crossing the line at the top
 

how do i stop crossing the line at the top of my swing? what drills can use to help prevent this?

Are you COCKING your Right Wrist? It should remain LEVEL. Or you could be ROLLING the Right Wrist at the Top. It's a hands or plane thing.

Get two ping pong paddles or rackets. Extend your arms in front of your chest with rackets vertical to the ground. Take the paddle in your right hand with arm bent and wrist LEVEL. Make a backswing turning the racket so it is parallel/facing to the ground. You have just Turned your Right Hand palm up to the Horizontal Plane. NOW not moving ANYTHING, bend over and assume a golf posture. Your Right Hand is now palm up to the INCLINED PLANE. Now swing your left hand with paddle to the top facing your right hand paddle. This is where you should be at the Top. You shouldn't be across the line.

You can do this same thing using two dowels alternating from horizontal to inclined plane of motion. Train your right hand separately. Then do it with a club.

Good luck!

Jerry,

Crossing the Line....

1.) Over rotation of the Shoulders and/or Hips
2.) Over - flexion of the right elbow
3.) The right elbow orbiting too far around ribcage
4.) Counter clockwise rotation(Roll) of the hands at the top
5.) Backstroke Momnetum too great casuing the club to destroy the flying Wedge alignments by causing the right wrist cock...and/or left wrist to bend and cock..
6.) Takeaway too far inside and below plane
7.) A plane shift that has too much "gyroscopic progression"....(Loop Shift)
8.) Thinking the club points at the Target at the Top
9.) Going beyond the End parallel position.
10.) Allowing the Pivot to let Physics to command alignments rahter than the Hands "inscribng" proper alignments and relationships through geometry....

Individually and/or Any Combination would cause this issue...What if you're doing all ten? Holy Smokes....

Yoda's replies are like gold dust...don't take them for granted. He's very busy and replies to posts selectively. I'm always thankful when he replies to my questions. I savor every word. So at least make it seem as if you were paying attention!

Have a good day :)

I love that list Annikan, did you make it up impromptu or what? I'm impressed.

4) is the most obvious one.

9) is the only time "crossing the line" is acceptable, because you are still On Plane.

I think there was a time when I did all ten!

I'm still working on 1), 3) and 5)

Can you please make a list of reasons of how a club at the top can get "laid off"? Some will be mere opposites of this list...but not all.

What type of body, joints, etc would let you do them all at the same time?:confused:

Nice List...

You're right....just the opposite list would do fine..would you do the honors for that list....It's your Play....You're Away!!!
