Golfers who swing over the top often struggle to maintain dynamic posture in transition. Sometimes it’s the result of a limitation in mobility or motor control, other times it’s an issue with concept or feel. Dave Phillips discusses on the Me and My Golf YouTube channel.

A lot of golfers struggle with over the top because their lead shoulder moves with the torso in transition, causing the arms to shoot out. The lead shoulder works independently to keep the arms in position to swing from a great position. #golf #golftips #golfcoaching

Big credit to EF for the changes he’s made to his golf swing. It’s often not easy or fast. The best students put in the time, even if it’s 5-10 mins/day, with focused practice. EF is one of those solid “Type 4” golfers who go about it the right way. Results speak for themselves!

I use this simple drill to help golfers feel, more control in their takeaway, improved swing shape, and how the ground will help them hit better golf shots. My Swing Catalyst dual plates make this so clear to see how golfers are not in control from the beginning.

Comment ‘LAUNCH’ & I’ll send you my best drills to add 20+ yards to your drives Most golfers who come over the top have no idea this is happening in their swing. And it’s one of the easiest things to correct on the range. The over-the-top move is the most common cause of slicing

Many golfers mistake familiarity for mastery. When a golfer repeats the same drill or shot over and over (blocked practice), it often feels more comfortable and successful, but that’s often just the illusion of learning. While there is absolutely a place for blocked practice in every golfers prep, to truly prepare for the course, we need to mix things up. Random practice - changing clubs, targets, or shot shapes every rep - challenges your brain and body the way golf actually demands. It may feel harder, but that’s exactly why it works. After all, it’s hard to survive in the jungle if all you know is the zoo.

Many golfers who come over the top have transition backwards. They feel like the downswing starts with rotation, so they spin open from the top, throwing the club out and over the plane. Hello, slice. The fix isn’t no rotation. It’s better sequence. Starting the downswing with a lateral move toward the target not only shifts pressure into the lead side, it helps shallow the club. Now rotation becomes an asset. With the club shallow, a player can rotate as aggressively as they want and the path stays on plane. The lateral shift earns the right to turn hard. This is one of the ways we teach coaches to use force plate data in our advanced seminars. When we see an over-the-top pattern and lateral force is low or late, we start cues from the ground up. 🎥: Me and My Golf

With his third place finish on Sunday on the DP World Tour, David Puig has risen to a career-best 87th in the OWGR. Coached by our very own Dave Phillips, Puig is proving to be one of the most promising young golfers in the world, climbing over 1000 spots in the OWGR since the start of 2023 despite playing in less than 25 counting events. When they started working together, Puig had a very common Body-Swing Connection. In our screen, he struggled with thoracic rotation and lat flexibility, especially on his right side. Like many golfers with limited mobility, Puig compensated with excessive side bend, resulting in Reverse Spine Angle. He and Dave have worked hard to minimize his side bend in hopes of alleviating stress on his lower back and creating a more efficient, repeatable pattern. Full video on our YouTube channel:

With the announcement of Tiger Woods’ 7th back operation, I have to ask — is the modern golf swing setting up an entire generation of golfers for injury? That style with the feet planted, the vertical jump, and steep shoulders puts tremendous strain on the lower back. I know, because years ago I tried to “drop it under” like the modern pros — and it nearly ended my game. That injury led me back to the Classic Golf Swing — the one I was taught as a kid, the one that’s stood the test of time. It’s easier on my back, more natural on the body, and I can still hit the ball long and straight. If you’re struggling with back pain or feel like your swing is fighting your body, it might be time to look into the Classic Swing. It changed everything for me. I’ll be teaching it in person at my upcoming schools: 📍 November 8th – One-Day Masterclass in Dallas 📍 December 6th & 7th – Classic Swing Weekend Golf School in Dallas Enrollment is limited, and the weather will be perfect. For details, email me at christo@classicswing.golf

Some hitters constantly pull off the ball or get spinny. One reason could be related to Motor Shoulder. Every athlete has one shoulder that naturally sits slightly in front of the other. That shoulder often becomes the one that helps drive direction during rotation. In Motor Preferences we commonly see two patterns (with nuance): Back Motor Shoulder Keep the shoulders more in line with the pitcher so the back shoulder can work through and drive direction. Front Motor Shoulder Allow the athlete to load the front shoulder in so when rotation happens they can maintain direction through the middle of the field. The goal isn’t to force the same swing. It’s understanding the ranges of motion the athlete naturally organizes around and coaching toward them. We go deeper on Motor Shoulder and Motor Preferences in the Level 1 Baseball/Softball eCourse.

The 90/90/90 Oblique Stretch is one of our favorite exercises for improving rotational mobility in the thoracic spine, especially for golfers with fascial restrictions. This is one of the hundreds of “at-home” exercise options that a TPI Certified professional can program through our app. If lack of mobility is affecting your swing, lack of equipment or gym access shouldn’t be an excuse to improve. Full video of our session with Tyler Duncan on our YouTube channel.
