STOP Coming OVER THE TOP (The Easiest Way)

Most golfers want to stop coming over the top but few ever do. This is the easiest way you can stop one of the most common problems in golf so please give this a try the next time you are at the range.
An over the top swing causes pulls, pull hooks and pull slices. These shots can get you into serious trouble and ruin your round of golf. Just imagine if you could hit the ball on target most every time. If you could your scores would dramtically drop allowing you to have more fun playing golf.
The reason you swing over the top is hitting with your arms. When you do that you also need to misalign which is what this tip is about. So why not fix your alignment? If so, you would actually start to self correct and stop coming over the top.
This really is the easiest way you can fix and over the top swing yet few people even think about it never mind try it. So watch this tip. The next time you are at the range give this a try. If you do, you won't believe how simple it is to stop coming over the top.

[@floydgilreath1875]

I’m 82 and have been playing golf for 60 years. I was getting discouraged about the lost of distance, bought your course of body swing and have started getting some of my distance back. I really think using your type of golf swing will extend my golfing for years.

[@paulwilsongolf]

Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate it. You are the perfect example of what I've been trying to explain. This is a swing for life. Anyone can do this because it doesn't take strength. It is about staying super loose and using some body rotation to get the speed. Just takes a little understanding and work but the payoff is well worth it. Please keep at it. Stay focused on your body with super loose wrists and you will be hitting it longer than ever.

[@Mr.Mongee]

i’ve been binge watching your videos. and i took the info out on the course yesterday. For the first time in a very very long time i was able to consistently hit my driver dead straight. It made a big difference as i gained at least 30-50 more yards of distance. thank you for the tips

[@paulwilsongolf]

Very good. Great feeling when you see great results. Now you know you can do it. Just have to let it settle in. Be sure to watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ2un5mMl82ojtE

[@paulnosworthy4818]

Paul as you suggested I have started playing a practice round alone going to start using my alignment stick on the course. It’s makes so much sense… brilliant.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You can do that if you are playing by yourself until you get used to it. Keep putting the stick down every time you practice so visually you know what square looks like. Watch my alignment tips too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGKXiZWsasZ3a8k kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHe9lGONppdraM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGG0nYSteLaNobs

Great tip Paul. Your tip about keeping your head behind the ball at impact seems to be a miracle cure (assuming your alignment is correct) Thanks very much

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you liked it. Yes, the head behind the ball is huge. So many people are hitting which leans the forward. Stay behind it and you change the path. Anyone can try and check this if they put the stick down. Keep at it.

[@paulnosworthy4818]

Paul all your tips are brilliant and each one improves my game. I have now parred every hole on my course which is a links 6300 yard Peter Aliss design, so any mistake is a lost shot. Also when I play it's from the white tee's under full rules at our weekly roll-up. My starting handicap index was 27.4 and two months later 19.2. I would sign up for your Bodyswing package tomorrow but I prefer a hard copy of your methods to take to practice to make notes etc. In the UK any imports from the USA carry high import duties: A $30 item can go to $100...

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you found me. You are well on your way. Just stay focused and keep working on the moves and positions. Do them daily at home in practice swings. This is the fastest way to get it. You will be in the 80's in not time. As far as products are concerned, we used to sell physical products. Digital is easier and cheaper. Everyone has a phone and most have ipads they can bring to the range plus I don't like having a warehouse full of product just sitting there. So digital is the only way for me at this time.

Great stuff Paul thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

Glad you liked it. Thanks.

[@method341]

Hey Paul, I strengthened by grip on purpose in order to start pull hooking it. Now, my body automatically adjusted to hitting more from the inside. Sometimes I will hit these beautiful push draws but my wrists have to be super loose and it has to feel like a late hit. Once I can consistently get my path inside to out, I think I will weaken my grip to neutral. What are your thoughts on this? Most of my shots are still pulls because my head keeps getting ahead of the ball (especially when I want to hit a full shot).

[@paulwilsongolf]

Exactly. You can self correct pretty quickly. Yes super loose wrists is key. Well, if you want a slight draw you need a little bot of a stronger grip. I would point the V's at the right shoulder not outside of it. Then for sure loose wrists. Tighten up and you will blow it right. Yes, you need the body tilting back to get the path.

[@method341]

Hi Paul, I have been trying for years to get the ball to start more out to the right but even when I turn my arms completely off and hit 100 yard shots with my 7 iron. I reckon I am coming in perhaps -2 or -3 degrees out to in with a slight fade or a slight pull. Is this OK if I want to be a single digit handicap? By the way I do this alignment drill every day at the range but maybe 90% of balls start left of the stick.

[@paulwilsongolf]

You are hitting with arms. When you do you tilt left in the downswing. Tilt left and you will swing left. You can certainly play the fade. This is the shot I want. The draw just goes anywhere and everywhere plus you need to practice daily.

Hi Paul - the beauty of your purchased materials is I know exactly how to correct any errant swing - I encourage all of you out there to purchase Paul's online package - a total bargain in my opinion. Paul, you did mention a mat in this tip...as winter is coming where I live, do you have any particular types of mats you recommend since I want to continue practicing indoors?

[@paulwilsongolf]

So glad you like it. I always thought the point of the person learning was so they could do it without me (others seem to want you coming back). So the Fix Your Own Swing section is a big part of it. I just picked up a new mat on ebay. 5x5 thick one and it's great. Search this: 5'x5' Duffer™ Commercial Golf Mat 1.25" thick made 4 golf - no cheap white foam. It was $289. This will last you years.

[@robneathery844]

Quick question sir. My irons are goin right(no slice)and I'm getting them in the air really good. Goin right is a product of what? I don't do it on my short irons. Thanks

[@paulwilsongolf]

You don't do that on short irons because they are shorter. The shorter clubs are easier to release. You need to loosen your wrists. Right now you are trying to hit the longer clubs too hard which is tightening your wrists. So watch these and hook a few: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2mZaYSpidF6qpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXZcoajhN-ehsk kzbin.info/www/bejne/hF7ReIBsrrNqb5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/r3mop2p9br9oY5I Once you can do that switch to firing your lower body to straighten it back out.

[@scottschaffer6589]

I have a hard time when I tilt back and at the same time getting my weight to my front side with the uncoil. Any tips on how to combine the two moves?

[@paulwilsongolf]

You need to fire the lower very quick. It's like hitting the accelerator on a car. Fire the lower and the upper falls back. For those that can't do it I have them manually tilt. So you set up an alignment stick. Tee it up. Hit 7 iron. Purposely tilt and hit every ball right until you train the tilt. Once you can do that you start adding legs and/or hips so the ball no longer blows right. Just think TURN to start down. Problem is people don't listen and always want to hit perfect shots so they never do it long enough to master it. This is a drill to get you doing a pro move. I would say this will take weeks to a month of daily practice swings at home or range practice. There are other ways to do it that may work faster. Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZOoXpuwib2ahNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/pme8iJx4hdOEp6s kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqGkppp6q8aenLc kzbin.info/www/bejne/emKufWp9bbugqNE kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJSzfpJ8iNR7hK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXm2lJyFhpZod6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6GbfqWfgb9nqck kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGXbhoCKmNehaKs kzbin.info/www/bejne/maDKqplsis97bbc kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2mpqYaQiNJ-e9k (secret tip) If you want it instantly do my secret tip.

[@MrKriekske]

Hi Paul, does this also count for irons ? It's very difficult for me, I tried a lot of stuff but still my arms and shoulders keep pushing it over the top

[@paulwilsongolf]

You can do it with burns too. If you hit it fat you have too much weight on the back foot at contact. Feel it get off this foot and the fat shots will go away.

Paul: I love your swing thoughts. I hope this can help my grand daughter who is on her school golf team because she got into the habit of using her softball swing and arms to hit it hard and started coming over the top. I’d like to have her just turn her right shoulder back and basically feel her arms connected to her shoulders without the conscious effort of swinging her arms. She had gotten to the point to where she was then lining up about 20 yards left to compensate for her slice. Am I on the right track with my type and yours together? Finally what Driver are you hitting here? Thanks so much!

[@paulwilsongolf]

Well, I would definitely be checking her alignment. You should watch these too. Need to fix the over the top ASAP. You can do what you are working on as connection is important but you need to get the lower body moving. Just ask her how she would hit a homerun? Would or could she do that with no leg and hip action. Doubt it. So have her do swings up in the air but concentrate on the leg action. Once she gets the feeling she need to step up and apply this feeling to the shot. I would show her my students video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2m6g3uAoLmtr7s Then you can watch these too.

@paul wilson golf I’m returning to golf from a 25 year layoff and working hard on grooving a easy powerful pain free swing. Do you have any recommendations for irons ? I use to be a 3 handicap and used Wilson FG 55 blades (still own them) also would you recommend regular or stiff shafts. I know it’s not an easy question without seeing my swing but would love your opinions Thanks Scott

[@paulwilsongolf]

I have taught many people in your situation who took a break and are getting back into it. Anyone in this situation will hit with their arms when they get back into golf. This is due to human nature. I talk about it in this tip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKaye6uslJdlfs0 I would suggest a slight cavity back. Just makes live easier. Stiff shafts should be fine. Regular are going to be too whippy. Let's get you swing back then get some new clubs. This is easy because to get to a 3 hdcp you would have been using your body. So, turn the arms off and feel the lower body powering the swing. Supper loose wrists is the key. Try to do daily practice swings at home because you don't want to get the arms in this swing. In no time you will have it and be easily in the 70's then you can get your new clubs and go low.
