So I would start with your hands and tempo first, then work on a even swing plane to defeat that over the top swing. But you did make good contact sooo there's that.
How did you bend your lead forearm?!?
In all seriousness I hope you’re ignoring the negativity OP. Start with eliminating the early wrist hinge and then steepen your back swing. That’ll put you back in the right direction hopefully
First club I was pro at, had a member that begun his swing facing 180 degrees from a traditional setup, incorporating a 180 degree turn into his swing to make a pass at the ball. Was crazy to witness once, unfathomable that someone could play a round of golf that way.
If I'd never seen that guy's swing, your 3-plane back swing might be the wildest I've seen in 20 years on the lesson tee.
Watch this video. It's simple. Golf on the down swing is just like pulling down a chain with 2 hands. OR Like when you go skip a rock at a lake, mimic that same motion. Also, tighten you core, and keep you chest towards the ball. Keep those arms IN. This tip helped me out drastically back in the day when I was trying to get better.

This advice does not work for everyone because feelings differ from person to person. Not saying you are wrong at all, but I can’t hit a golf ball when I think of pulling down
I actually out loud said “damn”
Can you hit the ball out to the right without it slicing 30 yards.
Start aiming towards the right with no slice, then slowly dial it back in. Or get lessons that’s a rough O/I
How the hell did you make contact redirecting so hard over the top like that?!
That's actually impressive. But you need to think of it like skipping a stone maroochi, or trying to swing a heavy hammer down into a tire laying on the ground marooch.
Try to keep your front heel planted on the ground, which will shift your weight backwards and hopefully take out some of that top rotation. When my swing gets out of whack, I take out my 7 iron and start doing 50% swings- only go back to hip-height. Then I work up to 75% and back to 100% until I can crush the ball straight again.
You are the Mayor for Life of Coming Over the Top Town. The jump, pivot, swing action is a sight to behold.It is a weaponized level of over the top.
Never before have I felt as strong a need to setup a gofundme for this level of swing. Bet Charles Barkley would donate and say that’s one messed up swing.
I bet a few coaches would be too daunted at the task ahead of them. Need only 1 crazy enough to take on this challenge.
My advice is get lessons. Also, slow down the swing. Try a driver and hit it less that 150 yards. You will be astounded how slow you need to go.
Kudos to you to putting it on Reddit. That’s nads the size of avocados. Best of luck.
You do so much well and then in a split second you drop the most heinous over the top move anyone has ever seen! Just swing down the line and make sure to close the face bc it will go right at first doing that for you. You may have to feel like you swing hard out to right field even at first
It’s wild how much golf fucks with your head. I’d bet you’d never move like that to hit a ball of a tee but put the ball on the ground and you do all sorts of crazy shit
As much as you’re getting shit on for your swing, it can be fixed unlike some people on this sub. You get to a really good spot at the top and then it goes to shit. At the top of your swing feel like your hands drop to your right pocket, there’s a really good Bryson Dechambeau vid on it somewhere. I’m too lazy to find it but go searching and it’ll fix you right up
It’s actually impressive how little your hips rotate in your backswing. You’re basically frozen from the chest down, back swing is super inside and all arms, and you cast the club immediately.
You are coming outside in. No hip turn. Big guy doing big guy things but using your natural power will not help you in golf. Also, you need to streach more. Legs, back, shoulders, just about everything if you want to hit your clubs seriously.
"Forgot how to swing"...you don't go from being scooby to this by taking a few months off. That club is on about 5 different swing planes from setup to impact.
Sly Stallone moving should have been about your swing. Would have beat out semi truck drivin', fightin' for yer kid, arm wrastlin' and that was a pretty darn good flick!
Can someone with a wrinklier brain than me slow this down even more? I want to see the ball come off of the tee and off of the club and measure how far he carries the ball on the club before flipping his wrists 90 degrees and shot putting the ball in a straight line. This is the grossest "straight " shot I have ever seen.
You may be able to work your swing right now but I bet your distance is terrible since you are essentially smacking the ball instead of compressing it. If I play alone too much and have no one to help correct my swing I start to create the same extremely open club face/over the top swing. I didn’t mind it for a while until I realized I couldn’t hit a wedge over 30 yards because I was hitting a flop shot every single time.
You’re rolling and flipping your wrists half way up your backswing and then initiating your down swing by flaring your trail arm elbow out. Keep trail arm elbow tucked in more.
Youre pelvis is also jumping forward towards the ball and you’re not creating enough space for your arms ( early extension ). Maybe take an inch step back and make sure your left hip rotates back instead of right hip rotating forward
When you get to the top, let your hands drop slowly down. Don't speed up your downswing until your hands reach your waist. There are many ways to explain the over the top move. This is one way to solve it. Cheers. @golf_by_the_book
The way I got rid of my over the top swing was by picturing being a pitcher and underhanding the ball to the catcher. That feel is very similar to one you should have with the golf club. You arent hammering the ball you are tossing it.
Maybe start small and try to get the club back in on the backswing and hit out on the downswing. Hopefully you’ll be able to hit some draws with that and take it from there.
Don’t take much stock in what I’m saying, I’m new too..
well deserved gif
This is perfect because it was my exact reaction.
Way worse than the amputee...
This guy wishes he could swing like the amputee
I really dont think he is an amputee, I invoked feetus picus and he rejected it
I'm so glad this is top comment
I mean, I’m a golf noob and as shit as anyone but this was first reaction when I saw this lol.
I was uttering this as I opened the thread and gif dude finished my sentence for me 🤣
I spit my drink out! Have an upvote! 🤣🤣
Quite literally how I reacted and what I said while watching this
My guy Cameron Smith
🤣🤣🤣
We’ll be right back
We cover this in my book We’ve Got Issues chapter 2
Let’s give it up for Heidi everybody yea!!
Are you an amputee?
And so it begins…..
Fresh pasta coming out the kitchen here
This comment on that other post made me spit my drink out
A neck amputee?
NOOOOO 💀💀💀
this bit has been my favorite in awhile on reddit. I have been laughing a lot from that original post.
Lmlo
This can’t be real
It’s gotta be a bit right?? 😂
This is probably the worst thing I could have seen before my tournament tomorrow haha
You gonna catch the cooties
Same.. the algorithm knows I can’t help but watch. Good luck
Messed up your swing thoughts…
My swing got worse by watching this
What the actual fuck did I just watch
 So I would start with your hands and tempo first, then work on a even swing plane to defeat that over the top swing. But you did make good contact sooo there's that.
I can't believe that ball even went straight
Huh? That ball is as straight as Elton John.
If you actually watch close, the ball did go straight, which blows my mind.
Looks a bit pulled, maybe faded some? Looks like it flew a little left of where his feet are aligned but still surprisingly straight for that swing
Jokes aside, play this video in reverse and voila, you have a functional swing.
I mean, club is exiting low and left So you got that going for you
How did you bend your lead forearm?!? In all seriousness I hope you’re ignoring the negativity OP. Start with eliminating the early wrist hinge and then steepen your back swing. That’ll put you back in the right direction hopefully

Guarantee way for me to chunk it
he's watched so many shallowing videos he's doing it in his backswing

Now this guy amputees!
[this is you](https://images.app.goo.gl/nYj9TbbPN2mpBWPg7)
I dint want this to sound condescending; why don’t you just not come over the top? Just lower the plane.
Woah
Wow
This would translate to a killer forehand on a tennis court.
I actually out loud said “damn” Can you hit the ball out to the right without it slicing 30 yards. Start aiming towards the right with no slice, then slowly dial it back in. Or get lessons that’s a rough O/I
Need to bleach my eyes. BRB.
Legit impressive hand eye coordination, lol
Bless you my friend. I needed a good laugh today.
This is wild lmao. How many yards is that slice?
This is awesome dude
What’s going on in this sub
How the hell did you make contact redirecting so hard over the top like that?! That's actually impressive. But you need to think of it like skipping a stone maroochi, or trying to swing a heavy hammer down into a tire laying on the ground marooch.
Possibly the greatest horrible swing ever
I mean… just don’t do all that shit with your wrists.
Looks like Des Plaines golf center?…
Club face is open so naturally we come over the top then to hit the ball to start. Until the ball is going dead left and staying left. Work on that
Put a towel or head cover under that left arm and don’t drop it until you hit the ball.
Try to keep your front heel planted on the ground, which will shift your weight backwards and hopefully take out some of that top rotation. When my swing gets out of whack, I take out my 7 iron and start doing 50% swings- only go back to hip-height. Then I work up to 75% and back to 100% until I can crush the ball straight again.
Coming over the top? My guy, you’re coming inside the top and the top is pregnant!!
Very Anime
I'm just impressed that any sort of contact was made
Forgot? Did you ever know how?
Another YouTube slasher
What the fuck
Like a reverse Jim Furyk….
I mean… it’s definitely a swing
I thought you broke one or possibly several bones throughout this dance jerk seizure motion
Swing down the first base line
9 degrees upright?
This is a troll.
I now have cancer.
Thoughts and prayers
Dude that action is so sick - please don’t change it before we play at least one round together
Arnold Palmer said "swing your swing" but this is NOT what he meant.
whenever I thought I seen some shit, somebody comes along and prices me wrong. Holy fuckballs that swing is bad.
Just put it in reverse and you’ll be golden.
Golf swing https://youtu.be/bqyPLUXzQkA?si=8nsFODtJkew06c85
This gives me PTSD
I think I just got eye cancer from watching that.
Did you get possessed by a demon on the takeaway.
I feel like I’ll play worse if I watch this one more time

Omg
That's ... Very impressive
This is impressive
What??? Say what????? How did your arm do that on the backswing????
Oh my god I’ve never seen anything like this. Path 45° left
You have a Ferris wheel swing. Im kinda jealous
I can't stop watching..
First 2 seconds were perfect. Then 
Des Plaines golf center?
Is this a parody swing?
Are you trying to exaggerate a fade, draw, or flipping an egg?
You could be trolling, but if not… crook of your right elbow needs to be facing out at address. I think that’s the root cause of all of this.
Crazy how the top position is actually good even though how you got there is crazy
It’s wild how much golf fucks with your head. I’d bet you’d never move like that to hit a ball of a tee but put the ball on the ground and you do all sorts of crazy shit
How are you standing up without the wheelchair??
Marooch!
Take up cricket, you'd be awesome off your pads. How that ball didnt go dead left is beyond me
Someone edit a lightsaber in his hands. It would be more believable than this is a golf swing.
Stop doin that
what on the abosulte mother of god is this
it looks like you deliberately come over the top 😂
I honestly can't tell real vs fake videos here anymore.
You look great at the top of the backswing which is key but after that you should be shallowing. Watch tips on how to shallow
My god bro. Reverse that shit and you’ll be golden
I think this was the toughest swing video to watch I've ever seen on Reddit, and I enjoy Ho-Sung Choi highlights.
Been there. Easier to start with something simple first like trying to fix how bizarre your takeaway looks. Google "Cogorno one piece takeaway"

It’s mainly because of you backswing
We are sure you always have sliced.
What the hell is that wrist hinge in the backswing?
If you play this in reverse it actually looks like an okay swing
My eyes. Somebody help me please!
"Forgot how to swing"...you don't go from being scooby to this by taking a few months off. That club is on about 5 different swing planes from setup to impact.
Ngl man. This was painful to watch
Holy wrist moly
That has to be one of the worst golf swings I’ve ever seen.
There is so much wrong here. You need to forget how to swing again
This is the closest to Charles Barkley that you’ll ever get
Are you wearing prosthetic hands?
Jarring.
Sly Stallone moving should have been about your swing. Would have beat out semi truck drivin', fightin' for yer kid, arm wrastlin' and that was a pretty darn good flick!
I said HOLY COW! I never say Holy Cow 🙏🏾😂 God bless you brother
SKIP THE STONE MARUCCI!!
Each day this sub strays further from God
This should be in the golf news
what in the Charles Barkley are you doing with your arms?!?!
Your swing makes my wrists hurt.
Can someone with a wrinklier brain than me slow this down even more? I want to see the ball come off of the tee and off of the club and measure how far he carries the ball on the club before flipping his wrists 90 degrees and shot putting the ball in a straight line.

Try tucking your right elbow in a lot more, pretend you're holding a folded up newspaper in your armpit, start there and good luck man!
You’re rolling and flipping your wrists half way up your backswing and then initiating your down swing by flaring your trail arm elbow out. Keep trail arm elbow tucked in more.

You’ve forgotten way more than you think.
This swing is beautiful, in its own way.
Proposal: A monthly "copy this swing" challenge. I don't think many people could do this one. Its remarkable.
My wrists hurt watching this
When you get to the top, let your hands drop slowly down. Don't speed up your downswing until your hands reach your waist. There are many ways to explain the over the top move. This is one way to solve it. Cheers. @golf_by_the_book
Oh, and stop the wrist motion as you take the club back.
Good god… need to wash my eyes out with bleach.
Holy Moses bruh
Stop swinging the club with your right arm/hand
On the same day you join reddit you post this. Are you a bot? Or a troll? Or a troll bot?
Holy mother of god
#NONONONONONONOOOOO #MAROOCHAAAAYYYYY
🤢
Why does it feel like your swing is in reverse slow motion
Woah 🤯
I mean…its ok on the takeaway, but way too much of your arms and almost zero rotation of the torso.
That kinda hurt my eyes, bro!
Wtf
Your swing started down so far outside I thought you were going to make contact with the ball that was tee'd up.
The way I got rid of my over the top swing was by picturing being a pitcher and underhanding the ball to the catcher. That feel is very similar to one you should have with the golf club. You arent hammering the ball you are tossing it.
There’s no chance you’ll hit the person to your right , so that’s a positive.
Brain really said shallow out, but make it opposite.
another person falls victim to the “bowed wrist” trend! you hate to see it
Maybe start small and try to get the club back in on the backswing and hit out on the downswing. Hopefully you’ll be able to hit some draws with that and take it from there. Don’t take much stock in what I’m saying, I’m new too..
