Ok so this is my problem I've researched all over the internet how to stop coming over the top. I've found 100 different drills but I'm still doing it 50% of the time causing either a weak slice or a solid contact pull. Anyone know of a simple fix to this?

Hi..and welcome to the sandtrap site (TST)

Try searching here on this site as there is an abundant amount of information available here.

For me, swinging a little right of target (I'm Right handed) helped some with the OTT (over the top), but the biggest help for me was working on getting my hands in front of the ball at impact and swinging a little right.

Have fun searching here, and I hope you have a lot of time set aside for reading...cause with so much info here you will be quite busy.

Just noticed your index...never mind what I said as you are leap years ahead of me in skill

      Day 22: mirror work for a while. Working on my elbow in the downswing - keeping it in a better position.

      New Maxfli Forged Irons - $800!

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      Has anyone played the new Maxfli forged irons? For the first time in I don't know how many years, they have come out with new clubs. From what I read, Maxfli was bought by Taylor Made a long time ago which then took all of their ball making technology and patents in order to get into that market. The club business was left to whither and the reorganized company, now a part of Dicks / Golfworks / Maltby, is producing these new clubs. (Their Tour X balls which I play are really good.) Anyway, I tried them both out at Golf Galaxy. There's a player's distance iron (XC-3) and a blade (XC-2) and both feel really, really nice, almost "Mizuno-like" in their soft buttery feel and they're a bargain at $800 for a set. I'm planning to ditch my Titleist's and want to go back to a forged iron. I almost pulled the trigger on the Mizuno Pro-245's last summer, but a damaged tendon sheath in my finger combined with a back injury messed up my golf game so I held off. Now the Pro-245's are no longer available, soon to be replaced by the MX-15. (At twice the price of the Maxfli's...that's what got my attention in the first place.) If anyone has played with the new Maxfli's or just tried them out like I did, let me know what you think.
