Great drill, teachers one to attack the ball from the inside and also helps weight transfer and hips clearing. Very good drill! I'm off plus 3. This guy is on the money folks.
Oct 2018 - I am going to spend the next 2 months doing 100 reps a day of this so I get the feel. Nice winter training for me :) - DEC 2018 - reporting back after a month. I mastered it in a week and I can 100% this was the final missing piece and biggest game changer in my swing! I will forever be grateful for this video!!
I've had a ton of lessons over the years and not one professional teacher has manged to successfully stop me coming over the top and because of this my ball striking is weak with a shank in every round! I took this drill to the range last night and for the first time in 15 years I started hitting the ball out of the middle with a penetrating ball flight! Thank you so much for this fantastic drill!
Aug 1, 2020 ... WOW! Of all the in-person lessons I have taken and all the videos I have watched, this was the single most effective drill I have ever experienced. Brought it to my practice session minutes after “pounding the ground” in my living room, and I am absolutely astounded at the results. Have never experienced such solid and powerful contact - swing after swing. Awesome! Thank you so much!
I've been playing golf for about 5 years. Took this swing thought to the range and course today. Today was the most consistent I've ever been with my ball striking. Thanks for posting this vid brother. Great tip!
63 years of playing and taking instruction. I have every swing gadget (2, might lose one), have MANY hours of one on one instruction with 13 of the the top 100 instructors in the world, have hit over 1 million range balls, played over 11,000 rounds of golf all over the world. This is the best drill I have ever found. Thank you for the genius of recognizing that it is not GRAVITY that brings the club down from the top, it is a coordinated, learned muscular hand/arm/shoulder/torso movement that must reconnect the aforesaid BEFORE significant rotation of the lower body/mid torso/upper torso powers the aforesaid through the ball. Ignore all naysayers. Keep the faith, thanks for bringing my game back.
+Jim Bob Plunkett Hi it looks like you know what you are talking about. Many people say let the gravity do the job. I'm with you all the way. The problem is there are more golf coaches than the stars in the sky. They all come out with different approaches to hit the golf ball only to sell their own methods. I'm 67 years old and started playing golf just over two years ago. I'm getting better and better every week as I'm doing a lot with golf every single day. Btw did you try the A Swing of Leadbetter.?
+Jim Bob Plunkett No No absolute no !This drill is an illusion of what really happens ! The body from belt throught arms just passively reacts to his right hip side move which of course he doesn't mention Remember heavy legs ! Light upper body !Good luck
Stephen, this is superb, as are all your videos. I have looked at most on You Tube, but learnt the most and resulted in improvements in my game. First Class.
Why isn't this the #1 golf training video on UA-cam? I practiced this in the house for 10 mins and went to the yard to hit foam practice balls and I've never had so many long, powerful, and consistent shots. What an amazing drill! Thank you so much for this!!!!
This drill provides me the opportunity to follow through effortlessly. It also helps me sync my arms and body. Just an overall great drill. I can’t wait to hit some golf balls after trying this drill! Thanks for the information!
Ive had problems with over-the-top for two years and ive watched countless videos how to fix it, aswell as alot of lessons from my pro. This is by far the best drill and way of thinking. Thanks alot!
I saw Rory McIlroy do this drill a couple of months ago and tried it myself. It was a revelation. To me it does a couple of things. First it helped me sync up my body from head to toe for the first time ever. Next I finally was holding lag properly and maxing out club head speed at the bottom of the swing. Consequently I'm getting the woosh-click that you hear when pros hit it. I don't have pro distance but I feel like I'm getting the max distance I'm capable of now.
I am a serious student of the game and an excellent player. This is great instruction, because it is simple and yet profound. First he gives you the drill. then the thought up, down and around. Many amateurs omit one of those three. In my case, I don't emphasize (around) enough. this tape reminded my of that. thanks for the good instruction. good backswing, tucked right elbow and release of right arm on around move.
At last. A swing plane drill that makes sense to me. Awesome drill with instant impact. I've been trying all sorts of drills to correct my out-to-in swing with little success. Until now! Thank you so much.
great drill. used the "doyne!! down!!, "mini arc at the bottom part of the swing" fantastic,!! hit the ball 50m more than I have ever done! in control, straighter with a little draw! On the money!! Thank you!!
Some tips are good for all as is this one. I am glad I watched it especially after having had two r. shoulder surgeries due to NOT coming down with r. shoulder . I expect a different score tomorrow after today's miserable outing of trying to hit the ball w/ r. shoulder.
I was just working on this today. wanted to see if there was another explanation and yours was what I needed. been in a 2 month funk and I think this will help. great vid and explanation.
Great explanation. Got to admit, it fixed my over the top problem. I appreciate that you showed the proper method as well as the improper ways that one might start down. Thank you for the video.
I’ve been working on this my own way for days and made no progress so thought it was going to be a long road, tried this out after finding the video this morning and within 10 minutes, watched my swing back in slow mo and it’s incredible the difference after such a short amount of practice, great great video and tip
+Jim Bob Plunkett Well said Jim. That's exactly what I thought. You're not just letting the club fall back behind you and hoping for the best. You are making a specific effort to actively PUSH the club into proper position. . And the interesting thing is, the lower body clears automatically - it has to or you can't release the club. Not to mention the increased energy transfer created by the 'push'.
Thanks Mr Deane, for giving this absolute gem to me and others who can appreciate it. You really helped me! Thanks again and please keep posting! Regards from Sweden! (like your accent btw).
I put this drill into effect at the range today and it worked nicely. Kept me from coming over the top and helped me slot the club properly and set me up for success. I hit some really well struck, quality golf shots and compressed the ball at impact. No more thin or toe hits or a variety of bad shots. Very consistent. Thanks
this is awesome!! This has been my swing fault from when I started golfing for over 40 years!!! I could never figure out how to fix it even though I know I have been coming around with my right should at the top of the back swing to start. I could sometimes fix it but never ingrain it and when I play any amateur tournaments it usually rears its ugly head. I shall be practicing this on the driving range tomorrow!! A watershed moment in my golf development I believe...thanks so much!!! Nick in Canada!!!
Good video...just a small technical point , the shoulder motion you are referring to in the over the top move is actually “ internal” not external rotation.
Excellent explanation! Kallassy Swing Magic, a golf club training aid from way back in the day, pretty much taught this, although I never really knew how to use it, I do now!
Great drill - felt sceptical initially but I tried this for the first time at weekend few days ago and it worked instantly !!!!!!!! My contact with the clubface felt solid and my ball flight was high and long with a slight draw even. My 6, 7, 8, 9 irons all went very well. Thanks Stephen. Excited for the year ahead now.
Hi Stephen, love this drill and has assisted many aspects of my swing , however can I ask is your lead leg still actively working when the club is in this deliver6 position or are your thoughts mostly in returning the club squarely with less of a feeling of working that leg? Thanks
This is a great drill. Henrik Stenson plays like this, saying the feeling he wants is one of hammering his right shoulder down into the back of the ball and through. I tried Stenson's move a few months ago, and it's done wonders for my game. Great stuff.
Boy does this drill work. Did it for three days and for 5 min's. before playing in a competition match with 18 other players and shot a 73. (I'm 76 yrs. old. Didn't have one shot coming "over the top") Yes, I did win the Match!
Shot 97 on Sunday and seriously thinking about giving golf a rest. Practiced the drill Monday at home and for an hour before a round Tuesday. Shot 81 and missed 3 easy birdie putts. Irons were crisp, driver longest ever. Still struggling with fairway woods. I am a believer. 18 handicapper.
I agree with Jim Bob. I've been working hard for 2 years on anything and everything guessing that I had to be missing a big piece. This was it. The golf swing is a feeling and I've finally found the one that resonates with me. The ball comes off the club so much heavier and lower for me.
An excellent routine! I have been practising this drill regularly for a fortnight now (works well anywhere) and I can see the results on the driving range already. Well done, Mr Deane!
The Drill: that got me to shoot in the 70s about a year ago.....had forgotten just how much it had helped me....revisiting it again. This drill goes right with Kevin Kisner's Push of the right hand for Width IMO. Thanks for posting....this will make many average golfers better. Not a better drill on UA-cam if you're struggling with the right arc of your swing.
Probably a stupid question and I'm assuming yes depending on their various lengths, but would this also be applicable for all clubs (woods, hybrids, long and short irons, wedges)?
This is a great drill. I tried it and I can hit multiple shots very straight , with beautiful trajectory. This guy could make a golfer out of me ! Thanks a million. Elliott.
FWIW I am a high handicapper. I've watch dozens and dozens of videos how not to hit a fat shot/how to hit a long iron, etc. None seemed to do the trick. I watched your video, went out back and felt a confidence I've never felt before. I struck 4-5 clean balls. I have not tried out on the course yet but i will this weekend. Thanks for the video.
I saw this two days ago and tried it yesterday. I found it very useful. I normally shoot in the low 90's but hit 86 yesterday. Only one stray drive, long but OB, a couple of duffed short chips and a few weak putts stopped me breaking 80. Very simple, effective and in my opinion best tip out there to improve ball striking.
Im off 14 and dont have much faith in drills or lessons after 5 years of my over the top issue. Tried this drill for 40 minutes tonight followed by swing practice and its made a great deal of difference to my swing aleady, amazing!! Might this be the holy grail of fixes!!! Thanks Irishman!!! :)
i warmed up to this drill today for about 30 minutes and noticed immediately that i was taking divots yet again as i hadn't been doing so for ages meaning cleaner and crisper shots. this transferred to the course and as a result had an awesome game. i was huuuuge off the tee, impressing my playing group (including myself). thanks again
This video is awesome. I was struggling with a slice for the first time in my golfing life and was able to fix it within three or four days of working with this
I found this exercise worked great for me. I started it by thinking of my right shoulder moving first and straight down towards the ground. Over 20 years of following golf tips, and this was the best one. Also, it only works for me, if I s start the move with the shoulder, not with the club first.
Hi Steve...After you push down and then you slowly move the club into the ball...does this mean that once you push the arms down they stop pulling the club? Thanks. Gerry
Great video. You kind of look like paddy Harrington..anyway. Should club be perfectly parallel with foot line or should club head be slightly inside to promote a draw? Where is the butt end of the club when you start to bring the club head down to the back of the ball? Is butt end right in middle of legs or more near left thigh? Thank you
start of the downswing, initiated by 1) right shoulder down?? or 2) hip rotation? 3) Tiger said in his book that he uses "weight onto left foot" to initiate the downswing.
This is a brilliant drill. I currently play off 13 and I’m not very consistent with my shots. Practised this at home and at the range for about 20 minutes in total. Went out to play a round and wow, I was hitting the ball like I have never hit it before and so much more consistent throughout the round.
This is a great drill. Sometimes we don't know that we are coming over the top but when the ball goes to the right only we realise that something went wrong. This drill works.
Great drill...everything that an average golfer comes across on youtube has a chance of making a positive impact (sometimes a negative one)....this drill I believe is like 80% likely to have a positive impact on the average golfer....and it is an unusual mental thought and drill. I have not seen this anywhere before....I'm having some success. That's saying a lot if you were to see where my swing started from. Thank you.
Haven't even hit a shot yet since trying this drill but it showed me just how out-to-in i was really swinging... causing all sorts of subconscious corrections resulting in very inconsistent contact... hopefully it helps when i take it to the range
Get your shoulder muscles working correctly for more power at impact: ua-cam.com/video/wADZBlSydMY/v-deo.html
I am a golf instructor junkie, this is the single BEST drill I have ever come across!! Thank you Stephen for having such a positive impact on my game!
Great drill, teachers one to attack the ball from the inside and also helps weight transfer and hips clearing. Very good drill! I'm off plus 3. This guy is on the money folks.

Stephen, this is superb, as are all your videos.
I have looked at most on You Tube, but learnt the most and resulted in improvements in my game.
First Class.
Steven, best video ever. You got intensity! Such a simple move to train your inside-out, lag, timing, release hips....all in one....cheers
one of the best golfing tips/drills on youtube.
Great drill Stephen, mastering the downswing is one of the most challenging areas for most of us. This clears it up. Cheers, Troy
Best tip! Thanks for sharing with so much clarity! Most golf lessons out there leave the ‘feel factor’ out n just focus on external mechanics.
One of the best golf drills on youtube, poynd for poynd.
I have been playing golf more than 35 years. This was the best drill I ever experienced. Thank you Stephen. Your are awesome!

Excellent drill, almost all tutorials seem to forget how important the right shoulder is in the golfswing.
I am a serious student of the game and an excellent player. This is great instruction, because it is simple and yet profound. First he gives you the drill. then the thought up, down and around.

Never heard it explained like that...down then around...felt this in my swing today and what an improvement it made, Thanks
Not a criticism. But for the sake of interest. Check Mike Malaska. Basically same idea.
excellent instruction! i finally understood what he means by this right shoulder motion and pushing "down"
Probably the best drill and swing thought to take to the course . Thank you 👍
great drill. used the "doyne!! down!!, "mini arc at the bottom part of the swing" fantastic,!! hit the ball 50m more than I have ever done! in control, straighter with a little draw! On the money!!
Thank you!!
This has to be one of the most hilarious instructional videos on UA-cam.

Great tips stephen... Changed by driver shots....way better...thanks a lot...appreciated
Best instruction! Thanks!
Nice tip with a simple motion. Thanks Coach 👏⛳️
My local pro got me to look up this drill.....second lesson of the winter and it looks a good one :)
Good video...just a small technical point , the shoulder motion you are referring to in the over the top move is actually “ internal” not external rotation.
Excellent explanation! Kallassy Swing Magic, a golf club training aid from way back in the day, pretty much taught this, although I never really knew how to use it, I do now!
Brilliant tip.I was working at getting the club to stay behind on the course this afternoon but this makes it so much easier

Excellent!!!!! About time someone posted this drill on line
absolutely fantastic thought and drill, thanks very much Steven

Its magic. I couldn't pull my hands down before. It helped me alot
This is a great drill. Up, Down, and Around - A great swing thought.

Just sorted my awful pull out and added much needed yards. Simple and effective! Cheers man!
FINALLY!!! A Slot Drill that WORKS!!! Thank you.
This has helped me tremendously! Thank you from Michigan!
FINALLY A DRILL THAT DID IT FOR ME. THANK YOU SO MUCH, WHAT A GREAT DRILL!!!!
Good stuff. Keep it dowynn!

Hi Steve...After you push down and then you slowly move the club into the ball...does this mean that once you push the arms down they stop pulling the club? Thanks. Gerry
Hahaha... Down down down down! More amazed how much power Stephen generates to make the club wobble after the Down, than I am at the tip
That's also probably due to him using a video camera with a rolling shutter, like a DSLR or cell phone.
Good stuff. Going to give this a go this week and see how things go. Thanks!!
what a marvelous idea. should work like a treat that
Do you go dowyn? Im not clear. Good to see a teacher with passion.
Does this method work for the driver as well ? Thank you in advance
Great video. You kind of look like paddy Harrington..anyway. Should club be perfectly parallel with foot line or should club head be slightly inside to promote a draw? Where is the butt end of the club when you start to bring the club head down to the back of the ball? Is butt end right in middle of legs or more near left thigh? Thank you

I have not seen this anywhere before....I'm having some success. That's saying a lot if you were to see where my swing started from. Thank you.
This has been my problem in golf swing all these years. Think and hope I got the remedy now.
terrific drill to combine with the weight shift toward the target.
Haven't even hit a shot yet since trying this drill but it showed me just how out-to-in i was really swinging... causing all sorts of subconscious corrections resulting in very inconsistent contact... hopefully it helps when i take it to the range
Ace drill ! Just took it to the range an had great results
The external rotation of the trail shoulder plagues me. I will definitely give this a try. Well explained. Thanks
Thank you. Will definitely try n hope it will solve my out to in swing.
Awesome Stephen. I love this "Punch Down" Drill. But does this only work for the irons? What about the driver? Thank you Hammer
Can I do this same drill with driver ??
Cowen teaches a similar shoulder move...see Stenson's Morning Drive show
I found this video and drill extreme useful in attacking a long term tendency and problem.
this drill and also use as an in swing thoght has worked for me...try it
Is it same with the Driver too..??, Thx.
Excellent drill.
