I have had and still have a very bad habit of coming over the top. I started working with a new pro this year and he has helped using keep the club head infront of my hands and handle in then flattening the club on the down swing. he has also got me in a better posture. after a lot of good practice and one ok round, today I went to the range using the methods I learned and boom. over the top is back and I can not controll it. for some reason my back shoulder (right) wants to start the down swing by going out, I even tried just to get my left shoulder to go up to start the swing but my right shoulder won't let it happen. irons are ok with it but I canot get it under controll with my woods. this over the top started bad early last year when a different instructer wanted me to get more weight forward during the down swing. any suggestions? anyone deal with this problem? thanks, Tom.

I would take a look at how far forward the weight is getting on the downswing.

A drill that helped me, from the Golf Channel is - lead with the right elbow on the downswing (if you are a righty), as if your trying to hit the ball with your elbow.  This gets your hand to drop and helps eliminate the flip.

Under your front foot (left if you're a righty) is a an accelerator. Stomp down on it HARD to start your downswing. This should help get your weight forward which makes it hard to come OTT. As a bonus it'll probably give your distance a big boost too.
