Why You Come Over The Top + How To Stop!

Do you come over the top in the downswing? Are you slicing really wide? You feel like you have the power but the ball flight just isn't showing it? In this video on why you come over the top and how to stop will help you to get the contact you need. We're going to learn how to start coming from the inside and learn how to release the face for the best contact. We'll begin to understand why coming over the top happens as well as the slice.

I look forward to working with you much more in the future with Top Speed Golf. Good luck with your golf.

Clay, this is the first thing that has given me instant results with my swing. I feel like I’ve tried every drill there is for ott/early extension and nothing has come close to producing results like this. Thanks so much.

Started the summer trying to break 90. Had a huge slice, your videos have cured my slice. It's gone and I'm solidly golfing in the 80's, even shot an 80. Next summer, my goal is to break 80! My next low hanging fruit is 85-125 yards, feel like I need another club between SW and PW.

Thank you!

Wow, instant results in getting my swing plane coming from the inside with this drill from a 9-10 degree negative angle. Now I can work on bowing the left wrist in the downward swing to get the club square at contact. Big fan of Top Speed Golf. Thanks!

Thank you... Thank you... Thank You. My horrible and game-damaging slice is gone with such simple instructions! I was not aware my perception of my swing plane was so off!

Excellent explanation! I had seen many instructions on the topic "how to draw" before this video, but this was the first one that really worked for me. Thanks a lot!

This is a freaking awesome drill. I saw this video yesterday. Today, I went to the driving range to give it a try. It worked like a charm. Out of 75 balls, I had just a couple of push slices. I had seen a lot of videos and lessons on release, shoulder turn, and other concepts, but nothing really worked. You gave a simple drill with an excellent explanation without any technical mumbo jumbo.
You have a great knack for teaching by turning a complex topic into a simple concept that makes sense to novice golfers. Thank you so much!!!

I've been struggling with the over the top move forever and after 30 reps of the crazy inside out move I'm easily hitting from the inside. It feels so much more powerful, I can't imagine now why i would ever hit it over the top again. I also noticed that i just naturally started shifting pressure to my left side instead of spinning my hips and staying back. Two birds with one stone! Thanks a lot for this video. Im also a member of your website, great content on there as well.

This might be the best tip/lesson I've ever gotten. So simple, so effective. Thank you!

[paulhopkins]

Thanks for the video I have been struggling with over the top for 2years couldn't get to come from the inside went out to my nets did your drill hit them pure thanks clay

[curtiscrigger]

Good stuff Clay, helped me remember how it should feel!!!

[fredPods]

I went out to the range today, first ball I hit I played a beautiful draw, 60 meters with my PW. Thanks so much for your videos. You're awesome!

[HowardScalziJr]

Trying for 4 years to hit a draw with my driver. Thanks to you I'm finally doing it. As a tiny guy, thanks for the help, and the extra distance. #questforseventies

Best Videos on the web! period...Nice work Clay.

[monkeybreeksjov]

Thanks for video. I have struggled overthetop for 30 years. Your lesson sounds weird, trying to get my brain around what you say, but I will give it a try. Will let you know how it goes.

Have always played a fade and been fine with it until I got a Swingbyte to analyze my swing. Now I'm depressed and spent the last 2 weeks watching countless drills and tips to get rid of my OTT.

Needless to say, it's still there, and now it's in my head with every swing. I sure hope this one works when I get home tomorrow.

This "perpendicular" drill worked great today. After 100 drill reps I hit some 7 and 8 irons and my contact was much improved....mostly straight and well struck. I'll need a little more work with my driver though...This drill is appropriate for driver swings as well I am assuming? With driver I'm still not using my lower body as I should and I feel like I'm not as smooth on the downswing...also I may be rushing from the top so the shots are not really well struck. I know I can do better. I see you have plenty of drills to work on and they are very clear and concise. FYI I'm 62 and in good shape for the golf swing. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Really great site!

No professional here but really was bad at coming over the top and i started standing closer to the ball and this also fixed my over the top

[nexxys-marketingprojekt-ch]

Hey Clay, I became a real golf adicted within one year (thats why I dropped from -45 to -17). Also saw tons of videos here but yours a one of the best!! Really like your way to explain all those secrets in golf. Nice guy, nice voice, nice energy (nice dip under your upper lip, right ;-) And BTW what you explain in this video was one of my greatest realizations ever (that I discovered myself the hard way by trial and error).

[attechoutdoors]

I need this one big time and trying to work on it.. it does feel weird. Thanks.

Took this tip to the range this week. Helped a ton! Thank you!
