Over-the-Top Fix — Pump & Drop

🔧 Ball-Flight FixesIntermediate3 sets of 6 balls

What it fixes: Shallow the downswing so you stop coming across the ball.

How to do it

  1. Take the club to the top, then pump it halfway down twice, feeling the trail elbow tuck to your side
  2. On the third, start down with the lead hip clearing while the club drops behind you
  3. Set a headcover just outside/behind the ball — swing so you never touch it coming down
  4. Hit balls with the club approaching from the inside and exiting out to right-field
Pro tip: Feel: the lower body starts down first and the trail elbow leads into your side — the handle drops 'into the slot' before the arms fire.

Watch it in your data

This drill moves Club path / side carry — track it session to session with the Club Path guide open. A drill without a measured before/after is a feeling, not a fix: hit a baseline block, do the drill, re-measure the same block.
