WHY YOUR GOLF SWING IS OVER THE TOP - AND HOW TO FIX IT

[@realgoodnoodles]

I have watched many videos about swinging over the top, and this is the first that talks about the over active upper body, and that is exactly me! I'm now converted to this channel.

[@tedzhang802]

Best lecture and drill on over the top problem so far for me.

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Ted!

[@ITS_BOBBY47]

Great idea on the Over the Top topic. Very well explained!

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Bobby!

[@geordieboyjohn]

Cause & Effect & Cure ! Thanks JC for your succinct explanations !

[@kenny-Poo]

Excellent video ! Bringing the shoulders horizontal at the top of the backswing is seldom identified as a reason for the over the top downswing. Its one of my problems!

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Ken! Absolutely if the shoulders lose tilt, they have to regain their tilt in order to make contact, which causes an over the top move 👍🏼

[@kennethsplaine1149]

Great visuals explaining causes of why you come over the top and the drills to cure the problems. Much needed explanation and drills to work on to cure problems!! Thanks :-)

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks Kenneth! Absolutely, over the top is all about cause and effect 🤙🏻

Cheers Professor. Good one.

[@jchowngolf]

Glad you liked it Roger!

Best. Lesson. Ever! 👏🏻👏🏻

[@andylucey6034]

Thank you so much..... unbelievable! I’ve been struggling with over the top for 2 years, just got home from the RAC and got my left shoulder pointing down at the ball, I don’t think I missed a fairway 🥳🥳

[@topgunbass]

Good video. I think I'm struggling with fault one. To much rotation. When I do a practice swing on video my hands drop down under plane nicely. Then when I pull the trigger on the real swing I come over the top slightly. Hopefully I get it soon. Looking forward to the next few months of courses. Wish they were really now..lol

[@jamiesloan7259]

New subscriber!!! Good stuff, bro.

[@Concordeagle]

Awesome work :-) found really helpful. Can you please do more on driver techniques and drills too please. Looking forward to watch more of your awesome video lessons :-)

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud! Absolutely, I’ll get some driver content filmed 🤙🏻

[@stephenmccarthy8783]

Is the same technique for the driver? love the drills

[@jchowngolf]

Absolutely the same with driver too 👍🏼 Thanks bud

[@michaelmason9158]

I was hoping that I was not guilty of all 3 reason for coming over the top. Guilty as charged!! Back to work to fix this fault. Ha Ha. Thank you J.

[@jchowngolf]

Haha have a great practice Michael!

[@chasecruickshank8495]

good stuff

[@philipchan1856]

As your being the club down, Do u slide your hip a few inches forward before u rotate thru finish?

[@jchowngolf]

I shift my pressure onto my lead side whilst turning the mid torso and lower body in transition and then turn through in the simplest terms 👍🏼

[@ferg_life3841]

Off topic but can you move toward the target or shift too much in the downswing? Get too far ahead of the ball?

[@jchowngolf]

You can definitely shift too much for sure, but it’s not all that common.

[@philipchan1856]

Hi, is that your backyard?

[@WhatsUp-bf3sz]

It's just lack of flexibility and strength that causes my over the top.. nothing more, nothing less

[@rexrynuloly2596]

ithink you should level up your ground for your golf carpet

[@biscuitboycj]

I like ur videos bro but I think it’s time we go to the course 😂 I know ur garden inside out now 😂

[@jchowngolf]

Haha I should start hiding things around the garden to spice it up then 😂

[@renegade2853]

This is my main problem. Can I send you a down the line clip of my swing for you to have a look at?

[@jchowngolf]

Absolutely. I do online lessons on an app called Skillest 👍🏼

[@williamgeorgen529]

Did you mean to say "The lower body and mid torso rotates first, then the upper body after (ie, chest)" in your text?

[@miloradjelic7521]

😁👍

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud 🤙🏻
