In this lesson, Craig Jones breaks down the real reason 85% of golfers swing over the top—and why it’s killing your power. Most players try to fix their path, but that’s not the root cause. Craig explains why an open clubface forces you into that over-the-top move and how to fix it in the right order so you can finally build a swing you trust.

You’ll learn simple, repeatable feels like “rev, drop, turn” along with setup changes that help you square the face and deliver the club from the inside. Whether you’re struggling with weak contact, chicken wing, or losing distance, this is the process that leads to effortless power and consistent ball striking.
