many years ago, on my 25th birthday, I had the pleasure of spending a day with him and having dinner with him and my Grandfather. Wonderful experience. My interpretation of "over the top" has always been in regards to the right should coming over the top in the swing. I know you are referring to something different here. Great video and thank you.

You have a beautiful swing. Congratulations on your evolution and may you continue to be blessed. Thanks

I have been trying the OTT for a couple weeks now and I’ve learned something after many tries at trying to guide the club inside on the backswing and outside on the down swing. If you just rotate fully in both directions with relaxed arms the club will follow an OTT path automatically.

He's come in for a lot of criticism in recent years but the man is a legend. He might have odd flaw himself but to me that just makes him more personable.

David Duvall called it getting on top of the plane

Feels like it’s under the plain going back and on plain on the downswing. 🤩 wow

Gary Player came to my hometown in Maryland and played a charity event at the course I grew up playing. I recall this was in the summer of 1978 the year he won his second Masters. It was a fund raiser for our hospital. He raised quite a lot of money that day and absolutely destroyed that course! He shot a 63. Brantwood Golf Club in Elkton Maryland. That course is long gone now but the day Gary Player

I was there that day as well. He held his weighted club straight out between two fingers, then offered a new set of clubs to anyone who could match his feat. No one could. Very impressive!

Hi Christo, I appreciate you and your passion for the history of golf and the swings of it. A name not mentioned yet but this man was a sweet swinging OTT legend is the one and only "Silver Scot" Tommy Armour. Take a look, you will appreciate it 🤙!

Excellent analysis. Will give this a try

Solid words from my fellow south african. you have to out work them. hard work is what makes a champion. btw, have you ever looked into swinging a club that is about 3 to 6kgs in weight. I recently improved my tennis swing by using a 3kg weight. I quickly learned what the optimal swing path is. There is a specific swing path that is optimal and efficient. anything else is just wasted movement and the heavy weight gives immediate feedback. I know this is something Nicklaus talked about a lot. he used to practise with two clubs and I never understood that until now

I was lucky enough to spend time playing with him. His exact words…”Hands back and up. The club head is on a different path than the hands.”

Martin Ayers showed you the inside takeaway. Weren't you going to do a project with him?

Ive been crushing my irons with my ugily ott swing for 20 years now, can hit a 7 iron where ever i want to put it 200 yards, just cant control my driver consistenly for power or accuracy day to day with it

My ‘feel’ is that I drag the club away from the ball with my right arm during my backswing. This pulls my left arm across my chest and takes the club head to the inside. Half way back I stand the club head up i.e. swing the club up on its end. Then just swing down through the ball. Suddenly I’m hitting it out of the sockets.

Oh, yes. I’ve seen it. I wish I adopted it years ago.

If you want good swings, Tom Weiskopf and Johnny Miller in my estimation were better than all the ones mentioned. Swinging from the inside is were the power comes from but it important not to over swing it. When I want to fade the ball I bring it back a little straighter than inside and finish inside if I want to draw the ball I swing inside outside. Swing path allows me to work the ball, look at your divot. You have a great swing but what makes it to me is your timing and tempo and that makes a great golf swing, my opinion.

Not many seem to do. But the evidence is for all to see when watching the official Open film and it occured att the 18th hole before Player played his 3rd shot (left handed) next to the clubhouse. I’ll let you all see and judge for yourselves if it is ok to improve one’s lie like Player did before hitting his shot. What baffles me is R&A didn’t do anything about it, yet they were right there and an official even denied him relief from the clubhouse building seconds before.

If you take the club to inside wouldn’t the chance of shanking the ball increase?

It's not a contrived "over". Is it not the result (in part) of his weight already beginning to transfer to the left foot and the initializing of his left hip beginning to rotate? He may be allowing the club to move "over" with a smidget of help but it's more of a fluid and subtle over as a result of previous movements going on in the swing. I think isolating the movement without talking about what's going on with the weight shift / and turning of the hips would be akin to owning Park Place but NOT Boardwalk. The two are connected in a synergy that creates the ideal scenario for everything coming together naturally and effortlessly. Thanks Now let us pray 🙏

There’s so much confusion in golf instruction. Leadbetter talks about hands stay inside and the club outside on the takeaway. Players takeaway the club go inside. If you stop at 3 to four feet turn to your right the face is open. For me personally it works to take the club inside on the takeaway and then I don’t cut a crossed it at impact.

I’d say that’s more Mike Austin in that swing back then Player and the rest had too swing hard wooden clubs etc

Player may have made a mistake or two, who hasn’t? He is a great ambassador of the game and opened doors for many.

simple, most Pro's that swing "over the top" lay that shaft off on the way down..amateurs hold that shaft more up right

This is no over the top swing ! The right shoulder of all good players goes down and not arround !

Well, you are wrong, but I get what you meen and it is not wrong, just här me out now. That is not over the top and i think it might be missleading for some players. If a player would have an outside takeaway and do that downswing they would indeed be over the top and slice or pull every shot. What Gary player does and you teach is NOT over the top, it is inside swing plane and then right back on the swing plane, you can ho inside takeaway, outside takeaway, One plane swing, as long as you get back ON the swing plane you will hit pretty straight shots. All ways are the right way, but i think to say it is over the top is wrong and might be missleading.

Terrible breakdown of a great swing. THIS IS NOT OVER THE TOP!!

Gary Player is religious? What religion is Gary Player ? Gary Players wife is part of the Mormon Church that is not a Christian Church and Gary Player should be told that Jesus Christ started 1 Church and there is no salvation outside that Church , Jesus Church is not optional to go into men started Churches. Jesus Christ Holy Catholic Church as Ignatius of Antioch taught by Apostle John said in 107 AD wherever the Bishops appear let the people be wherever Jesus Christ is so is the Catholic Church…
