FINALLY Fix Your Swing Path With THIS Drill from Michael Breed

[@mattybucknell8584]

This was the best tutorial on this subject I've seen.

[@noneofmybusiness9895]

I second this

[@gtoddster]

I miss you on the Golf Channel. But then again, who needs them. I found you on KZbin. 👏🏽👏🏽

[@winningsocal394]

Been trying to break 80 more consistently after 6 months of Golfing. Haven’t played in 20 years or so before 6 months ago. After this video and the Hank Haney lesson, and with the help of my MLM I’ve fixed my slice swing path, also made a length adjustment to my longer irons. I can now get under the ball with the correct swing path and generate a 6iron strike with a tight draw 182 yards on the carry. I no longer take stupid fat divots and my practice is more consistent. Thanks Micheal. Great training videos!!!

[@bitspieces7116]

Such a simple thing just trying to get right arm under has made a huge difference after having lessons in person and watching KZbin this by far is most simpslist and so easy! All my practice swings now also perfectly brush the grass consistently

[@KarlEBrand]

Watched this video. What an AWESOME drill!! Played yesterday-did the driver drill before playing, sometimes while waiting on the tee-huge difference! Exponentially helpful! My first round in the 70’s up north!! Chilly yesterday too!! THATS A KEEPER! Wonderful and THANK YOU!!

[@stevewherry6205]

this is a fantastic drill, i always suffered from a out to in path and struggled to fix it until my coach gave me this drill to do. its almost an instant fix and gives you a completely different set of (correct)feels to get the path right. i always do this prior to any range session and even do it on the tee while im waiting for my turn to shoot.

[@daviddelzell675]

Michael, I want to give you a sincere "thank you" for this video. I have been struggling with a over the top move for quite a while. As someone who is accustomed to playing to a single digit handicap, it was very frustrating to struggle trying to fix this move. This video made everything click. I realized that my swing was too upright and that my trail elbow was flying out in the downswing. Once I adjusted the swing plane and got the elbow back inside it was like magic. I played in my league last night and hit all of my fairways with my driver and only missed one green with my irons! If my putting hadn't been atrocious I might have been able to play to even par. I'm going to continue using your drills to get these new moves drilled into my muscle memory. Now I need to study up on your putting videos and try and get everything in sync. Thank you!

[@daniellincoln5922]

I have been struggling for years with the "over the top" move and have tried everything. I tried this drill and within minutes was able to change my swing path from -6 out to in to +/- 8 in to out. If I don't think about it I will revert back, but gives me hope and something I can work on. Thanks

[@noAPlease]

It's like you were speaking directly to me, thank you so much for putting this out there for us!

[@Ryang1074]

I can’t believe how simple yet effective this drill is. I find myself doing this on the tee box waiting for my turn and it’s such a simple feel to replicate on a real shot

[@ericschroeder8932]

This is why Michael is one of the top teaching pros in the United States. Great content, Mr. Breed. Bravo!!!

[@timgray7745]

Michael great tip played yesterday and only swing thought was right wrist under left. Hit the ball great and I have to agree ball was zooming of club face. I had so much fun and really enjoy your channel. Thank you

[@richardbaker404]

Bravo Michael, I was coming over the top so much but this simple drill has helped me no end.

[@sionnachog894]

Great, I understand what it is...I knew what it is, but I can't effing stop doing it....right on to the next 'fix your over the top video...

[@CraigWinter-gc6ju]

It really works 😊

[@stephenburrow2624]

Awesome video can't wait to try this Im decent with the irons but struggle with the driver

[@jmags2573]

Most noticeable @5:50 are your wrist conditions to compare shaft position at parallel. With more extension in your trail wrist, the club would fall on the inside.

[@l0rdkeithingt0n]

Yeah I noticed that too. You could do what he did in the good arm position with poor wrist angles and still come over the top. And you could also have the arms less ideal and have good wrist angles and be on plane. It’s all about the matchups in the geometry of the swing.

[@russhughes9273]

2010-2017 mizuno mp-5 player 8 handicapper. Neck surgery in 2018 now trying to get my swing back. This is as simple as it gets. Thank you! To those of you who know someone spending $100+/hr, show them this video and they will think you walk on water lol

[@susan6336]

Light bulb moment. I have terrible tennis elbow right now and struggle with swinging out to in. Wow. Good info and drill!

[@natejohnson6712]

Absolutely love this guy. His humour never goes a miss on me. "Get rid of the bubble on the elbow guys, your gona swim wit out it" lol. These swings are causing that tennis elbow lol

[@susan6336]

This is my exact issue right now.

[@tonynadem6831]

Best ever fix and explanation on this common fault that so many amature golfers suffer from.

[@jimrobison4112]

this works for me. hitting the ball straighter and with compression. thank you

[@dw7070]

Bad habits are hard to break but I’m working on it,now I’m hitting a little farther with a little draw it works 👍🙏🏼🇺🇸🦅

[@michaelstanley1676]

Great Tips Michael

[@aguy3412]

excellent as usual

[@andrefecteau]

it happens because on 18 you are dead tired and have no legs to make a good swing...those 4 beers at the turn didn't help either

[@charlesrohl7635]

😂👍🍻

[@brianmcg321]

Or the chili dog.

[@FD-nz7qv]

Don't forget swamp ass. Notoriously known for causing slices.

[@ZaidRasid]

Finally understand over the top because of this video. Ty

[@michaelbreed]

I'm glad it helped. Thank you for watching.

[@manmon9094]

but it is too late...hahaha

[@bocephusbowdowntome]

At last! An understandable and simple fix!

[@grahamamey3201]

After 13 years away from golf and multiple shoulder surgeries I struggle with external rotation of my right shoulder, I'm right handed, but I bought some second hand clubs a couple of months ago to try and get back into golf. As a consequence of my lack of rotation I end with a chicken wing at the top of my back swing and I've been coming over the top, all the time with every club, despite having lessons with a local PGA professional. I'd also watched endless videos on here about how to stop coming over the top, all to no avail. Then I found your video, it's been like a light bulb moment, the explanation of keeping my right forearm below the left on my downswing was something I could relate to. I went to the driving range last night and suddenly I'm striking the ball much closer to how I used to all those years ago, thank you.👍

[@apaulmcdonough2170]

I remember Corey Pavin doing this drill, on the course during Tournament Play.

[@wlobee]

Can see him when he won us open on 18 th hole

[@Golfer964]

Yea, he used to do it before every full swing shot, it worked well enough to win a major!

[@charlesrohl7635]

👏 Great drill Michael. Will definitely put this in my practice sessions !

[@jaguevarae]

Excellent drilll

[@HEROSLIDER]

Idk if this helps anyone else out there, but just use a mirror to look at yourself to see where your club line is. A lot easier cause you can just look at yourself, correct your position, and feel that new spot. It'll feel awkward at first but eventually you feel comfortable. I hit over the top naturally so my trick is that I tell myself to hit inside because what feels like I'm hitting inside the club line to me is actually me hitting the ball to the club line. Find your feel 🤘

[@edwardbrown6245]

Fantastic drill but what are you hitting to go 200 yards plus..try a 7 iron with swing speed ..helps the average guy ..thanks Mike your the best!

[@golfermonty1]

Great lesson!

[@lettinggo2]

Great advice

[@michaelbreed]

Thanks for watching!

[@franguccio1]

Great visual and a very useful drill.

[@michaelsingh843]

Best explanation ever Michael!

[@brianbileau1192]

I wish I had watched this video before my round earlier today. 🙂

[@glennwatson3313]

That's a very good drill.

[@Tateclipz2011]

I tried this on the range today and hit the ball very well, great contact. It forced me to use my hips and trust the swing. Felt like I was way bent over, but on video it was just a little side bend. Didn’t Ben Hogan say “you need to get in the way of the ball so you can get out of the way”?

[@chrisachille4385]

Great tip and drill

[@marclissoway2638]

Great video, I have been working all summer to try and swing from in to out to create a draw, I have been a out to in and hitting fades most of my golfing days. Now I’m 73 and wanting to gain some distance I feel the draw will help. Have you any other videos I should watch on hitting from in to out?

[@rackum44]

Great video Michael

[@drdontpassone8164]

guy great self promoter......can learn from this guy, any walks of life .smoooooooooth

[@Skypie61]

Michael really is the best golf instructor, and look how much fun he has doing it...🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♀️🤗 Btw, this drill works. It takes repeat practice, but once the muscle memory kicks in, no more over-the-top.👍

[@kennyb5585]

Thanks! Great instruction!! Gonna practice this and the balance tips today 🏌🏽‍♂️ 🇺🇸 Keep em coming Coach👍🏻

[@mikeknights6937]

I like this drill but I wonder why you didnt talk about part of the problem which is the lack of club depth at the top of your back swing. Its alot easier to shallow the club if you make a better shoulder turn and get the arm angle lower and more off the back shoulder. You can see very clearly a different hand position in the first video vs the second video.

[@louisthompson1020]

great education!

[@gerthie]

Brilliant

[@garrywilcox2921]

Great tip the grip is so over looked thanks for the tip.

[@markkindell6365]

Brilliant...

[@what_the_fred337]

🧐thanks!

[@golfingaccessoriesrus2156]

Finally training that helps me. I am hooked. Thank you

[@johnmaddox1712]

“and take all my money from my brother” was absolutely hillarious. dudes a legend

[@MrToyota001]

if a golfer learns to swing up on the down swing would it help to square the face and influence a in to out swing path?

[@jayvenable4279]

Great lesson Michael! A question. How does one overcome the feeling like I’m going to hit the ball way right and then flip the club coming from inside? I can see your shoulders are pointing way right too. Thanks, Jay

[@richs915]

Love your shirt. do you sell them & how can I buy it?

[@TheRetrospective]

great stuff!

[@jcpeel6406]

Liked your drill of trailing arm move,ent! I did not like your comment that “it’s easy”.. For folks who have been hitting outside to inside for a while this is going to take some practice. Don’t over simplify!

[@jonathanmebane3782]

Amazing

[@johnnybgood7442]

We need a video like this for the opposite effect. My problem is that I come from the inside a little too much and want my club to start finishing a little more left after impact.

[@sf-dc2dl]

so damn funny- sound just like Al! Thanks Michael

[@Dallas1722]

Here's what nobody talks about. 40 years of muscle memory will NOT LET ME come inside. The worst part is I cannot feel it. I've tried every drill I've seen and as soon as I get to the top my hands start moving forward but I simply cannot feel it. I have tried to completely stop my swing at the top but sure enough, my first move is out and down with my hands. It will take me 10,000 swings to fix and change the myelin in my brains and that's fine but I have to start with one and so far I can't get one swing. The worst part is I'm a pretty good athlete, have fast twitch still, I'm in great shape and know the golf swing. My grip, set up and takeaway are all perfect but my brain takes over at the top so for me it is not physical it is mental and that's the worst part. I've played for 30 years but I will quit if I can't get to my full potential.

[@georgekrijan1569]

Same here! I'm reasonably ok on the range but on the course something takes over at the top of my backswing. Can't get my hands/arms to swing inside. Hit all my clubs on the heel. It takes so much effort to make my arms swing down through where they were at address. Four lessons with different instructors with no change. No one is swinging that club but me.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Best tip ever from someone who sings over the top

[@chillier8363]

Makes my swing feel more like im skipping a rock. Feels great thanks

[@jeffmattoxjr.4136]

Wow that’s a seriously great way of thinking about that. Makes a ton of sense.

[@chillier8363]

@@jeffmattoxjr.4136 kzbin.info/door/T3iLJlSSUYi25XOADyGJew i heard this first on this guy's channel fyi

[@schutzrr]

Michael, I believe I am getting my swing path going out to the right, but I'm not consistently generating much left sidespin. Any suggestions?

[@King.khan.g892]

Why do I lose my distance when I try to stop coming over the ball

[@johnwoods8671]

Is it possible to do this with Driver?

[@aaronnohren]

Most difficult part of this for high handicappers is not getting below the plane, but then squaring the club face and not dipping once they've dropped the head below the shaft line.

[@Tateclipz2011]

Check out Bradley Hughes 4:30 swing path KZbin video. He explains this well…

[@sspp6585]

Good

[@jp-xe9hi]

I try to imagine the forearm underneath but feel my club face is wide open , any ideas

[@seanyoyoboy]

Just turn your wrists a little more, try get the logo of your glove point a little more toward the ground

[@raykayal1193]

what club was that Michael?

[@wjb111]

This is my issue big time! Flying right elbow causes over the top and inconsistent shots. Easier said than done keeping the right elbow from flying.

[@larryellis7185]

I wish I had seen this lesson 10 years ago.

[@gregorioc8383]

does this apply to pitching wedge and gap wedge too ?

[@MacNmey]

Every club. This is a fundamental part of each swing. Just watch a video of any pro golfer and you'll see their trailing elbow tucked in near their waist on down swing. Every time.

[@OpaKnows]

I know the Michael Breed doesn't answer these things, but why don't you use the elbow plane instead of the shaft plane?

[@Mr.Big33]

Over the top, under the top, how to be on plane during the downswing then?

[@dean3726]

Ear buds. Use ear buds.

[@OpaKnows]

@@dean3726 No, arm sleeves. Definitely arm sleeves.

[@NetoperekMordulec]

If you will not tell what to do with the club head at the impact your advice will always ends up with a terrible slice or push to right!

[@americastrainerangler3077]

Slightly rotate closed asneeded at impact for desired draw amount

[@jimpalmer4916]

Right forearm under left forearm, got it

[@brianbowles9239]

He mentions the bubble as I'm icing my tennis elbow ....

[@monkeybrain162]

Great, you just cured Sam Snead and hale Irwin among many.

[@oldprogolf7292]

Who knew, they were doing it all wrong! Actually the hands came ott but they rotated the left arm at the top or soon after so the club came from the inside. That doesn't fit with modern coaching. There are many ways to swing a golf club (I've tried them all).

[@Slonik968]

It's so hard to fix it😢

[@Igor-df4gl]

Michael, If the goal is to shallow the club in the downswing, why not not start with a shallow backswing? Please help me understand. I’m a beginner.

[@wsc2533]

Thanks Igor. I had the same thought. When I am coming over the top, I find consciously shallowing the swing plane helps. If you compare 4'10" to 5'17" that is effectively what MB does

[@MacNmey]

If you start your back swing real shallow, there is the risk of producing a kind of round house type swing where your upper body is pivoting around your lower body and feet instead of moving towards the target. This will often produce a big slice, or a big pull depending of when you make ball contact.

[@bttremby6642]

[@leonardmartin5145]

Listen to this dude you'll end up like a fuckin pretzel

[@gregchapman2035]

should mention hand path

[@waynep1178]

I have watched a lot of these videos, and they just go to further giving u a million things to think about. Therefore, causing u to hit another bad shot

[@eddieedwards2388]

More swings and slow it down

[@3putt548]

Where’s his rubber ducky?

[@davidcarter8091]

part of what I find so annoying about coaching (generally, not limited to Michael) is the use of terms like "coming over the top, hitting outside in, opening the face, hitting on the way up, etc" I'd be just the same if my coach only spoke Vietnamese.

[@georgekrijan1569]

Exactly! Now I need to research what he means by closed shoulders.

[@ransdell7]

Can you show face on angle as well in the future

“I want under the top”

[@jordondarke1884]

Nobody swings like your first swing. I watch people at the range all day and that is not one of them. I get your point, but next time just let someone who doesn’t know how to swing a club be your example.

[@Michael-zh7pl]

tons of people at lower end ranges who are working on their swings look exactly like this or worse, i don't know where you work but that's a pretty big generalization considering how diverse the golf community is
