotation forever!
Been trying the gate drill, keep hitting the target and inside (most forward) ball?
These look great to try with my irons! Would it work in a similar fashion with all clubs? (Sorry still new to Golf!)
I love your video's, so clear and to the point, thank you.
Thank you so much! I will keep doing my best for you!
Hello from Tasmania, drills were so simply explained .... finally ....good ball contact, got a drill?
The barnbouglesmens
So glad your posting such great lessons!
Thank you for watching! Glad you like them!
🤯 He's speaking 💯 FACTS! Over-the-top is the story of my life 😫
This vids for you! Let me know how it works!!
Another great video thanks
Thank you for watching!
Great drill video tips
Thank you for watching!
Do you rotate start when your right elbow gets to your right front pocket?
Was hitting balls, misremembered the 22 1/2 degree drill and aligned the stick, pointing it at the ball rather than my back foot. Turns out that angle in relation to my clubhead nearing the ball worked great! I'll try using it as my shaft attack angle next time. How about an alignment stick for an early take away?
Great to hear b so happy it helped! Dont understand your question for “early takeaway?” Could you expand?
Thanks for watching!
@GolfPitt My fault, meant early in the takeaway, like the first foot or two. If you were to place a stick on the ground as a guide for the backswing what angle would it be on. Thanks, I'm really enjoying your instruction, been watching you guys for a while now.
Hello, can I use these drills with driver? If so same distances for gate?
Great video. If everyone did just these things there would be a lot more good players out there.
Haha no doubt about it!!! My intention is to help more and more people with every video we put up!!
@@GolfPittlove it thank you.
Let’s conquer over the top on the Pitt Stop. Love those black apex🔥what shafts are those?
Let’s do it!!! 👊🏼
These are the black true temper XP ST15 105 s300…
This is the first set that I went lighter then 120/125g in the irons and I actually like it a lot! The lighter shaft allows me to swing a little easier and a little smoother and still get plenty out of it! Obviously I loooove the color to! As part of Callaway staff(11 years now 🤯) we get fitted with New Clubs every year to be in the current year model. I’m looking forward to getting the new Apex pros! Unfortunately, there’s no blacked out option yet on 2024s so these will certainly be missed !
Love me some bonus porzakian content! Do you think using one of those gforce whippy 7 irons would help with connection?
In some cases. I believe the lag shot which is the training aide you’re referring to helps people who get very disconnected in the backswing and in the transition. It won’t let you take the club away too quick or bounce to the top and it won’t let you change direction too quick otherwise it falls behind you.
Keep an eye out on the channel because I’m going to start a training aid segment that will evaluate and explain to you guys what every training aide out there does and who it can help! We are going to identify the best Training Aides out there and also the ones they probably aren’t worth your time!
Thanks for watching!
I think I come over the top more when I get tired. What is it about coming over the tope that is easier on the body?
So good
🙏🏼🙏🏼
This sounds like our in person lesson haha. Can I combine the slot drill with the gate drill?
Hahaha! Hi Oscar!! This video is a great reminder for many!…. You bet your can combine the gate drill and the slot go! That will take away the opportunity to lose connection, and also provide a great visual for you on your way through the golf ball! Thanks for watching my friend! Let me know if you need anything!
Pitt and Porzack need to be on a show like Micheal Breed!
Pl share some tips on 3 wood swing
The 3 wood is always so inconsistent with me
Absolutely! The 3w is the hardest club to hit because it is the least amount of loft and you’re hitting it off the ground!
Do you feel like you're hugging your core in the downswing. Kind of looks like that, looks pretty sync'd up in the downswing.
I’ve never heard it phrased that way but I think yes! The core is tight and the arms are attached to it! Just remember post impact that hug feels like you are letting go as you extend the arms and club more down the range versus staying tight with the arms too much which could cause you to cut across the ball.
Thanks for watching!
@@GolfPitt love the content. Would love a video on wrists. There's a million videos telling you to hold the trail wrist through the ball and a million telling you to ulnar lead wrist through contact. Super confusing. If I hold my wrist forever the ball can be weak and cutty and ulnar at the ball can be fat and hooky
Can you do that with a driver.
Why not do my Twirl Golf Swing? Simply put: at the top of one’s backside with subtle quickness twirl your handle clockwise (never counterclockwise) using both your hands and wrists working together. This one swing thought will place centrifugal force on your club head soaring it down through your ball turning your body to your lead side for your glorious finish.
My one magic swing thought also serve secondary benefits such as keeping you in your golf posture; keeping your arm close to your chest; facilitate rotation; and above all else prevents premature extension. Cheers 😊🥂👍❤️ Hope you try it for yourself. And feel free to teach it as well. But give me a little acknowledgment for telling you this.Also check out my Twirl Waggle on You Tube inspired by Jack Nicklaus and you will know understand exactly what I am talking about.
Is swinging from in to out a normal swing ?
An in to out swing will produce a more efficient strike and will help you control you golf ball, ball flight, and distance!
@@GolfPitt thank you , keep the excellent videos coming.
Great lesson but the camera is jumping around a lot.
But I am a high handicapper…and I hit behind the ball or top it all the time
Where are you? 99% of the time I hit the ground first with my irons I and fairway woods. It doesn’t matter what drill or you tube tip I use.
San Diego, CA! You are the second person that’s commented on this video about heavy chunked shots. You can expect a video coming your way soon! And it will work!!!
They just dont work these kind of drills. Need to learn correct sequencing. Avoiding carefully placed obstacles is lazy teaching in my opinion
100% agree.
