Mr. Klassen, I watched your videos here and bought three of your books and went golfing 2 days ago, first time since winter set in. I hit the ball better than I ever did and I been playing for 58 years. Beat both of my sons (25 + 28) who I couldn't beat all last year. They said that was the best they ever seen me hit a ball. I followed your advice, practiced it and at 65 years old I was crackin' those drives past 250. Thank you very much.
What he's saying works! I had major issues w 3wood..driver and hybrids. I went out and hit a bucket of balls...and i was BLASTING my shots! I wasn't straining...and my swing felt in control!! Very excited! Thanks
Thanks for this Col. I have the same problem with my swing. I am trying to rotate my wrists through 90 degrees on the back swing which really flattens the swing. On the downswing I can swing faster but is a risk of shanking the ball. Plenty on u tube about the wrist turn. Good luck! Nev
a good reminder to keep your clubs clear and use a softer ball. The advice on how to stop swinging over the top helped me to hit the ball down the middle of the fairway.
Great video as always. The point about the grooves should be a no-brainer for everybody but I'm also glad to hear Darrell's point about keeping the grips "tacky". If the grips are hard and slick it makes golf much more difficult. I have tacky grips and somewhat oversize diameter. I don't have to strangle the club to keep it under control which helps relieve some tension. I learned about keeping the grips tacky a long while ago from reading Arnold Palmer's book from the 60's where he said he would actually apply a tacky substance to his wound leather grips because he liked the way it made them feel and gave him more control. Glad to hear Mr. Klassen point it out as I don't seem to hear anyone mentioning it anymore.
wow finally simple strait forward instruction ....I have struggled with this my whole golfing career ...I have made it to a five handicap but still sometimes have one those days where the over the top movement hinders my ability to strike the ball well....cant get to range today ...but will practice in house ...and tomorrow I have a good feeling ....you have fixed or mended at least my biggest problem in my golf game ... thank you sir
ive watched so many videos on coming over the top and ive not been able to cure it until I saw this and actually understood what was causing it many thanks
Hi Darrell,You do waffle on a bit but I must say carry on waffling because it really does work,I have just returned from the range,(I am in my other home in Tenerife in the canaries)and it works 100% many thanks I will now look at your other teaching.
The equipment bit was spot on. For a long time I didn't clean my clubs but once a month. The grips would get slick and I'd struggle to even make contact. The ball wouldn't stop on the green either, the grooves were filled with dirt. Clean clubs are so crucial to good golf. And a high end golf ball is useful for controlling shots better.
Hi Darrel !! Brilliant video I have tried this in my game yesterday. I went from always fading and hooking to driving straight down the middle. Effortless swing best drive 292 yards with my new Ping G30 SF Tec !!!!
For starters learn the correct grammar you ignoramis, the word 'your' in the the context you are using should be spelled 'you're'. Secondly, you sound like one of the sheep that hangs on every word he spouts as gospel. I bet you've bought his videos also. Do yourself a favour and watch a teacher that actually shows you the result of the shot down the line so you can see the proof of the pudding.
40 years of teaching golf with a shape like that, he should have spent the time in a gym and lose about 100 lb. also, you never see him hitting a ball and any teacher worth his salt should be able to show you the result of swinging correctly by hitting a shot.
there are vids of him demonstrating flop shots directly over the camera man and he s only 7/8 foot away. the guy has skills regardless of his shape or size and is probably more like your average amateur golfer than rory mcilroy.
Do not show me how to do something wrong. Movement is required to learn. Show me your opinion of the correct way. As I make mistakes I can use your techniques to adapt my body to it. There are no bad swings, just not good ones. There are however bad teachers. Gave you a shot. Bad move. Not subscribing.

Fantastic advice. Appears to have instantly cured my over the top issue.

I don't care about golf lessons but this channel is really relaxing. Keep it up Darrell.

Man shut up.
LOL
Why the hell hasnt anyone ever explained this like this before?!?! what a breakthrough for me!!!! thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

I agree with the comments, this was a fantastic swing thought, it worked instantly and I am ripping the ball ! Thanks so much !
Darrell is a brilliant teacher who could make Tiger great again.

What a great teacher
best clip for over the top issue.
Hi Darrel! My question is, is the tilt and weight on back foot for all clubs (for full shots)
Simple. I tried it. It works.
'tried' does not mean achieved pal and it wont work over night. stick at it and check out mark crossfield if you are still struggling.
@MrZocor chop
All Top Flite are not the rocks that they used to be. Top Flite Gamers have very good spin for an affordable ball.
Good old Moe Norman knew about that body tilt...
we make it too difficult. simple is the key.
So you don,t actually shift over to your right side,you are already there at set up,makes sense.S/J.
What was that all about watching him drive to a golf course and wasting 10 minutes of the video instead of spending more time on instruction.
Not as bad as the crap your posting.

+Robert Bernard i have seen men that size angry .large things begin flying around people escaping .the seen is of war conflict or of elephant rampage.
+Robert Bernard Totally agreed...this guy just likes airing his bullshit to the world.
there are vids of him demonstrating flop shots directly over the camera man and he s only 7/8 foot away. the guy has skills regardless of his shape or size and is probably more like your average amateur golfer than rory mcilroy.
yep REESPECT. too many cowboys about spouting shite.
weird, how is he getting away with this stuff???
