    "over the top" compared to "two-plane"

    Is there a difference here? Even if I swing smoothly I still come over the top a little bit, according to people who have watched me. I hit it straight anyway a lot of the time, but my misses are a pull with a smoother swing, and a slice if I'm trying to kill it. I can sortof feel out a fade or a draw if I need it and have a level lie.

    I'm wondering if I just have a two-plane swing? What are the differences between over-the-top and two-plane? I try hard not to swing over the top but really just don't get how!

    They're different. Over the top refers to coming "over the top" of the plane, which results in cutting across the ball outside-to-in. That swing shape creates pulls and the cuts/slices.

    But that's completely different than a two-plane swing, which simply means that you have one plane for your backswing and one for your downswing.

    Over-the-top moves can happen in any kind of golf swing, and simply mean you come over the proper downswing plane.

    thanks for the quick reply. Now that I think on it, I might be aiming right of the target and pulling the ball towards it.. I will have to take a close look at that at the range today.

    The momentus was supposed to help with coming over the top :S Any devices that work really well for this?
