I have only two training aids that I recommend without hesitation: The Inside Approach and the Boomerang Putting System.

When my swing gets loose, I come over the top. I use an Inside Approach every single time I got to the range and practice my full shots. If I get loose, it shows me. If I'm not loose, there is no harm in using it. You can get it at Target for $25 , instead of golf stores which typically charge $45 or more. The only problem that I have ever had relates to the cushion. It's a "foam rubber" material and it has grain like wood. If you hit it on the side, it absorbs impact well. But if you hit it head-on (which I always do), it splits. Fortunately, you can replace it with foam rubber pipe insulation from a home supply store if you can find the right size. If not, the company that makes the Inside Approach will sell you a new cushion at a very reasonable price.

Note: If you primarily practice at a grass range, you can just stick a broken shaft, long wooden dowel, or fiberglass snow marker in the ground at an angle over the target line. Works exactly the same way the Inside Approach does.

Oh, and on a humorous note, when I was researching it and reading reviews to decide if I wanted to buy it, I read a couple of reviews that gave it bad reviews because "Although it corrected my outside-in swing, it didn't do anything to stop me from hitting the ball with an open club face. So I kept hitting the ball to the right." Some people.

I took some lessons a few years ago and had an over-the-top problem. The pro had a bunch of gadgets but this was the only one we used. It works great. If you come over the top you hit it. If you come through the inside you don't. It doesn't automatically correct your swing, it just shows you if you are swinging on a more correct path.

One other thing he told me was to set a tee 5-6 inches in front of the ball and at about 1 o'clock to the target line. On the downswing, you should be swinging towards the tee. This doesn't tell you if you came over the top, but it gives you a visual about where to swing to. I will still use this if I feel I am not swinging correctly.
