This Is Why You Can’t Hit Driver.... and The Fix

Coming over the top is one of the most common faults in golf — and it’s costing you power, consistency and accuracy.

In this video, I break it down into three simple stages to help you fix it properly and permanently:

1️⃣ Priming the Backswing – Setting the club and body up correctly so you’re not forced into an over-the-top move.
2️⃣ Controlling the Transition – How to start the downswing without throwing the club out and across.
3️⃣ Matching Up the Clubface – The crucial piece that allows everything to work together and produce solid, powerful strikes.

Most golfers try to fix over-the-top at impact — but by then it’s too late. The real solution happens earlier in the swing, and I’ll show you exactly where and how.

If you struggle with:

Pulls

Slices

Weak contact

Loss of distance
This video will help you understand why — and what to do about it.
