Change the way you look at the book!

The book doesn't really worry about things that can't be defined by geometry, rather it focuses on the correct geometry.

Define over the top. How much? Is it a feel?

The book discusses the plane. Staying on plane. Tracing. If you are coming OTT, you are off plane on the downstroke. Your plane is moving left. Work on getting back on plane.

Is the club out of position at the top?
• Proper shoulder turn on backstroke
• Enough hip turn on back stroke

Downstroke Problem?
• Taking right shoulder down the plane
• Work on tracing with flashlights

Rather than thinking about how not to be OTT, think about how to get on plane. The proper geometry may turn on a light bulb for you.
