Hard to say without seeing your swing, bit an over the top action almost always happens because the back swing started with the arms and the shoulders first. When you get to your backswing position at the top, try to focus on starting the swing with your lower body by shifting the weight to your left sid and dropping the club down on the inside. The movement from the top is more of a body turn then an arm swing.the arms should drop down into the slot at the same time as the body turns and the weight shifts. Hope this helps, good luck!

A big part of OTT is unhinging the wrists too early at the top of you backswing. Practice the pump drill coming from the inside.

I agree with this drill... The one I like is the 9 to 3 swing to start, and progressively getting a little longer, I usually use a hardcover or alignment rod to make sure I'm not coming too far from the outside.... It's a variation of Jim Flick's 2x4 drill but it's a little safer on your club.

    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
    • Day 204 (22 Nov 24) - Weekly men’s group round today.  Temps in the upper 40’s, WNW winds 5-15mph - was the old man in the foursome (next youngest is my junior by 10yrs) - held my own against them.  Iron play getting more consistent -seeing predictable ball flights and distances. While the consistency coming around still had sone solid negatives as I had two dbls and one triple. On the plus side - eight pars and one birdie.  
    • I don't think anyone will really care.   It's your call.  Just be consistent.
    • I agree, until we are watching the 18th hole in the dark or waiting for the champion to finish and it's been 5+ hours
    • Question for the group. The course I normally play at has 27 holes - 3 9s that they use to for 18 in the various combinations. Is it okay to declare* if I’m playing front or back when I play 9 on this course? I’m figuring I need to declare before I play a shot. *meaning just say to myself that this is the back 9. Curious what people think. Of course, my only holes left are 13 and 17, so I’m going to declare the back 9 for the rest of the year. Probably only one or two more rounds though.
