I went from topping every ball to smashing it 240 yards on the same day because of this video. Thank you so much.

Just got home from one of the worst rounds I've played in 5 years. I've never topped the driver like I did today. This was the first video that came up when I searched on Google. The scratch of the knee is brilliant. Can't wait to try.

A lot of big videos coming to the channel soon! Including matches against other creators. How do you want to see me play in a match?

Thank you, nice video. I'm a single digit handicap, got a new Titleist TSi2 driver and I absolutely love it, crush it. But I've developed an occasional habit of wickedly topping the ball sometimes. So bad that I'm creating a rather big divot, about six inches in front of tee, which I presume is from the ball, after topping it...cuz I'm not grounding the club. These two keys have helped a lot, to avoid those crazy tops. A little shoulder tilt, and don't stand up, stay in posture. Thank you, was driving me crazy (pun intended), and I couldn't figure out why.

Went from hitting a low pull/hook, tried this simple setup change and was hitting straight medium high drives every time. Definitely worth trying if nothing else is working.

I watched this video, went out to the range and 9 holes and it immediately fixed the issues i've had with topping my driver for the past year.

Went from topping the ball, hitting it max 80 yards (and just using irons), to hitting it between 200-250 with 2 hours of practice. If you've been struggling with this, this video is better than any of the others out there. Now i just need to find his video on how to fix a bad hook lol

Josh, thanks for your video. I just played 9 and topped like 4 drives. So embarrassing and frustrating. I’m definitely going to try and use your helpful video. Thanks much!

[brianwagner]

what a great video right to the point ty

I can see why lack of secondary spine tilt causes hitting down on it, which is undesirable, but why does that result in topping it specifically? Don’t get me wrong Im inclined to agree it does, just curious as to why. What if I hypothetically struck it on the sweet spot of the driver but hit down on it for example, or is that not possible?
I had a round where suddenly adding a bit of secondary spine tilt definitely improved my strike and loft but did start sending it left, I think a straight pull rather than hook, more so with driver but a bit with irons, also curious as to why that would be?

If you top the ball a lot this video is for you
