Lie above feet

[lcfd42]

I did a quick search for this and didn't see what I wanted to ask.

I can't seem to strike the ball consistently when the ball lies above my feet at all, even slightlly. I tend to hit the ground behind the ball.
I've tried gripping down on the club, moving the ball around in my stance, and even flattening my swing plane, but can't seem to find what I need to be doing to make consistent contact.
Ideas appreciated. Thanks.

This may be tough to answer, but is this full swing only? Can you chip with the ball above your feet? If so, where in the [chip, full swing] range does your ability to hit above your feet stop?

If the answer is, say, 3/4 of a swing, it might be worth finding out where a handful of your clubs go on 3/4 of a swing, so you can use that club and swing in this situation.

1) Make sure that your arms are hanging down.
2) Take a practice swing and see where you brush the ground.
3) Adjust your body position until you are brushing your practice swing after the ball position.
