Fixing An Over The Top Golf Swing | Titleist Tips

[@dmitrijuskonovalovas]

The BEST and simplest TRUE explanation of the mechanics of going over the top. Thank you so much!

[@jordannicholson163]

I have been hitting fade and slice for years, I'm not kidding when I say it's been holding me back for a long time, I'm sat at the range right now and I was in a mood so I googled how to fix an over the top swing and I have just done what uou said and I'm hitting my driver and irons with a draw. This is magic and just what I needed. Now just to dial it in. Thanks so much

[@MattiasA72]

Which one did you do? The one with the head cover or the first one?

[@curtismelick2513]

Took this to the range today and it worked! Thank you. The under shoulder plane takeaway did the trick

[@clow242]

I know this is 2 years later but I just have to say this video helped me out soo much!

[@ClaroCapilla]

Reading your comment now - and being a chronic OTT player - gives me hope. Thanks! 😊

[@ItsKryptick]

I have been searching for a fix for ages and this finally made it click. Thanks, great stuff.

[@alanchappell414]

The best explanation and cure I have found thank you very much

[@jaywood9415]

this video helped me so much. I was able to go out with no practice and hit off the tee with only 2 bad drives. the idea of keeping my back to the target as long as possible and separating my torso and hips was so good.

[@Sjermestreech]

❤❤❤ Hey man - I was struggling so much lately… took a video and yes, hit way over the top. Then looked at a bunch of videos where they say hip first and it just didn’t work for me as I need to think too much and then I just hit the most terrible shots…. So I put my cover down and just think about chest closed at impact… I hit 30 min of baby draws in a simulator straight with an iron 7. Average distance around 140 which tells you am not a great golfer but the fact that they all went straight and flew was amazing. Wow, just wow. 🤩

[@patface]

I have this problem. I’m a 7-10 handicap but struggle with shallowing, always have so I play my fade all day. I started to shift my plane behind me and I now have the ability to hit a draw when I need it. I’m just not capable of finding the slot normally as my hips and upper body force my club face to be wide open. Over the years, I just learned how to control It. This video was a huge help.

[@DanLav34]

I’ve had this issue since I started golfing 8 years ago. This is one of the best explanations that actually has worked for me.

[@dominicdemicco]

What a tip! I’m a 10 handicap and have taken more than a handful of lessons over the years. This is hands down the best swing thought for grooving an in to out swing

[@lifesaver3499]

Thanks so much Dave..will try tomorrow..hopimg bending over more will also mean that i might lift up a bit in the downswing to keep the heel away from my iron shots...cheers

[@chieltervoert2729]

This helped me quite a bit today at the range!

[@firdauskamal01]

Great advice, logical and practical, however I am struggling to keep it consistent and have a tendency to duff. I am struggling with over the top swing for +20 years now and it became a norm for me which is bad, lose distance and fade ball. 😢 Thank you Titleist and Dave for the advice 👍👍👍 will work on the drill

[@jack-hq7gr]

Great tips and awareness cue for both concerns!

[@lifesaver3499]

AMAZING..I used tondo this until a pro told me not too..he also didnt like how i let my left foot turn left on the down swing to help my back..now all the pros will let their foot turn so they can hit the ball a long way..bubnba, scheffler, patrick read etc..that pga pro lives 5 house away and i go out of my way to avoid him..thanks for reminding me to swing this way...could you do follow up videos on driving, fairway woods and even chipping (your instruction is so much better than my neighbours)

[@markbraid4433]

Great tip, i always start my swing with the upper body and do the same on the downswing, disassociating will probably cure this flaw.

[@relaxedway5]

Straight to the point very informative

[@jeredmattson9]

this is what i need! would you work on trying to hit the ball inside to out with the head cover there? i’m not sure what the purpose of the head cover is there for

[@asphaltmilkshake4596]

It's a visual reference point. 3:06

[@WAN0N0]

Great video. Thank you for sharing!

[@JackRyan-s9s]

This helped so much

[@lawyerlarrry]

Great insight.

[@redghost3170]

This just saved my golf game.

[@chadgochee1986]

Just went and tried this with a bucket of balls and a 9 iron. The shots felt so much better/different/pure . Would this work for driver as well ??

[@AustinHurley-cy5fi]

2:18 is wild...

[@patrickmurphy4912]

Excellent!

[@rrfelt]

I can’t separate my hips so will have to do the single plane. Do you have a video on that?

[@CNote1906]

Short. To the point. Understandable.

[@Jackybug]

Where is that golf course ?

[@jcr6651]

I know Im over the top..been so for years...when it's bad, straight pulls. All anyone ever says is, and what I have tried is to keep the back to the target longer. Hit it straight doing this, but lose distance. Never would have imagined that shallower plane back would help. Would have though the opposite..CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THESE.

[@rrfelt]

I can’t separate top and bottom. So with the one plane swing does that work with all clubs?

[@HeymanitsTrevor]

Yes it does

[@gabehaigh8303]

This is legit my only problem with golfing😭😭

[@Xtefanno]

yet

[@UnLikeU]

Solid

[@KudaFamily]

Wish you would have taken a full swing with that head cover behind you so I could visualize it. Thanks for the tips though!

[@tr1ckster726]

I need an old priest and a young priest and a crucifix to cure my over the top swing

[@lesleywillis6177]

These people give good advice. But what they don’t understand is that our bodies don’t do what they’re told!😂

[@sionnachog894]

You talk like John Kennedy!

[@lunardestruction]

this is a pretty bad video,, there is no explanation of 1:01 separating the body,,, how so,,wtf does that mean...or 3:12 wtf does keep my upper body closed to the target mean,

[@luckymanla]

the word is ‘dissociate’, not disassociate - ty

[@whitey6317]

Do not fix this!!! This is a very common misconception in golf. Some of the best players in the world swing over the top. Actually most players prefer a fade/cut rather than a draw. Play the over the top, get good at it and you will learn how to shape over time. I went over the top all day today and had my best round ever not second guessing my swing. Finally shot a 79, and it was at the toughest local course.

[@n41698m]

Playing a fade is not the same as swinging over the top and steep. Even the best players in the world who play a fade still shallow the club

[@calgolf2011]

There’s so much wrong info here 🙄🙄🙄

[@TheMizzouman16]

Okay. Do better.

[@brentmar2635]

agreed. dis-association is nonsense. his fix to swing arms over the head cover is clearly separating his arms from his body.

[@MattiasA72]

​@@brentmar2635I believe that's a feel drill. You have to exaggerate the feel to get it right. Feeling like you're taking it back on the outside and loop in from the inside (Matt Wolfe) will maybe cure it and then you can take it away as you should. IMO of course. I'm struggling with OTT where my right shoulder goes out so I will try both these. I'm 6'4 so maybe the bend over more thing will be better for me.

[@karlrz]

Best video this year for me. Thanks very much
