Brian A Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So I come over the top, very outside in. What are the best drills I can do to bring my swing to inside out and fix my slice and loss of distance Quote Driver: G425 9* Hzrdus Smoke Green Small batch 6.5 70g Fairway Wood: Cobra Radspeed Big 3 Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Hybrid: Cobra Aerojet 5 Wood Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.5 Irons: T200 (4-AW) AMT Black Stiff Shafts Wedges: Tour Rack 56* 60* Putter: Scotty Cameron Golo 5 Right Handed Pittsburgh, PA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnosil Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Put a 2x4; with the tall side vertically, outside the ball when you swing. I am in no way responsible for damage to your club. Outside in isnt necessarily bad. Work on closing the face so the slice turns into a fade.

RickyBobby_PR Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 As cnosil mentioned over the top isn’t necessarily a bad thing. The face and path relationship will dictate how big of a movement the ball has as a result. However if you don’t want to swing over the top, work on better sequencing and shallowing the club to come more from the inside There are lots of drills and videos for proper backswing and transition.

dlow206 Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I'm not going to comment on how to make the changes, i'm not a good golfer yet, but making good progress. I will say that it takes a lot of effort and perseverance to make the change. I have been working on it for like a year now. Took more than 6 months just to solve for the inside takeaway which was one of the key root causes of my over the top. cnosil and GolfSpy_BNG 2 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_BNG Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 You are gonna get a lot of different answers and all, some, or none of them may help. Not seeing your swing or knowing anything about it other than over the top and out to in is very broad. Some drills may not help as you may already be doing them in your swing and just have something a slight bit off causing the OTT move. Taking a lesson or 2 from somebody that can actually see your swing in person would be my suggestion over drills. They may very well spot the cause right away saving you time. Finding the cause is essential in fixing the problem so you don’t fall back into the same practice. All causes are different too. For example @dlow206 mentioned one of his causes was an inside take away. For me my main cause was an incomplete turn in my back swing. Not an incomplete back swing mind you. Took me forever but finally figured out that I wasn’t rotating my body and was swing with almost all arms. This fix also added 10 yards to my distance!

Raj LP Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 (edited) Agree completely with Blackbgold’s comments above. It’s critical to understand your tendency. I tried coming in to out by shallowing my swing but what ended up happening is that I didn’t fix the core problem which was my right shoulder firing and positioning my entire body into an out to in position. So trying to shallow my club without fixing the core problem got me stuck badly in snap hook and banana fade world. Finally what helped me was to swing in to out without a ball and really understanding how my body would naturally sequence that without the pressure of hitting a ball. This has actually worked wonders for me.

DechamBRO Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I am trying to work on the same thing, and seem to be discovering what I am doing wrong in different steps. First was that my right elbow (I am a righty) was getting away from me in the backswing, so I focused on keeping that right elbow tucked close during the backswing, which helped a bit, but not totally as I still come over the top (just not as bad, as it is harder to do). Now I am trying to get the right elbow to stay tucked in the downswing. Seems when I try and go after it, my upper body just takes over. So what is helping (I hope) is doing my swing with a small towel or extra golf glove between my right arm and body, and not let the towel/glove drop before contact. On the course I am really trying to visualize my swing path with practice swings and commit to that path on the actual swing (without trying to muscle up on it. I admit as well, I need a lesson (several several lessons).
