I play a round today and im a 22hi.

I have a horrible topping problem with driver.

Tee off on EVERY par 4 and 5 on my front nine to less than 120 yards and some less than 80 yards.

I had zero approach shots from within 160 ZERO.Most wer 180 -220 I shot a 46.
2 par 3's I par'd and Dbogey.


Back Nine

every par 4 or 5 i shoot the same, shot a 47. I did have one from 160 yards for my approach the rest were 200 yards or more from tee. Par 3's were bogey bogey.


ALAS on the 18th hole my pop has me open the face of my driver almost 2 inches. I drive a solid 265 no roll. In disbelief I re tee and use the open face driver and unleash hell and 290 yards little roll(2 inches of rain last nite).
I go in the water on 2, drop 3 hit a 180 yard iron over a pond and trees uphill, then sink a 25 ft putt.


First ...Thanks to my POP
2nd cant wait to try this driver grip on a new round.

93 total score. I count 12 wasted tee shots when compared to my potential.

Whenever I flat out top the ball, or when I used to when I first started golf, I always knew it was one thing...

You sure about that?

I took a couple months off due to illness, and when i started playing again i hit my irons very solid but just topped the crap out the ball with any wood type of club i touched (and yes i knew to keep the head down)! I remember standing at one tee box hitting 4!!!! straight tops with my driver and just couldnt figure it out. Couple days later it just is gone and i havent topped one in probably 2 weeks now - strange thing huh?

When I topped the ball alot, I found out I was teeing the ball to far in front of me.

    • Day 354: shitty, busy week so far. Only had time for a bit mirror work - working on the same things. 
    • IDK, a full turn. That is what it's feeling like. When I shallow the club, it ends where It ends. Should I crank the torso more around?  I'll check a face-on to make sure, but it's not like I am trying to make partial backswings.  The day has finally come, when I am getting comments on not making a long enough backswing. 🤣 too much of what?  Here is my typically routine.... 1) I usually start out just doing position work. The backswing stuff we work on. Turn to A2.5-ish, shallow to A4, pause, arms down to A6. Then, slight pump drill and hit the ball.  2) I do some pause at A4 and arms down and try to hit ball from A4 instead of A6.  3) I do some full swing stuff, trying to blend it all together. Checking video to see if I am actually keeping the club shallow or not. If not, then I go back to trying to train the downswing with the stuff we worked on. I try to blend it all together again, and check video.  What am I missing here? I do the stuff we worked on. I'll keep it at, it's all I can do. Just hope it changes.  Sorry for trying to find a feel that keeps the club shallow.. 
    • Ha ha.... I'm not sure.  I've actually never watched a LIV event. ... but maybe? 👍👍
