Few things are more frustrating than lining up an iron shot only to see the ball shoot low along the ground. If you're searching why you keep topping the golf ball near Crewe, Cheshire, you're not alone.
Topping the ball is one of the most common problems golfers experience, particularly with irons and fairway woods. The good news is that the cause is usually simple — and with the right coaching it can be corrected quickly.
At Keele Golf Centre, our PGA professionals help golfers from Crewe and across Cheshire develop a more consistent strike and eliminate topped shots.
Why Do Golfers Top the Ball?
Topping the golf ball happens when the club strikes the middle or upper half of the ball rather than the ground just after impact.
This can be caused by several swing issues, including:
-
Lifting the head during the swing
-
Poor posture or setup
-
Trying to scoop the ball into the air
-
Weight staying on the back foot
-
Inconsistent swing arc
Many golfers try to fix the issue by swinging harder, which often makes the problem worse.
How Golf Lessons Can Help
During a lesson at Keele Golf Centre, our PGA coaches analyse key areas of your swing including:
-
Setup and posture
-
Weight transfer
-
Swing arc and low point
-
Ball position
Using video analysis and launch monitor feedback, we can clearly show why the ball is being topped and how to correct it.
Often, small adjustments to posture and swing sequence can dramatically improve ball striking.
