Arnold Palmer used this amazing trick for great compression and incredible ball striking. Using a bowed wrist and an Over the Top Miracle Swing helped Arnold win 62 PGA events and 7 major championships!

Yes, I watched Arnie play many times. Once at the Kemper Open, he asked his caddie for a new ball and said I’m going to try to get home in 2 on a par 5. Man did he take a swipe and the ground did shake. I felt it.
Fighting the hook absolutely true. Most of his great recovery shots were made from the left side of the fairway-rough- woods….
Great video footage of the King. Balata balls would spin so much it was
harder to keep those big hooks and slices from happening. Could the over the top swings just be his fade swing? There were swings in your footage that show him not doing the 'whirly-bird' and those seem to be a draw swing? I am not sure. What do you think?
Can you do a video on Sergio Garcia's swing? He has ridiculous lag that produces tremendous power.
I love the feel of OTT. There is no trapping of the right elbow. And the body opens so easily and the hips naturally turn rather than slide. So many good things. It is my opinion that the OTT poor swings result from thrusting or casting the club thereby getting steep and outside the plane. And although I often hit wonderful shots with that "perfect feel" I believe I fight getting a little too steep also. In Arnie's transition his wrists are "soft" and the outward push of the club results in the bowing of the left wrist on the downswing. IMO of course. Any suggestions on how to make sure the club is not too steep, but shallows naturally would be appreciated.
Christo great video, so many players, play their best golf from inside the plane line to on the plane line.That's how I have looked at them, so are you and them OTT or more accurate inside and then on plane line? Wondering
One issue with heavy compression of iron shots– you're squashing the ball into the ground, and the ground is different on every shot. So you're adding an extra variable that affects distance control. I sweep my irons, but admittedly I play off the white tees on a pretty short course.
How low left was Arnie? At the end, he has a high finish but did he exit low?
So Christo you said on MSE TV that the lasso move is the move of the trail shoulder ( blade) that brings your trail atomic elbow automatically down into its Shangri-La slot. Which it does and makes perfect sense to me.
So knowing the lasso move can only go in one direction ( clockwise for right handed players) doesn’t that make it a fundamental move in your Miracle OTT Swing? Just wondering. Are their other fundamental moves you might need to consider? What say you. Cheers 😃👍⛳️❤️
Hey Christo! I have adopted your OTT swing, and im making REALLY solid contact with the ball. The one issue i am having though, is that i am over-fading/slicing my long irons. Basically anything over a 7 iron.
Any tips?
I think the whirly bird finish is because he has put everything he has into the downward motion and is catching the energy on the way up where he's not really set up to do that so he picks the most comfortable path to finish. Apparently it's very comfortable because he's able to give everything he has into the start. Otherwise he would be holding back
compression is physics, been solved for thousands of years there are no secrets.
He never used a miracle swing.
The best driving exhibition is Arnold Palmer vs Julius Boros 1968 Shell's Wonderful World of Golf. The match takes place in the Bahamas and Boros is using the British ball with Palmer using the larger American ball. You can find this match on youtube
