Forward Up Swing
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.
Your clubhead position at impact is extremely important. But, having it in the right place in both the backswing and forward upswing is just as critical. That's because the position of the club at impact is directly determined by where it is in your takeaway and backswing.
If you don't know where the butt of your club points throughout your swing, you need to start taking notice. If it's pointing anywhere towards your aiming line, your swing is much too flat and laid off, which means you're probably in the sacred burial ground.
Whenever I'm asked to provide reasons or cures for a bad swing fault, I try to give more than one because I'm answering questions that are submitted on paper. This means I'm unable to actually see you swing the club, so instead, I have to try and figure it out based on what you've written.
I recently had the pleasure of giving a lesson to a first-time student named Rick Baldwin, a lefty who has been been playing golf for 20 years but has only been with the Surge Swing for about six months.
