Don’t hit From the Top
February 3, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: endbradley When you reach the top of your backswing and start back down to the ball by throwing your hands at the ball, you are “hitting from the top.” Hitting from the top causes your hands to get outside the swing-path on the way down. For amateur golfers it's disastrous.
Corrective techniques: 1) Try to strike the ball on the toe of the club. 2) Strengthen the grip (roll the hands more to the right). 3) Rotate the left forearm going back. 4) On the way down rotate the left arm and hand to the left.
The purpose is to draw the ball from right to left, to do so you have to swing the club from the inside which should cure hitting from the top.
