TIP 113 ELIMINATING ‘OVER THE TOP’

A major error in this, or any other, golf swing is the control of the club head path through the ball. My tip on 2/26/07 should solve the problem, however in some players swing action the error is so deeply ingrained that mere words sometimes do not solve it. Unfortunately words are all I have through the internet.
Here is a few thoughts that work well, be sure to keep your left arm in the #7 position until after impact, make sure that you shift your weight left with no attempt to turn the hips or chest back to the ball. Do this while using your knees and feet and the large lower back muscle on the right side. Feel as if you are bumping some one, who is standing to your left and slightly in front of you, with your left hip. As you do this feel as if you are arching your back and getting your belly button up under your left arm. The slide must happen and be caused by the above leg and back muscle movements, the right knee and heel must move immediately with the left heel and knee.
If you do these things correctly you will find that your right elbow is very close to your right hip. The elbow must not be pulled down to the hip, instead the hip actually gets closer to the elbow due to the rocking action it makes as the lower end of the spine slides forward. When the elbow arrives at this position the right straightens and throws. We must attain the above position without any attempt at making any body rotation. The rotation of the hips caused by the turn of the right knee as the right foot goes up onto the toe and the right heel swings out turns the hips and with them the shoulders at exactly the right time and in exactly the right place.
The natural continuation of the arm release with the rotation of hips when these actions are done in sequence gives perfect swing path control.
