You know, sometimes when I top the ball, I think I just need to get better at golf. Or maybe just get a better tee. Anyone else feeling that way? LOL!
Haha! I feel you! But humor aside, practice can really make a difference. Approach each session with a mindset of improvement, and the results will come.
Topping the ball can be so frustrating! I used to struggle with it all the time. For me, focusing on my stance and making sure I wasn’t leaning back helped a lot.
I totally agree! When I started keeping my weight more forward during the swing, I saw a huge improvement. It’s amazing how little changes can make a big difference.
In my experience, topping the ball often happens when I’m feeling rushed. Taking a deep breath and slowing down my swing really helped me out.
I’ve always had a tendency to top my iron shots. Focusing on completing my back swing has been key for me. Has anyone else tried that?
Really great point! When I emphasize a full and smooth follow-through, it often prevents me from topping the ball.
I sometimes joke that I might have invented the art of topping the ball! But I found that practicing with a more relaxed grip can really help avoid that.
I hear you, @jonestimothy! I’ve had my fair share of topped shots too! Laughing it off helps, but practicing alignment drills has been beneficial for me.

Has anyone figured out why we top the ball in the first place? Is it all stance, or is it mental? I’m curious if there are other insights out there.
Great question, @qmorris! I think it’s both. Sometimes the pressure of playing can really affect our swing. Just stay relaxed and enjoy the game!
I’ve also noticed that mental focus plays a big role. Reminding myself to look at the back of the ball instead of just striking at it has helped me a lot. It’s like golfing meditation!
