Hi All

Please all suggestions are welcome

I have a issue with a over the top move and this causes me to slice and hook the ball.

I am working on hip slide and dropping hands into the slot to try correct the problem

Thanks for any help in advance

In the posted video, the OTT move isn't bad--your forward swing is a bit too steep.  Please post a face on view.

What I see on the video

--you should get your hands in a deeper position (google search "deep hand's thesandtrap.com" thread)

you over swing a bit on the backswing and your right elbow looses some connection to the torso and you need to get your hips more forward going into the ball.

What has worked for me--feel like 3/4 backswing.  At the top of the backswing feel your right palm pushing into the club grip feel pushing the club away from your body.  As you push away with your arms at the top of the backswing, pause with your arms and fire the legs and hips forward.  Doing this will initiate the forward swing with the legs/hips.  Get your right elbow to your side to initiate the forward swing  (if you've stayed connected, the right elbow will already be in a good position and there won't be a need to drop the club or your arms down)

Agreed. You seem to be using your arms in the back swing more than your torso. Remember that you should start by moving your shoulders/upper body and allow the arms to be along for the ride). Helps keep the swing less armsy. Just my 2 cents.

Backswing looks really good, the club is on plane "the butt end of the club is pointing back at the target line/ball", red line.

White lines are your alignment.

On the downswing the club gets a little outside "OTT", yellow line. When you start the downswing try and turn your hips first and feel what the hands

and arms do. They should feel as if they drop straight down.  If you start the downswing with your upper body the arms swing first and cause the OTT move.

At the top you look great and your side tilt is pretty good as well.

Your over all swing is really good. Keep working on getting your hips to turn first and letting the hands drop down more in the slot.

    • Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

    • I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus. 
    • I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
