Which swing problem is associated with a right-leg dominant stance?

Slice path due to improper clubface alignment

In-to-out path with shoulder tilt

Over the top, posture and weight transfer are issues

Focusing on how stance and weight distribution steer the swing path helps make sense of this. When a right-handed golfer relies more on the right leg (right-leg dominant stance), the weight tends to stay back and the hips can stall or rotate unevenly. That sequencing often pulls the upper body ahead of the hips and sends the club on an outside-to-inside path—the classic over-the-top pattern. Along with this mis-timed weight transfer, posture can suffer as the spine angle breaks down or the body “hangs back,” reinforcing the bad path. So the combination of a right-leg dominant setup leading to an over-the-top swing, with associated posture and weight-transfer issues, makes this the best match.

The other options describe path and timing issues that aren’t as directly tied to having a right-leg dominant stance.

Down-the-line swing with tight hips
