A drill/set up that our course pro uses is to place a golf ball slightly out side and 2-6" behind the inpact ball and another ball just ahead of the impact ball the object is to hit the center ball and not the others. It works for some.

This is absolutely my bogeyman. If anything is going to screw up my swing, it's the old 'over the top' move. My drill is pretty simple. First, I force myself to start the takeaway by *pushing* with the left shoulder (assuming you're a righty). Then, I make a normal turn, and, from the top, my first move is to drop my right elbow straight down. From there it's damned near impossible to take it outside-in. My dad calls this 'ringing the bell' (like pulling the rope on a church bell), but my swing thought is "put the elbow in the hip pocket." BTW, Sam Snead's 'waltzing' trick will help this, too. Hum 'The Blue Danube" and swing in time to it. It helps you slow down your takeaway, make a full turn, and swing in rhythm. Over the top swings seem highly correlated with a rushed tempo. Good luck in smiting the beast. Burgess
