I've seen lots of guys get tons of coil and still come way over the top. If you have an instinct to overpower the ball with the muscles of the torso and shoulders, you can get OTT with or without coil. The cure really has more to do with getting a feel for swinging on the right path and plane, with an inside and shallow approach through impact. “Coil” is great, but not a cure-all–and golfers have been doing it for generations.

What every instructor teaches--right. That' dead wrong. If you try to put the club head on the target line before contact, you will come over the top every time. You are the first instructor I have seen to correctly teach that the player is actually swinging out to the right of the target. The "swing down the line" theory is a myth. The club head is only on the target line for a few inces during the swing. Please explain further. Maybe provide some drills? Thanks. “Swing down the line”. What every instructor teaches–right.

I teach to swing to the right and let the forearms roll over to the left. I would say 99 percent of my students swing left of target, not neccessarily Over the Top but a breakdown of the lead side that sends the club to the left very fast, swinging to the right will keep the arms extended. A good analogy would be like hitting a baseball to the secondbaseman a the target is second base, the release of the club will send the ball down the target line. Very true.

Easy swings of course. The shots intitial direction must go right of target then draw back. A driver has less loft and will really show sidespin well even on easier swings. Otherwise have tees in front of the ball a little to the right and try to t=hit the tee after the ball. Imagining a clock and swinging from 7 to 1 oclock works well also. The key is keepin gyour arms extended. Practice trying to hit a driver to the right of the target and hav it draw back. Easy swings of course.
