This is THE most common cause of coming over the top in the golf swing.<\/p>\n<p>It happens because most people play golf right handed and are right hand dominant.<\/p>\n<p>This leads to an overuse of the right arm, and as you&#8217;ll see in the Premium video, this steepens the pitch of the shaft and shifts the swing plane to the left.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s just a fancy way of saying that <strong>you need to tame the right side and learn to properly use the left.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>How the Left Arm Helps Change Swing Plane<\/h2>\n<p>As the video clearly demonstrates, proper use of the left arm actually does the opposite of what the right arm does.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The left arm actually shallows out the swing plane<\/strong>, and overuse can lead to getting stuck and approaching the golf ball too far from the inside, causing you to start hooking the ball.<\/p>\n<p>If you come over the top in your golf swing, this is a dream come true!<\/p>\n<p>But like all things in golf, we need a balance of both sides.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2751\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2751\" style=\"width: 572px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/over-the-top-golf-swing.jpg?ssl=1\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2751 \" alt=\"stop coming over the top\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/over-the-top-golf-swing.jpg?resize=572%2C425&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"572\" height=\"425\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2751\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Overuse of the right arm steepens the swing plane and leads to swinging over the top.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the left image above from the video, you can see what a steep shaft position looks like and how the right arm and shoulder work together to create this position.<\/p>\n<p>In the image on the right, you can see how the left arm stops you from coming over the top due to the musculature you have available on the left side of the body at the top of the backswing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By combining the proper use of the left arm with the second key that you&#8217;ll learn in the Premium video<\/strong>, you&#8217;ll be able to stop coming over the top and learn how the pros blast the ball from &#8220;the inside.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Now Get the 2nd Key to Fix Your Over-the-Top Slice Forever!<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There&#8217;s one more piece to add to your left arm action to ensure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-instruction\/golfbiomechanics\/how-to-stop-coming-over-the-top-in-golf-swing.php\">stop coming over the top<\/a> forever. &nbsp;The new Premium video covers both pieces with all the detail you&#8217;d expect from us!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-instruction\/golfbiomechanics\/how-to-stop-coming-over-the-top-in-golf-swing.php\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2828 aligncenter\" alt=\"stop your over the top golf swing\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cooltext1009317858.png?resize=450%2C58&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"450\" height=\"58\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cooltext1009317858.png?w=450&amp;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cooltext1009317858.png?resize=300%2C39&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cooltext1009317858.png?resize=148%2C19&amp;ssl=1 148w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cooltext1009317858.png?resize=31%2C4&amp;ssl=1 31w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cooltext1009317858.png?resize=38%2C5&amp;ssl=1 38w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-lessons-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/cooltext1009317858.png?resize=425%2C55&amp;ssl=1 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related <em>Premium<\/em> Content:<\/strong> <span class=\"learnMore\">(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-instruction\/membership_info.php\">Learn About Membership<\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rotaryswing.com\/golf-instruction\/golfbiomechanics\/role-of-left-arm-golf-downswing.php\">What the Left Arm Does in the Golf Downswing &#8211;
