Thanks guys! I've watched a few of your over the top vids and this one hit home for me. I thought I had a decent turn (which I did) but I wasn't starting with the lateral movement, I was just turning my body.
Just watched this video the other day . Struggled coming over the top for years . The hip movement seems to be helping on the driving range . Hopefully come next spring i will have mastered this movement . Thanks lads 👍🏼
Nice video guys! This has really helpmed me as i dont get lessons and was struggling with an over the top downswing. Awsome!
Great Harvey. Glad this helped.
So many videos focus on dropping the club into the slot or stay on plane or yada yada... The first move of initiating with the movement of the hips towards the target naturally created the ability (for me) swing from the inside out... and great observation on the lower body slide; proves your point! Well done gentlemen, this helped me a ton!
y'all do such an excellent job of identifying faults and demonstrating fixes very explicitly. incredible stuff. thank you! keep the tips coming!
Thanks you for this video guys, this is one of the biggest problems I have with this in my swing. I will tend to see divots that point to the left and i might also hit the ball thin and the ball just does not travel that far sometimes. I will be trying this on the range.. Thanks again.!!
Well explained!!! Thanks guys u r doing a great job. Cheers!!!
I have this same problem guys and I continue to watch and rewatch this video, many thanks for your help and advice
Just wanted to say 'thanks' to you guys for these concise and our so clearly demonstrated instruction videos.
Good video guys. This is one of my big problems, and I think I have been training this over top swing for a while. I have a few issues but I think this is my biggest one. I also over swing so as you can imagine it really speeds the slice up. Cant wait to try this at the range. I had a lesson a week ago and the pro told me to make a concious effort to tuck my right elbow in to my side on the down swing to encourage an in to out swing. I had been trying that but its taking some work, I think this could be the answer though. Thanks
Excellent Over The Top video Had pleasure of visit to Astbury as Starter of the first Pro tournament.After the 2nd left knee replacement 6 months ago I can know swing as your video, wished I had seen earlier as no pain know.Great teaching.
Thanks for explaining the "bump" I'll try it on the range. Sometimes it just takes one word to get what you mean. Thanks guys!
I've seen from some of your other videos the same emphasis of the initial lateral movement. Along with your pump drill I am slowly learning to play a draw or straighten my shots. Still a bit of work to do though. This is really helping my game so a real big thanks to both of you!
Great to hear we are helping Tim!
excellent video guys. clearly explaining one of the most important areas in the golf swing when it comes to adding power, accuracy and good swing path leading to more powerful strikes. one of golf's big secrets :-)
Thanks guys! that was VERY useful!
Thanks guys, can't wait to try that!
excellent video. great clarity
It really is magical when you synch up the lower body move talked about here with the proper shoulder rotation. The club actually does "drop into the slot" like they say. You'll absolutely pure your irons more often once you can sync up & groove the feel that they guys are talking about here.
Thank you for this video. I have been watching multiple videos about how to stop swinging over the top and the common consensus is to start the arms first. I don’t believe in that. I generate my power from a whipping action. If I have the bottom half move first and it drops the top half into the slot it makes more sense. Thank you for the clarity.
Thanks so much for this guys! Looking forward to trying this out at the range and stopping my arms starting the down swing. Thanks again lads, your videos are brilliant
Glad this has helped. Let us know how things go.
Great great great tips. The examples you gave of what not to do are exactly what I find myself doing when I slice it badly. It’s all about swing concept and that’s a really challenging thing to understand, break the old bad habits and then consistently pull off. Golf is a game of consistencies, I always say... or a game of inconsistencies in my case lol
Ive watched a lot of your videos since I started playing 2 years ago, and you've definitely helped my game, so cheers for that. Over the top has been my biggest challenge to overcome, watched videos from many on every element of the downswing, but never found a solution that worked for me. Until I discovered that if I have one only swing thought -- about how the club head behaves after impact i.e moving directly toward the target for the first part. If I do that, it seems to get me closer to the correct hitting position almost by default without having to think about it, do you have a video concentrating on that?
thanks guys, this was really really helpful...
Hmm ... that's interesting! I've tried just about everything to stop my tendency to swing over the top (40+ years). I've had a little bit of success. One of my key swing thoughts is to strike the inside of the golf ball. I've never thought of trying that lateral, lower-body move at the start of the downswing. I'll give that a try. Thanks for the video.
Very good lesson .Thank you
Looks like good stuff. Thanks.
this is exactly what i needed to see!
Great video, easily explained ,started hitting driver high straight left could over the top be causing it? Normally very good with driver ,scratch golfer but this shot killing me 4or 5 times a round!
Golf's No 1 "secret" - everybody who starts to play the game or is currently struggling with their game should watch this !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic video and tip !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
monkeybreeks jov Thanks. Glad you liked the video.
This is gold.
GJ guys
You guys just saved me from more frustration on the course 👌
Played off the whites for a first time as a junior and feeling that I am not hitting my driver as far a I can, it's and xhot 11.5 degree. How can you help, maybe make a video explaining where your power comes from and how to get more power. Thanks! Great video by the way!
Thanks for posting this great videos guys! I watched almost every videos that you guys post. I'm recently suffering from releasing the club too early, I did watched the videos that were focusing on how to stop the early release but the drills does not seem help my problem :( Is there any other easy common drills to cure this problem?
Great visual explanation! Thanks guys!!!!
Dave Richardson Glad you enjoyed it Dave.
Great tip...really enjoyed video. Thanks guys
bcssp
fantastic insight, helped me understand how my swing starts over the top...now time to perfect the bump!
It seems that bump at ~4:00 is exaggerated. I've been recently mimicking another video where left hip did not pass thru vertical line up from left foot -- a simpler swing, fewer moving parts, and seems effective so far.
Now I understand why I do slice that much! I was just trying to turn my hips like the pro do all the time!!! Not good for the amateur in me! Thanks so much for your great tips and lessons.... really helpfull!
cupstanley1 cupstanley1 Glad we are helping you out.
I struggle with this more with my driver than any of my other clubs. My irons are going straight. My fairways every once in a while fade. Thanks for the video.
Very good video guys
Like your bag very nice colors. How many videos do you have on fixing over the top? I’ve watched a couple, so far.
I finally now know why I do it, it's annoyed me for a year now. Well done indeed.😁
thanks, very informative, is there any drill to ensure that we do not over sway the lower body?
This is a great video! I love the visuals lines given to demonstrate the lateral movement. Too bad I'm in Chicago and won't be able to work on it on the course for a few months! Look forward to viewing more
Bob Rakow Get yourself over to Top Golf on the range:) We love it there.

Best drill ever !!!!!!!!! Everyone needs to understand how to do this in the swing.
great tip.
Good video guys. I've found that being completely passive with the hands/arms/shoulders on the downswing ie soft/light hands and letting my arms effectively fall from the top, and letting them follow my lower body helps stop me coming over the top. What do you think?
I'm in the middle of correcting my "over slide" move by staying more on the ball which now has me coming over the top... finding that sweet spot between the two extremes...
Cheers Guys, I've been cut from 20 to 14 in the last few weeks mainly due to your great videos.
Kevin McDonald Great! Glad we are helping.
great video thank you !!!
George Steen Thanks George
My OTT swing is driving me crazy. It leads to so many pulls (with wedges and short irons) and shanks (with mid irons). I believe you guys hit the nail on the head with this video. My hips rotate too fast (with little lateral movement) and I'm left to compensate by also releasing the club early, which I find is closely associated with a OTT swing. I enjoy your videos very much and you guys simplify everything! Is there a drill that I can try to get my hips to move laterally before rotating? Thanks and keep up the great work!!
This is the best tip on TH-cam. But you got to practice it hundreds of times to get muscle memory - it isn't an instant thing. I first saw this last year from this video and I put the loads of hours in practicing to improve and it works. Stay with a 3/4 swing. Keep at it and good luck!

Excellent instructions
andrew woodley-page Thanks Andrew
Wow, just realized I'm turning and not sliding, thanks guys!!!
I never thought I would lose my over the top downswing. I had lots of lessons which pointed to the problem but I can't honestly say I was helped with the cure. If you try to hit the ball from the top as I used to do you will come over the top. Try to imagine leaving your hands where they are, ensuring they dont move towards the ball as you transition your weight. You hit the ball with the club head not your hands.
This makes so much sense... I do that forward movement except with my driver. My thought was to stay behind the ball.. And wonder why I canmot fix that slice... So today I will drive with forward movement... And staying behind the ball.. I was just rotating
I really like this video. it has helped me with skyballing my driver.......
Sander de Ridder Great.
Nice clear explanation. Would this lateral "bump" on the downswing also help with fat/ thin shots? Cheers.
Yes peter. The lateral movement helps move the bottom of the swing after the golf ball which helps create that solid strike.
I am suffering from over the top probably not shifting lower body towards target. Nice caching
still working on the bump before to get back on plane.. any chance I can submit a video for critique?
Early in the season I tend to shank irons - especially on a full swing. I know my issue is starting my downswing with my torso or upper body which puts my club outside the ball - introducing the hosel of the club. In my mind, I am trying to concentrate on leading with my lower body as well as keeping my hands quiet. Could it also be that I stand too close to the ball? What other drills could I do?
Either Piers didn't get the memo on Grey shirt day, or Andy didn't get the memo on blue shirt day.
Upper body wardrobe malfunction!
I hook the ball very badly, it's to the point it doesn't just slightly curve but it actually starts to go horizontally and only about 100 yards. I used to hit about 300 straight as an arrow. I've seen your videos and they seem to help a little bit but I still hook. I have a stiff shaft, would I need to get a xstiff of regular or are there any drills to help?
The number one thing that causes over the top is activating right arm at top of down swing it should stay passive until hips ,if you do activate your right arm at the top it pushes your shoulders out causeing over the top
Keep up the great work! More great content, just wondering if y'all could do a rematch with Mark Crossfield+partner soon, that was a fun match to watch with the different styles of play
Hopefully we will get one sorted for next year Max.
I suffer from this and it has stunted my development. I can't wait to try this out the next time I am at the range. One question. What happens when you are hitting driver? As you need to stay behind the ball to launch it, whereas this movement would have you hitting down on the ball. Thanks guys, great video.
Hi Richard. Transferring weight wouldn't get you hitting down on the ball if you are in a good set up. This is why we have the ball position forward in the stance.
Meandmygolf
Thanks guys. Appreciate the response.
Out of curiosity, do you guys have any kind of drill for casting the club when using a driver? I finally put a camera on myself and realized that on my downswing, I tend to release my wrists early causing a 'casting' effect. The result is generally a very high, weak fade. To put it in perspective, a solid drive for me is between 290-315. The casting drive however, only reaches about 220-240 and lands me on another fairway or worse. Thank you guys for all you do!!!
Give the meandmygolf "pump drill" a try. It's worked well for me.
I always feel the slice comes from doing the opposite of over the top if that makes sense. So I will subconsciously move more and more over the top to try and fix it and it makes everything worse. This is difficult to train yourself to do. Are there any drills for this?
What about us lot that come over the top but pull hook the ball. Will this work too?
is it possible to slice the ball and have an out to in swing? thanks
I think starting the downswing by first laterally moving the hips does help avoid coming over the top. I believe many of us trying to learn this move cannot always distinguish which body part is moving first or simply cannot hold back the shoulders/arms while shifting the hips. Thus some instructors suggest keeping the back to the target as long as possible on the downswing, which probably helps, if you can do it. if you can independently move the hips as you suggest, I think it pulls the arms down into the 'slot' without further manipulation; however I have seen many videos where the instructors say the first move should be dropping the club or elbows vertically and then moving the hips, and they say some pros do this. Do you think there is any time when that approach is helpful ? Thanks a lot.
I never realised I did that until I seen this video thanks guys
Great Garry.
Does moving towards the hole apply to your driver too? I have a issue all the time drawing my irons a lot! Not necessarily hooking. So a lot of in to out! If you could do one of those that would be great! Thanks guys.
Yes Isaac. We still want so transfer weight to your lead leg but not as important in our opinion. You will still see the best players in the world move towards the target from the top.
Thanks guys! Really loving the videos at the moment. Pumping out some very helpful content! Look for your videos everyday 😄
When doing this my hands pass very closely to my right thigh/hip (almost touching). Is this the correct feeling. I should also say that this happens only with short irons. Do you have any guidance on how far from the right thigh/hips the hands should be in the downswing.
Thanks, I will give it a go tomorrow and let you know how "moving towards" affects my shots..
Great. Let us know Michael.
Meandmygolf Your tip worked well but I still need to work at flattening my swing plane and angle of attack so that I take ball then turf. Great sound and ball flight when I do. All the best guys.
Meandmygolf Update - my coach used GC2, with dots on the driver, and he was reasonably impressed with the results. Thanks lads.
So I wasn't sliding just rotations hips is this reason for toe hits ?
How can I send my golf swing to you guys
OK, I know this is an old post but hopefully you will see this. What does an "ole" man/person do. 70 years old moving like that can hurt LOL ! any options?
“I’ve never seen the lower body slide and someone come over the top”
Hold my beer...
How can I get a good shoulder turn
With pulling from your right shoulder blade. Dont push with your left arm
:( i took a lesson years ago that told me to NOT move the lower body....i FIGHTING it I've introduced the over the top. this is too frustrating. i was taught the wrong thing. now my swing is a mess
How can I stop my drives going right
The fact that a golfer will have to practice a new set of manipulations (over and over again)to find the correct swing plane shows that OTT is a symptom, not a fault......If you can feel and sense the club and the clubhead, then it will naturally find the correct plane using the proper muscle sequencing...No manipulations needed.
I come over the top something pitiful but miss left a lot. I play ok usually in the low 80s but if someone shows me my golf swing i wont look at it anymore. Its so discouraging how ugly it is.
bet mark crossfield loves this video
Swing a sledge hammer in the same manner and I'll guarantee you wont forget to properly (and naturally) transfer your lower body weight down through the target line.....
Stop swinging that long toothpick they sold you because you thought it would give you more clubhead speed and 5 yards more in distance. It's wrecking your natural swinging motion....Only touring pros, and very dedicated club golfers have enough time in their day to groove the rhythm, timing, and balance needed to consistanly swing the new ultra light equipment offered in the pro shops today.
Hence, the reason that Over-the-Top is one of the most common so called "swing faults" around today.
Do you guys love the assbury?
im still stuck on this :/

He should of stood face on to the camera when showing the hip bump and not down the line....
About time they wear different color shirts
