How to stop topping your driver

How to stop topping your driver: The main points

They key thing to know about topping a driver, or hitting it low off the bottom of the club-face, is that it means that you are likely backing up out of the stop or standing up and coming out of your posture.

The solution is simply to work on your low point and feel like your club-head is working closer to the ground through impact.
