| ARE YOU A NEUTRAL, RIGHT OR LEFT HAND DOMINANT GOLFER? |
PANAMA CITY, Florida - It's always been my good fortune to sense when a situation doesn't feel quite right. Not only has this intuition protected me from countless foolish investments over the years, it enabled me to realize early on that I'd never be able to swing a golf club like Tom Watson. I went on to create the great OVER THE TOP GOLF swing - a sensible instruction method by which amateur golfers can use natural body motions to optimize their golf swings. But before learning my lesson, available now as an easy to follow eBook, it's important to identify whether you are a neutral, right hand (or right side) dominant or left hand (or left side) dominant golfer. Yes, you can be all three but most people rely on only one dynamic to strike at the golf ball.
A neutral approach in the golf swing essentially involves both right and left hands and arms working in tandem. I liken this dynamic to swinging a baseball bat. A right side dominant approach resembles hammering a nail. A left hand dominant approach can be likened to tossing a frisbee or a backhanded swing in tennis or ping pong.
How does a golfer take advantage of his or her innate tendencies to employ one dynamic over the others? It's especially difficult to recognize what comes natural after a golfer is taught to swing the club a certain way. But if that feeling can be acquired, the advantages are enormous, especially in terms of consistency. Once dialed in to the appropriate golf swing dynamic, it's then a matter of adjusting stance, swing speed, distance from the ball, aiming points, etc. to fine tune it to where it repeats and repeats.
Golf swing dynamics is where I begin in my OVER THE TOP GOLF instructional eBook. Like the title of this article says, it's pre-instruction instruction. Whether you sport a conventional golf swing from lessons or are in the process of trying to learn something new, recognizing and optimizing your core strengths is a major building block. Often the foundations we inherit from golf pros are weak and ill-suited toward our natural tendencies. OVER THE TOP GOLF is a golf swing method that enables golfers to build workable swings on troubled ground and I'm sure there are others. Neutral, right hand and left hand dominant golfers would be well served to focus on the one dynamic that feels right before experimenting with others.

Absolutely always been right hand dominant.
Watched your lesson in ebook and am looking forward to what seems like a very sensible golf swing.
Your ebook is entertaining and informative. Great drawings!
I have written to you a couple times before to praise you for the incredible motivation you provide as well as the kick ass golf swing that I am completely addicted to. I just came back from Florida with my foursome and was so happy to be more than competetive within the group.
Regarding golf instruction, I don’t have a problem with learning. But what I can’t stand is when a golf pros uses a tired method from 20 years earlier. I want a golf instructor who excels at the profession, not one who can only teach old hat. I don’t care how good you look (or don’t look)as long as you play a decent game of golf. Your ebook impressed me because it was innovative.
Always something new in golf instruction. Great ebook....surpasses your Over The Top Golf DVD!
I was always taught to be left hand dominant and never really considered any other dynamic. I can see after viewing your ebook how using both right and left hand dominant swings would add another weapon to my arsenal.
I liked your ebook!!
Great tool not for people who are just starting, but for those, which are already playing, like me
If you are serious about your goals, you will have more incentive to work hard when you lack confidence in your abilities. In fact, low confidence is only demotivating when you are not serious about your goals.
Most people like the idea of being exceptional, but not enough to do what it takes to achieve it. Most golfers want to have a great swing, but few people are willing to do what it takes to achieve it which suggests that they don't really want these things as much as they think. For me, someone who has been on a lifelong quest for consistency, Over the Top Golf has allowed me to achieve it.
There are many golfer who are easier at the right or left hand grip for a shot.I am a right handed dominant for a golf swing.
