Hi I'm Tom Stickney and today I want to talk to you about drills to stop the over the top. Obviously, we know that most people slice of golf ball because they come out to in we know the right shoulder comes out and over and that shifts the path to the left it is very easy to hang on and hit slices. So a couple of my favorite drills to stop the over the top are as follows number one as you get to the top you need if you are shoulder stay back and letting it go down the right shoulder stays back and down backstage to the target longer and the club has a tendency to fall to the inside that's number one. The 2nd thing you can do is you can feel the club flatten behind you, you can feel the club get here and go this way. When that feeling of the right palm kind of going like this that gets the rear elbow to tuck in like so and the club tends to drift behind us.

Another way we can do that from the top is feel like our hips slide directly into right field if the hips slide directly into right field it's going to take the spine tilted this way which lowers the rear shoulder that is another way you can do it. My basic favorite drill is to pull the right foot way back and then just have a little baby shot trying to feel yourself go in the right field you don't have to do it very hard if you go fast boom you're going to go this way, but the right foot back on your right shoulder back you kind of get the feeling of swinging more of this way not so much that way. So remember if you're fighting a slice it's usually because you're coming out to in. Using these drills to stop from coming out to in and you're going to a lot better off but I promise you if you go see a teacher it will help you a whole bunch to stop hitting the slices and learn good control with what is going on with the club, and if you do that I promise you slicing will be a thing of the past.
