Hello Shawn,
Great video! I struggled with an over the top move for a couple years, and have pretty much eliminated that from my swing, especially since finding your channel and only following your instruction now. My anti over the top move does have me missing with a fairly regular big block ~15 degrees or so right (right handed). The ball starts there and stays there. I have a very strong grip now (Savvy grip). I know it is a big assumption without seeing my swing, but assuming I am releasing to the right of my intermediate point, with a strong enough grip, does my issue sound like a release issue? I have always felt a bit under active with my release. Not sure if I should try to go even stronger with my grip, or work on a better release…. I don’t think I can strengthen my grip much more, as I am feeling a lot of tension in my left forearm already. I love the work you you all are doing!!
Work on the release for sure! See the “snap release polish video”
then work on fades! So many golfers overdo the anti-over the top inside to outside and develop a whole other set of problems! Simply throwing the club through the arc-blur to the right edge or left edge for fade is IMPOSSIBLE TO GO OVER THE TOP. When throwing the club, the club lags behind the hands and has NO CHOICE but to come from the inside. If you add YOUR anti over the top on top of that it become overkill.
Why was over the top a problem in the first place? Target was ball. Change the target, and the way to get there, and no more over the top.
Good Morning!
I started working with your program only a few days ago, love it and see already how much I could approve – but to be honest – it takes time and rehearsal. What I noticed today was, that a strong grip doesn’t automatically mean the club face is closed 🙂
My experience was (or is) that especially at the beginning you have to always check your grip as well as is the club face is opened or closed. When not using caution I tend to imagine I have a strong grip with a closed face, but in reality my face would be clearly open at impact. Please correct me if I’m wrong 😉
Have a great day!
Hi Thomas! I often see as a teacher how a student will unknowingly shift the grip just before they swing; especially happens when they ground the club behind the ball; they feel a different balance in their hands and brain does not like it because it cannot predict what will happen. So to help the anxiety from that, it shifts back to what it feels comfortable with.
So after you see (if you have not done so yet) the “goldie locks series” and “predict contact” as well as “draw fine tuning”, when you are out hitting shots, after you take your grip and have established a grip-club relation strong enough where you feel the ball will draw back after you deliver to the right of the intermediate point, do not ground the club to give you any opportunity to re-grip and stay with the prediction process and just deliver your task completely and observe what happens. Also see the first video in “the consistency series” to see just how closed is still well acceptable! 😀👍
I don’t know if this makes sense, but I was playing around with the lead hand release and levitation. I noticed that if I take the club back slightly higher, pause, and keep the lead arm straight through impact (or attempt to keep it straight, not letting the elbow collapse too much)…. it improves my contact and consistency. Not sure why. Does this make sense? Any videos on this lead arm thing?
What you just improved on was the TONE with which you are performing your task! Like the different kind of grasses to cut through in the “grass whip training” video and the different types of scenarios in the “pre-motor cortex” series! 😀👍
