Topping the Ball

photo credit: danperry.com Even though this is the shot of beginners, topping the ball can happen to the best of players, even professionals. It is one of the most embarrassing shots in golf, especially off the first tee with everyone watching. It's a demoralizing shot, to say the least.
There are two basic reasons for hitting topped shots: 1) Bad Posture. 2) Teeing the ball too low.
Bad Posture – Fix: Maintain your address posture through impact, do not raise-up (otherwise called lifting your head). When your body raises-up so does your clubface.
Teeing the ball too low – Fix: Simply tee the ball up higher. When using a driver, half of the ball should show above the top edge of the clubface.
