Quick Tip - Keeping it Together
Full Swing

A few months ago, I'd mentioned that I've been out on the range working on my full swing, and that I'd been struggling with coming over the top. It's a natural result of having played baseball for so long, and being new to the swing. While the kinematic sequence, the collection of motions the body undergoes when producing an athletic movement, differs from sport to sport, in my eyes it is always a feel thing. I could sit here and write out a full description of how the kinematic sequence unravels in your swing, but I think we all agree that it's not something you can learn without reps. The bottom line is that this sequence is held together by positions, and the reason you (and myself, for the record) are coming over the top is that we have yet to drill the sequence into our bodies fully. Join Tim Graves, PGA, as he gives a rundown of all the ways to drill that pesky over the top motion out of your swing. As I'm wrapping this up, I'm watching the snow fall outside. I hope you all are staying cozy and warm as well.
