Why do you keep toping the golf ball?

Answer 1

Most people top the ball because they keep their weight on the back foot on the downswing and 'throw' the club at the ball. Instead, start the downswing by shifting your weight to the forward foot, and make sure your shoulders, arms, and hands line up over the ball at the moment of impact. In other words, keep your hands and arms in front of your chest at impact. The goal is to hit the ball at a level or downward angle, rather than having the clubhead move upward when it hits the ball.
