In this tip, I show you a simple way to stop topping the golf ball.
Topping is one of the most common swing flaws in golf. We have all hit these shots before. Typically, these topped shots are caused from coming out of the shot or lifting up as you hit the ball. It can also be caused by hitting hard with the arms. This simple way to stop topping the ball will help you delay your reaction to see your shot until after you hit it allowing you to make more solid contact.
This tip is not only for beginners who top the ball regularly but it’s also for more experienced players as we all hit these shots from time to time. Give this simple way to stop topping the golf ball a try both at home doing practice swings and at the range and you will see your topped shots disappear in no time.
