Hate having an over the top move in your golf swing? Here is a drill you can do at home all the time to help get a better hand path. Most golfers keep their arms up way too long in their swing creating steep swings.

Hardest Drill in Golf 🤯 Hold out your front arm straight and try to keep it as stable as possible.🔥This will stop the upper body from firing so quickly at the top of the swing, encouraging an inside club path and better release. 💣 Follow for more Golf Drills! #golf

Here is a drill to help you learn what it feels like to use the ground and start to sequence effectively. Notice how the club is setup in the video between my feet. Get to your back swing and jump favoring your lead foot left and laterally like I am. With that feeling step in and hit one. Not where you are pushing off from when you swing and try and get that into a feeling that makes sense to you. This is how power is created in the golf swing. This is also where physical limitations can show up.

Freddie Freeman - Inside and Behind The Ball Key Takeaways: Left line: Load inside to create an inside-out, long through swing path Top line: Head loads down towards the ball and stays down throughout the swing (Yes, best players in the world move their head. It may feel like they don't or it's quiet, but they do move their head in their load.)

I see the golf swing as a three-piece movement: the backswing, the transition, and the downswing. The transition is where most golfers lose the swing. They rush from the top, jerk the club down with their arms, and throw away all the power they created on the backswing. That’s why I love the Pause Drill. By pausing at the top, you’re forced to start the downswing from the ground up, just as the great ball strikers did. It teaches the proper kinematic sequence while helping you develop a smooth, unhurried transition. I constantly remind my students that a great golf swing isn’t about moving faster—it’s about moving in the right order. Master the transition, and the downswing will take care of itself.

Do you hate being steep? Here is a drill from Sepp Straka that helps golfers not pull on the handle in transition. This will allow you to hit some nice draws. As always finding a drill or two that helps you clean up your tendencies is super important, start the drill slowly then add speed.

Golf is about scoring, not posing for the swing police on Instagram, even though I’m not one to talk 🙈 I’ve seen plenty of single-digit golfers with ‘flawed’ swings who play smarter, manage their misses, and roll in putts when it counts. Chasing the perfect swing often......

Best Backswing Drill… This is my favorite drill to improve upper body rotation at the top of the golf swing: 1. Make a backswing and stop when you feel you have reached the top. 2. Take your lead hand off the club and push the grip as far away from your back shoulder as

Miguel Angel Jiménez has one of the smoothest, most unhurried, and most effective golf swings ever put on display. Never a care in the world. He simply swings from the inside, lets it work over the top, and then strolls away from aces like he's competing in a Macarena contest. The beauty of Jiménez's motion isn't just that it works—it's that it's built to last. If you'd like to learn the classic over-the-top swing that's stood the test of time, check out my Classic OTT instructional video. Learn to swing with rhythm, freedom, and a move you can trust for a lifetime.

Mesmerizing. 😍 Linn Grant is known for having one of the best golf swings on earth. First watch, you will focus on her club position in the backswing. But I’m kind of blown away by her left arm at top of swing. Its barely passed 90 degrees. Even with driver. Maybe I need to shorten my swing! I know so little about the golf swing lol.

If you come over the top, you should set up a barrier during every range session. @theswingplate makes a great, functional barrier to use. I explain this mistake and how to keep good body moves in Golf Swing Fully Explained.

I want parents to really think about this. Imagine paying good money for lessons because you care about your daughter’s long-term development… and the first thing you’re told is that “swinging down isn’t correct.” Instead it’s barrel depth, elite path, and swinging up because “that’s what the pros do.” That’s where development goes backwards. Most young athletes aren’t broken they’re underdeveloped in movement. They don’t understand shoulder angles, how to get on top of the ball, situational hitting, or how the body actually organizes a swing. That’s not their fault. That’s instruction skipping steps. In my cage, athletes do not swing up first. They have to earn the right to swing up by first owning the down. We stay at the top of the zone, learn how to find the down, and teach how the shoulders orient the swing. The up isn’t cued or forced it’s a byproduct of correct movement. What floors me is how often kids, especially in softball, are taught to swing up immediately. How do you start middle-down and swing up in a sport where the ball is traveling on an upward plane? It makes no sense. Baseball and softball mechanics are the same the body doesn’t change. But instruction must start differently because pitch plane is different. Baseball breaks down. Softball rise spins up. If a softball hitter can’t control the down out front, they’ll never handle elite rise. Once control is there, the femur turns down, the torso gets pulled up, and the natural up shows itself. No forcing. No manipulation. I can post videos like this all day. I’m not teaching a “style.” I’m teaching how the body is designed to move. I’m demanding because parents invest real time and money, and I won’t waste either. If you want game swings that hold up to velocity and plane find the down!
