TRANSCRIPTS
-We are here all the time, everywhere trying to help
you improve your game. We're helping now Richie Hall of
Knoxville, Tennessee. Hey Michael, I'm an avid golfer who loves
the game but is considering giving it up because I
can't beat the over the top problem. Please help with
the remedies of the drills. Thank you. Richie, we cannot
have this anymore. You have got to figure out the
over the top. Come on over here. Come on over
here. You know what we're going to do? We're going
to use a little floaty device here. Yeah, this little
noodle. We call this as-- we use this for swimming.
We're going to save your life. This was the thing
that keeps you from drowning and we're going to keep
you from drowning with your golf swing. Here is what
we're going to do. First thing, I want to tell
you is, is that what the over the top situation
is. So, Manny, if you could be so kind just
to-- there you go. I'm telling you. The best part
about this-- I don't even have to think anymore. So,
what happens is this. When we do an over the
top, what happens is the shaft of the club starts
to get outside of this blue device right here, our
little swimmy here, floaty. So, the club starts to go
like this. And what we want to do is we
want to get the club to stay in that the
whole time. Our whole thing in golf is we never
want the head of the club to get outside of
this target line. We never want the club to be
over here. So, over the top-- as you're coming over
the top like this, the club is getting outside of
the ball. And then, you're pulling across it. So, what
we have is that here is this is a little
device that's going to give you some incentive to avoid.
So, when you swing, what I want you to do
is I want you to get the feeling that you're
going to trace a similar path with the club coming
into this. So, it's going to go around and from
the inside. So, when we swing, what we're going to
first do is move that ball out of the way
and then we're going to just swing and get used
to what it feels like to miss this device. Then,
we're going to put a ball in here just like
that. That distance that that ball is from our device
is about one ball. So, we're right here and now
we're going to hit it. Now, what's going to happen
is, is that as we go and swing through, we're
going to miss that-- that floaty right there. And when
we miss that floaty, we're going to be on plane
instead of over the top. And, if that over the
top thing is going to kill you, we're going to
save your life. Richie, we want you playing golf and
all of you that are struggling with that over the
top, we want you stay with the game. And, you
know the other way you can do it, very simple.
Put the channel to the Golf Channel and you're going
to watch us Monday night 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.
Eastern. It's called the Golf Fix and I'm Michael Breed.
