Understanding the Problem
The Issue: Topping occurs when the club's leading edge strikes the top half of the ball instead of making clean contact. This creates weak, low shots that barely get airborne, costing you significant distance and accuracy.
Common Causes:
- Standing up during the downswing
- Early extension (hips moving toward ball)
- Trying to lift the ball
- Poor posture at address
- Incorrect ball position
- Head lifting before impact
