Cures for Topping the Ball

Thu, 12/04/2014 - 12:00 -- Don Trahan

If you find yourself topping the ball more often than not, there's a strong likelihood that you aren't maintaining the levelness in your swing. It all starts with the knees. The knees are the bees...move them too much and you're going to get stung.

If your knees move too much, it's going to cause everything else to move as well. If your head starts moving, it means that the ball is going to be in a different spot in your vision at multiple points during your swing. That makes it really challenging to hit the ball solidly and consistently. Your head and eyes shouldn't move until after impact when you stand up as fast as possible to get to the T-finish position. This will ensure that you're staying level throughout the swing, which leads to consistent golf.

Surge I am a 52 year old golfer who has been playing for 25 years now and my handicap was always hanging around a 15. I decided to make a change when I found the PPG and it has made such a huge improvement in my game. I feel like I honestly have the swing down pat. My current handicap is 13 (first time ever under 14) and I owe it all to the PPGS. I shot 80 the other day and I felt like I could of played another 18. Again thanks from sunny Vista, Ca.

Hi Surge,
I have been having much more success with my shorter clubs since using the PPGS with custom fitted Doc clubs but am still having problems making consistent connection with my longer clubs and particularly the fairway wood which goes straight but getting a really sweet contact is aproblem. Any tips?

I had abdominal surgery a month ago and my Dr. said not to play golf or lift more than 10 pounds for 4 weeks. I have a 3" vertical incision at the middle of my waist just 3" below my belly button. The month is up, do you recommend any swing suggestions or further precautions.
