PLEASE PLEASE...I need tips for correcting an overswing..if you need a video i should have one tomorrow.


Please whatever u got..this is my BIGGEST problem..ive had it on and off for 3 months.

I've had the same problem, and it's been very difficult to correct, as you know. I take the club back like I'm taking a 3/4 swing and when I look over my shoulder I am amazed at how far back the club really is. I also don't let my left arm bend. By keeping it straight I can't overswing. I know some will argue that it's okay to bend the left arm, and it is, but not for me. By not letting my left arm bend it's impossible for me to overswing.

stand in front of a mirror and swing so the club is only 3/4 back keep doing this till u get the feel then hit some balls take 4-5 practice swings to every 1 full swing make sure u stop on ur backswing to check were the club is

I don't know if you mean an overly long swing or swinging too hard...practicing hitting balls with your feet together will help the overly hard swing as your balance will be lost with anything less than a smooth swing...

This is what I do for the overswing... whether it is long backswing or swinging too hard, it works for both. Another one that I use for both before a round is to get a small bucket of range balls, and hit shots with a half back swing. Arm goes back to parallel with the ground, full wrist set, and just focus on being smooth through the ball from there. It's amazing how far you can actually hit the ball like this. 10-15 of those, then finishing off the bucket with some swings at 80% will usually fix the overswing for the day.

Also, during the round, you just gotta remember that swinging hard will only gain you small amount of extra yardage. Conversely, poor timing or off center hits from swinging too hard will lose you a great amount of yardage AND accuracy. It just isn't worth it, so swing at 80%... take an extra club if need be.

My problem was swinging to hard at the beginning of the transition. Now I am working at swinging hard, but at the moment of impact. It feels weird, but when I execute I get quite a bit more distance.

My overswing isnt swing hard...Its just bring the club to parallel and letting my left arm bend a bit and breaking my wrist which drops the club at the top of my backswing.

I've seen people hit balls with their feet together..it doesnt let them make a full swing...but will it actually help?

Pretend your body is a rubber band when you swing. Coil on the way back and uncoil on the way down. Picture that thought when you start back down at the ball. You coil and create a great amount of tension and kinetic energy at the split second before you start the downswing. If you break your left arm and let your wrists sag, alot of that energy goes to waste and you end up with a very inefficient swing.

I have been told to start the swing ...esp tee shots...at 75% but finish at 100% by accelerating thru the ball...that helps me..... if that makes sense....
