I've been coming over the top and hitting everything off the toe (usually resulting in a miss left) - anyone know of drills to prevent this?

thanks!

damn i struggled with the over the top stuff for at least a year, it sucks so much and it gets really frusturating. the one thing that seemed to really stop it was when i decided to change my move off the ball. i began to keep the clubface square "looking at the ball" for as long as i could, and i started to hit it much straighter. Other than that try putting a tee in the ground like 2 inches behind and 2 inches above the ball you want to hit. My crappy drawing should help u come from the inside. good luck man, coming over the top is no fun.

I've found the Inside Approach to be extremely helpful for this particular problem (it also seems to help with hitting the ball fat). They retail for $40 now, but I've heard a rumor (unconfirmed) that you can pick one up at Target for $20 or so. When they were selling for $80 I made one using $6 worth of PVC pipe from Home Depot, and pool noodle.

    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
    • Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
