Over the top swing help

Golf is easy if you just let it be easy

Stand a touch more upright, drop your right foot back a half inch and move your left foot forward a half inch (slightly closed stance). Swing at it like your trying to hit a baseball out to right field but remember to turn your hands over.

Standing more upright (therefore slightly closer to the ball) will fix the shallow backswing (which isn't that important in the grand scheme of things). Attacking the ball from an inside path is though. Barely closing your stance will open up your body to allow room to come down at the ball from an inside path.

I've tried that and feel like I just lose so much at impact. Like I'm swiping at it and not smashing it

Correcting a big swing flaw usually requires making a change that feels weird. But coming over the top is gonna prevent you from being a good player. You should end up gaining speed if you can incorporate lag and swing on plane. You'll also be hitting from the short grass a lot more often

Without seeing your swing, id guess you're across the line at the top (club shaft pointing to the right of your target) and your misses are a big slice or a dead pull left.

Closing your stance to the line will promote an inside to out swing path, but only if your not throwing it from the top from an across the line position to begin with

Take 2 weeks off and quit.

Right elbow

If you turn your shoulders on the takeaway, you can't come over the top.

I may just need to post a swing vid

You want it. You got it! Check the forearm flex

Figured with that keg out front you would be sitting back on your right foot, hitting an inside to out draw all day.

Go sit in the corner. Come back when you can apologize.
