Hi Naz,

Topped shots, I knew them well. Someone told me one time. On a tight fairway, snuggle the leading edge of the club head under the ball at address. If you can see the leading edge of your clubhead it is too far back. A good way to do this and know where it is. Take a natural setup and hover the club above the ball. It should be just slightly more toward the target than center. Then put the clubhead behind the ball. If it returns to the hoover spot under the ball, you will get a high, soft lander with a lot of spin. This is the pinch.
Another reason could be, if you practice alot on the range, and don't play as much, you want to see where the ball is going. Keep your head still through the shot and let your release bring you into a finish. If you come out of your through swing even a split second before the release you will top it. Wait to hear the click then the ball is gone.
