Topping the golf ball is frustrating, but it’s not because your clubs are too short, you’re lifting your head, or swinging too fast. The real culprit? Tension.
Why You Top the Ball
Tension causes your shoulders to bunch up, elbows to bend, and muscles to shorten—lifting the club higher than it should be at impact.
The Fix: Focus on the Grass, Not the Ball
- Start Small – Use a broken tee, matchstick, or bottle cap on the ground. Take a short iron and practice brushing the grass, sending the tee a few yards forward.
- Gradually Extend Your Swing – Once you’re making solid contact, increase the length of your swing while still focusing on hitting the ground after the ball.
- Forget the Ball – Instead of staring at the golf ball, lock in on the tee. This helps prevent the common mistake of hitting the top half of the ball.
- For Drivers – Set the tee low and practice hitting the tee, not the grass. This generates better strikes and more power.
Stick with this routine, and you’ll start making clean, consistent contact instead of topping your shots. Try it out, and say goodbye to those frustrating mishits!
