Golf Podcast 161: Stop Swinging Over the Top

The “over the top” swing fault affects millions of golfers, and it’s one of the leading causes of the dreaded slice.  In fact, if you have been fighting that slice for some time, it is almost certain that you are moving the club over the top during your transition from backswing to downswing.

In this episode of The Golf Podcast hosts Frank & Mike discuss the two most common causes of the “over the top” swing move.  Then, later in the show we dive into some quick corrections you can make to get your swing back on track.

In this Show You Will Learn:

• Why the “over the top” swing move is such a common problem among golfers.
• How a “narrow” backswing can lead to a bad slice.
• Why you need to have a good tempo to ensure that you’re not rushing your transition at the top.
• Plus much more.
