Hey Adam, just wanted to say a big thank you for this genius drill! I have pretty much tried everything under the sun to stop coming over the top but nothing has worked. In the end I learned to live with my slice. I play off 18 and manage to score under 80 now an again when Im putting well but deep down it is disheartening every time I see the ball slice to right and seeing just how much distance I am losing. This video came in my youtube feed and I became intrigued. I immediately grabbed a 9 iron and went to a local field to try it out. I was utterly shocked at how well it worked. I mean I was stunned! I just couldn't believe how straight I was hitting the ball and not only that it seemed to fly further with much less effort. This drill has transformed my swing and I will be using as part of my daily routine from now on. Huge thanks and respect to you Adam - Subscribed.

Subscribed! Coming over the top has been my Achilles heel for so many years and watched many KZitem videos but yours hit the nail. First, whipping the club too inside during backswing as you described (watching my own swing videos I have been doing this), second and the most worrisome to me is that I attack the ball too hard and forget letting the swing do its job. I am going to remember your drill of tossing the club out without looking at the ball and pre-cocking the wrist before backswing next time when I am in the practice range. Thanks coach!

@Scratchgolfacademy
6 жыл бұрын
Sorry you are struggling. It's a question that puzzles just about every golfer. Naturally it's a bit easier to find consistency on the range that the course because we get so many more reps on the range (at least regards gaps between shots) that we can usually get our timing going. Of course we are usually more relaxed mentally on the range, less fear of consequences. The boring, but correct answer is 1) to continue to work on a sound golf swing. Simple, sound mechanics are much easier to repeat than complex swings that rely on timing to work well 2) quieting the mind....less conscious thinking while we swing, and less stress over outcomes. Hope this helps. Best, Adam

Generally, tall players have an advantage in creating speed, but more challenges with plane etc. Sorry I can’t be of more help. All the best, Adam

This is one of them. However, the problem I'm having with this drill is the number of times, I've topped the ball. Right off the tee, I'm OK because I'm teeing it up. But on the fairway or in the rough, I ended up topping it 30-40 % of the time.
