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.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
