Coorecting over the top swing

Question
Matthew,

I have an over the top swing which i believe is due to previous back swing issues. I am pretty sure i have the backswing in the correct place now but my body still wants to swing over the top.

I am practicing heavily trying to get the club to come from the inside, swinging with my right elbow coming back into the ribs etc.

I have been practicing for about a week now and I have got to the point where i am having to feel two things happening in my downswing. Firstly i have to feel that my right arm is swinging back behind my body (this allows me to put the club back on plane) and then i swing through the ball to the right.

I have noticed my divots have started to straighten out and even go right and the ball flight is mainly pushed out to the right.

I am not so wooried about ball flight at the moment as I can woirk on that later.

My question is, do my "feelings" seem correct and what other advice do you have for me in this regard. I am a feel player, i prefer to understand what my body should feel as opposed to what it should be doing.

Thanks for any help.

Jason.

Answer
As a feel player this is exactly the way you should practice. Feel is everything so you are doing well, John Jacobs says the ball tells you all you need to know so watch it fly and learn from it. Carry on doing what you are doing, always regarding the ball flight.
