FIX AN OVER THE TOP SWING INSTANTLY (My Secret Tip) 

3rd year golfer, 53 years old, I can truly say FIX AN OVER THE SWING INSTANTLY ( my secret tip) is the most priceless video I have watched to date, and believe me, 3 years of videos, I have watched many. I can truly say the impact of this video directly related to my golf game, is the first time in 3 years I can say, I finally feel like like I can repeat a swing with positive results. Cannot wait to truly prove this over this upcoming season. Priceless, Paul, appreciate you, all your golf tips, as well as your technique of teaching in the videos. Look forward to many more. God Bless America

Just to let you know. I watch Sheils, Mr. Short Game, Clay Ballard and a few others. I must say that you make more sense than all of them. Don't get me wrong, I've learned from all of them but your take on things makes more sense in a practical way. Don't know why you don't have a million subscribers. Thanks for all of it.

This is probably THE best tip I have ever gotten from my YT private coaches. As Paul said...the first ball I hit using this went dead straight, solving a strong contact excessive fade I have been working to cure for months. I could not stop saying outloud..."That's incredible". Fortunately, I was the only one on the range at the time. In fact I was so amazed I returned to the range an hour later just to make sure it really happened. Simple change, real results. Thanks Paul!

Thank you so much for your video tips! 15 years ago I was a 6 handicap but had to have back surgery (maybe from hitting to many balls?) and I went 12 years with no golf. I saw your videos and with following your instructions have been able to play again without pain! And the more I watch, the lower my scores have gotten. I am down to a 10 hcp now. Despite being 15 years older and at what might call an advanced age, with your swing, I am hitting it nearly as far as I did before surgery. Thank you for bringing the game back to me.

I’ve tried so many things lately trying to fix my slice.. this tip right here fixed it instantly!!! Golf is much more enjoyable when you’re hitting fairways! Thank you so much!!! You’ve gained a new subscriber!

This was genius. I watched this video at 11pm last night and went out and tried it this morning. This worked immediately. I have watched a lot of golf tips videos. I haven't found any one who explains things with such clarity and simplicity. Thank you!

Man i cannot thank you enough! from scotland, I somehow got to a 9 handicap without ever relasing my wrists, but after implementing a few of you tips, i can hit my long irons with a slight draw.Before i could slice them off the planet....your an absolute hero!! never been explained to me where it makes so much sense!!!!

Omg...i have tried every & nothing worked. I tried this 4 times & I bombed it straight each time..This actually works ...it's crazy when all the other videos I watched never cured my over the top swing..Again thank you...

Thank you for sharing this drill! You do a great job explaining things with simple and easy to follow instructions without getting to technical. 👍

Thank you so much for the tip on stopping the swing going over the top. I am about an 11 handicaper but still stuggle, at times, keeping the ball from drifting right. After watching your video, I had no opportunity to practice before my early morning round last week. After hitting one of my fading drives, I decided to put the tee in the ground, as you described, while playing during my round. Well, the turnaround was almost instant, and I began to hit piercing drives with my best just short of 300 yds - terrific results !! Thank you so much for this tip !

Paul I've been watching you since revolution golf days. Simple straight talking and makes difficult concepts easy to understand. I still try to touch my left knee with my right knee haha. Cheers from Scotland Joe

Cant wait to try it Paul. You make it look so easy. Thanks

Another great tip Paul,I’ve been putting your methods into practice over the last month,first time ever that my left arm muscles are not sore and swollen,super light grip and not hitting at the ball with the arms is the key for me and I’ve almost got rid of the over the top swing I’ve had for thirty plus years,I’m getting on in years but believe my best golf is still ahead of me,thanks again,Chris,Western Australia.

Thank you sir! This works! I’ve tired everything and this worked within 5 minutes!

Great tip Paul. Tried at the range today and hey presto, draw after draw after draw. Such a simple tip, don’t have to think about swing positions etc. Thank you! Now to take it to the course.

This instructor is the best instructor on youtube leaps and bounds above anyone else. Everything is explained so simple and effortless. Whenever i meet a new golfer I send them to this channel. This guy teaches a powerful effortless swing its unreal how much this guy changed my swing.

Paul, I am one of those over the top players, I tried this yesterday on the range & it worked. Then I tried it on the golf course by imagining a spot 6” behind the ball on the inside of the ball alignment & I hit a a drive about 30 yards further than I had been hitting it with a little draw!! That made my day to say the least! Thanks for this tip, it really works! :-). Don/NE Ohio

This is without question the best driver tip I've ever tried. Even hitting baby draws today. I've tried loads of tips and drills and this is by far the simplest and quickest to see results. Thank you.

I'm a lefty with a terrible pull slice, this helped tremendously. Not only am I hitting a draw now but the difference in spin added 20 yards to my drives. This tip and several others you've posted have made golf truly enjoyable for me as now I can play the course instead of worrying about losing another ball. Best coach on RU-vid in my humble opinion.

This absolutely works! Tried it today and first swing slight draw. Took it to the course and wow, hit the ball great. Paul is a genius.

Sir.... Came across your Channel yesterday. I had a big problem coming “ over the top” and hitting left. Went to the range this morning, setup a station with a tee two inches back and inside, hit 60 balls, clipping the tee each time and not one went left. So simple and perfect fix, thank you so much. I’m hooked on your teaching methods.

Paul, Brilliant tip! Going to give it a try! Thanks

Awesome drill! I can see how it’s helped a lot of people, thanks

This certainly makes sense and is a simple and uncomplicated drill. Thank you.

I've had a "natural" over the top swing ever since I started 20 years ago. It either pulls or slices with an occasional down the middle drive. I've heard everything from correcting my grip to keeping my right elbow close to my body on the downswing. THIS is just so simple plus it helps me with "keeping my head down". Thnx again.

Great tip/drill, as usual! Tks... After taking this tip to the range I can attest that it is a great tip! I have even used it while playing by picking a spot on the tee box, then teeing up as this tip states and focusing on that spot while executing my swing.

Thanks so much... slice on driver cured.... been working on it for 18 mths, you fixed in 10 mins.....

Hi Paul. The most amazing tip I've come across.Took it to the coarse today and wow I was astonished how much more distance and straighter I was hitting the ball. Even had a few baby draws. The dreaded over the top shot has been a killer in my game for the last twenty years. Not sure how looking 6 inches behind the ball changes the mechanicals of the swing but the drill 100 % works..Thanks again and keep up your good work. Cheers Wayne

Great video Paul not complicated I used to do this quite a lot but after watching different golf videos have more or less cured it but this is probably the best one yet 👍

Thanks for the instruction, can't wait to try it.

Great tip. Can’t wait to work on this.

I have looked at so many Pro video's but I keep coming back to Paul Wilson. Honestly, I have watched most his videos 2-3 times over the past month and I finally have a golf swing that is more predictable and results in 5-10 strokes lower. I can now play around and only lose 1-2 balls versus 4-6 balls. I had one game without losing a ball. I am looking forward to attending his golf school someday soon.

Nice drill!! I'm an "over the top" golfer; so much so I could change my name to "Roof". While playing, I know I can't put a tee in the ground, but I can find a small imperfection in the tee box to use as a substitute. Thanks Paul!!

Great tip, your always thinking outside the box...

Great tip! Thanks Paul

Great video thanks Paul

WOW. I was having a really rough time with slicing and swinging over the top and after this one simple tip I was hitting it so much more straight and many of them were draws! I have tried so many different tip videos and this was the best, most simple, and most practical. I just have a question: should you/can you move the tee closer to the ball with shorter irons?

Thank you. This is my favorite golf drill. This Is genius.

This make sense and I'm definitely going to try it. 👍

LOVED IT ! cheers

Thanks Paul, I have just signed up with your hitting the driver consistently, this video will go well with that course

This tip really works. As always, your tutorials are a goldmine for us amateur golfers.

I’ve never heard this tip. I’m going to try it next time. I’m on the course or range. Thanks Paul for this amazing tip. I know it will work. I just subscribed to your blog.

THIS WORKED AMAZING. I've watched hours of videos and put in hours of work to fix my slice. This visually helps SO much. Thank you 😊. New to the sport and am in love with the process.

Thank you. I’ll have to try this.

Great tips! I wish I had seen this video earlier. It took me months to fix my slice issue....and I kinda figured out the same method as this one at end.

Great tips! I've been using your swing tips about 2 months now. Usually do 36 holes when I golf and i used to be tired after 27. Now with the effortless swing I'm still good after 36. Drive has gotten longer and my buddies notice how easy I'm swinging and the ball is going farther. Still a work in progress but not giving it up.

Thanks Paul - don’t doubt that this tip will work as every tip you’ve given me since I bought your Body Swing program a couple years ago has worked. Can’t wait to try it as when I miss its because I come over the top

All RU-vid golf tips don't work for anyone, I find that's the case a lot for me. However this truly just fixed my slice. On trackman, my swing plan was a -6 out to in for the most part. After 3 shots of trying this trick, I was consistently hitting between a 0 to +2 in to out swing plane with longer and straighter drives. Thank you so much.

Me encantó, Bueniiiiisimo ! Vamos a Probarlo

Lovin these vids

Works as advertised. Thanks so much.

Wish I had watched this before going to the range on Friday. I’m kind of in a funk and feel I have lost my swing my last few rounds would also show that. More time at the range with drills like this. Thanks again.

When you said instantly you meant exactly that. After slicing several in a row I tried this at the range today. Hit the rest of the bucket with my driver using this tip and every single one went straight or had a little draw. Absolutely amazing. Now just have to figure out how to get them straight on the course

Played a round in a sim yesterday and over the top is what it showed me consistently. This is my biggest problem and hopefully get it sorted by spring! Thx again Paul!

This just helped me instantly!! Thank you :))

Just picked up golf again after 6 years injury break. Slicing, outside in etc. Oh yes, this helped a great deal and made a huge difference, thanks very much! An advice that really helps and boosts confidence.

Great advice Paul !!! Takes practice, dedication, and focus to work the bad habits out of an over the top swing... and I should be a lumberjack for the way I can chop at the ball. I'll be buying drinks for you one day Paul. Thanks for all the tips.

I’m going to try this tomorrow morning. Thanks.

I went to the driving range today, and this is the only thing that works. I have been searching to fix my over the top for a while... I was hitting dead straight drives and draws today. Can't wait to hit the golf course! A+ - golfer from Canada

Paul: This sounds like a Great tactic. I'm going to give it a whirl soon as it stops raining here in Chicago...and confirm my results. Thanks very much! Best regards, Todd

Paul I tried your tip for not coming over the top and honestly did not expect it to work because I’ve had this problem for many years and no one can seem to fix it but I went to the driving range and tried your method and your tip actually worked. I would like to say thank you and I hope it will transition onto the golf course.

That’s in my top no.1 tip ever 👍👍👍👍👍thanks

Great tip!

Paul, I've been trying to totally 100% comprehend the "powerless arms" concept for two years now. I originally thought powerless arms meant that at the top of the backswing to think "loose totally relaxed arms/just turn them off and let them drop like they're dead weight and go where they want to/like a string hanging loose that will be swung around in the air when the body turns", but my swing using this thought looks suuuuuuper slow with hardly any whip/whoosh and my ball contact is slappy and my distance weak. While the ball goes straight with that thought, it doesn't go very far no matter how fast I turn my hips. The faster I turn, the slappier the contact feels/sounds. No crispness at all at contact. The club lags but I mean lags as in a 2 year old barely being able to walk almost in slow motion. I've had people ask if that was my real swing or if I accidentally hit the ball during a little baby practice swing which isn't that flattering. I think loosey goosey spaghetti noodle arms where I hinged the wrists at the top and then try to just let my arms fall during the downswing. I keep a good but not super tight grip with this method and am not sure if my wrists unhinge too early from my arms being floppy losing lag as well. This method feels more "effortless" than the other interpretation I have but it sure isn't "powerful" so far. (But I do have swing position flaws including an eblow that wants to always raise up too high which may be part of the problem since it causes a disconnection and then since I'm not using the arms they fall really slowly behind.) The other interpretation I've tried is, "have a white knuckle grip (or almost white knuckle) once the club gets to the top of the backswing" (but I don't know if I should ever let the grip get less tight again after that?) making sure my wrists are hinged at the top and that it's okay for my forearms to naturally tense up from having a tight grip as long as I "don't hit or help with the arms" on the way down and that my arms will just move into the correct places automatically due to me turning my hips and body. This is more like your "hold your arm out, make a fist, and turn without moving your arm" powerless arms test example. With this second thought, my swing looks faster with much more whoosh (and distance when ball contact is pure), but it definitely causes me to feel my arms flex or tense up a bit. In this method, my arms still go along for the ride but they are not loosey goosey and not totally relaxed like a string in the "ball attached to a string" analogy. They feel more like a water logged pool noodle or a plastic baseball bat and have definite solidity to them. This second method may or may not make my wrists tighten up more than the first unless I consciously think about wrist hinge. It's more "powerful" but nowhere near "effortless" since I have to concentrate on maintaining the tight grip, not hitting with my arms, and really firing my hips. Does one of these two interpretations hit the nail on the head? Or am I close but still no cigar? Or way off? I just haven't had that "aha/eureka/no doubt about it now" moment with an image or feeling with the "powerless arms" concept yet that I feel is 100% correct. At first I thought without a doubt it was the loosey goosey dead weight arms thought but then I heard you say "powerless not floppy arms" during the backswing since you have to use your arms to get the club into position at the top, but from the top right before the downswing should we THEN think "floppy" arms or just never think floppy arms because that's the wrong idea? Thinking tight white knuckle grip at the top automatically causes some tension in the forearms (at least more than just having them feel like noodles, and I know I've heard you say you feel nothing in your arms) but as long as we don't hit or help are we supposed to have tense arms that just aren't moving independently on their own? Is that closer to correct? Should I think "keep the grip super tight from point A to point B?" and if so where is point B? Should I think "maintain that 90 wrist hinge from a point A to point B to keep that lag" and then where is point B? Or do the wrists just hinge and rehinge on their own after working on loosening them via the various drills so we don't have to think about them during the actual swings? Or am I missing something major? I don't feel pain in my arms with either thought I've described (and can do both without hitting or helping with my arms), but I don't feel really "effortless" or "powerful" with either mode yet. I'm still working super hard on the positions, and turning and feeling a stretch in my left side and uncoiling with my hips fast . That's kind of a (mental and physical) workout! Is it more of an "it looks effortless and powerful to others watching it" thing more than an "easy peasy la la la ball goes a mile with no effort" thing? Or am I just doing something totally wrong? I've seen you hit super relaxed and easy looking shots that still have whip that I can't seem to get without feeling a real effort in my hip turn. I definitely don't feel "effortless" when I fire my hips close to top speed. But again I know I have a bad habit of taking the club up way too early before turning enough and having a high back elbow which causes an upright over the top swing path. I'm working on that right now, but also wanting to make sure I know exactly what to think as far as powerless arms. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

This just fixed my swing !!

that's a really smart approach that takes the technicality out of it and out of your head and allows you to swing freely. This is why golf is hard, it is counter intuitive, swing in to out, i.e. almost like you are trying to send the ball right but then the ball actually produces a draw. We have to get out of our heads. Thanks.

Hi Paul. Fab video again. I played yesterday and was crushing my 3 wood over 220 yards straight but my driver was pushing to the right rarely getting 200 yards. This exercise may help. Will be back at the range to try. Thanks

Hey! Paul. Great tip.

Great video! I cured my slice the same way. Tee at heel position, but I aim to hit the ball in the middle of my stand / 1 driver clubhead behind the ball. So I am doing the same, but without a second tee.

Paul thank you so much for this tip it REALLY WORKS!

Thank you. I'll try this. My 4 iron will be happy with the welcome rest. Subscribed.

Can't wait to try this 👍

Thanks Paul...tried this at the range today. Indeed...it was an instant remedy...brought a smile to my face...

It worked first try omg thank you straight down the middle absolute bomb thank you 😊

Paul is terrific, he explains the problem succinctly, without a lot of fluff, and always has a drill to help fix the problem. He is one of the best "golf guys' on the web. Quite often, when my swing goes away, I just think of what Paul taught me and I am back in sync.

Great tip Paul...I'll try it tomorrow...thanks.

Awesome, that is outstanding. I cannot help but chop; just a chopping, over the topping piece of sand crane topping....thanks man,,,I love this.

Excellent drill! Works with waffle balls in the backyard. Alignment stick is important too. Learning what proper alignment looks like standing over the ball is also crucial

Thanks Paul!...Love you videos/tips , so easy to understand and apply...My favorite still is “loose grip/loose wrists.🍻

Holy Smokes! I was skeptical, but tried it today and it really WORKS! I need to practice it much more but when I could fell the inside path of the club [Driver] I smashed it straight. Thanks Mr. Wilson,.

Very good thanks a lot👍

thanks for the tip

Nice tip 👏

Just watched. Going out to play this evening. First hole has OB left and trouble and trees right. I am putting all my trust in you for that first T shot.

This drill is ridiculously good. Thanks Paul!

Thanks for the video Paul! Im 57 and have totally lost my swing this year. Im so bad over the top that most iron shots come out like a bad shanks. I have been trying to no avail. If something don't give soon i will be quitting this game due to high frustration. I really hope this works and again thank you sir!

I am 65 years old and have been following your videos for almost a year and I have gain more than 20 yds on mi drive and the best part is that my back stop hurting me thanks a lot excellent advices a very undestandable all your theory I will practice this, it is my most common fault

Tried it….it worked for me. Thanks

I will try this!

I have watched so many RU-vid videos and tried everything to fix my slice. To be honest the tips in this video seemed like it wouldn’t help but I trusted the process and for the first time today was hitting it straight. This tip is legit magic.

I used this tip today while playing. I set a leaf six inches behind the ball AND IT WORKED!!! 250 to 270 almost dead straight. No banana slice which is my typical shot. I was shocked and my son was dumbfounded. Thank you

Surprisingly worked!.... hope it holds!

Thanks😀

Sounds good I will try it, if it works you will be my hero

Thanks Paul

I’m the one hit the ground behind the ball. Now I know what to do. Thank you Paul.

Will give this a go tomorrow, have tired to start bigger arc swing which appears to cause me pulling left usually into trees.....will go range in morning and give this a go....need a quick fix as big comp Friday 🙈

This works! Haven't sliced it in over a month!

I have commented to give this a for real try..i been doing your drills i practice them daily i not played so i went today an played i went from struggleing to a win today so anyone want to know if you can help people i can say follow what you say not part of it adding nothing IT WORKS my wallet proof thx for giving your time sure is a awsome feeling being on top again
