I have been reading a lot about technique and what not.. trying to learn as much as you can on paper then applying it at the range.

I am now at a point where I feel I have really good ball position and leg flex but, I am topping the ball constantly. If I tee the ball up just barely, I can hit beautiful shots.

I have this weird phobia about the ground. I just have this mental block that when the ball is on the ground I wont be able to accelerate through it I guess. I use to chunk the ball a lot so that may have something to do with it. I have sense fixed that for the most part.

Isn't this very weird? I am running out of ideas to help me. I think it's mental. Any tips to help me drop about a 1/4 inch consistantly? I feel like my knee flex is perfect and my distance from the ball is good but, I may be wrong.

Sounds to me like your heads popping up but without video hard to be certain. Thats a common issue though.

try this--- put a tee on the ground 1 inch in front of the ball.   focus on hitting the tee.

I'll try that. I have even tried taking practice swings over and over and I can't "scrap" the ground. I can force it to hit but it feels unatural and it's inconsistant..
