How to Correct the Downswing of an Over the Top Golf Swing: Part 1

Video Transcript

"On behalf of expertvillage.com my name is Ray Boone and I run the Ray Boone Golf Academy at the beautiful Miami Beach Golf Club. Today I'd like to present to you the topic of the over the top golf swing. To continue the movement of the down swing and initiating with the legs and hips to begin it. I want to show you again, that we're swinging to the top, we're working under and we would also like to get the hips to clear out of the way. So the right hip is going to start to drive forward, the right knee is working inward and also you'll see the right foot starting to roll inward on the down swing. That is going to put your body in more of a C-shape, which again promotes more the inside path that we see all good players, you watch Tiger, you watch Bill, you watch any of the good players. You see them all moving forward, getting their body in a nice C-shape and they're dropping the club from the inside. Again, we need that in order have power in your swing. Most players again are working this way, their right hip gets up higher than the left and again they're over the top slicing the golf ball."
