Hi John,
Try moving the ball back slightly in your stance. As a drill tee the ball lower than normal and practice making contact with the tee and the ball. Then try it with your normal setup, hope this helps!

I have the opposite problem to TOPPING my driver.....I have a severe case of the "topitis" and it is particularly a problem with my driver; I fight the topping and "thinning" my driver. What is a quick fix or drill I can do to stop this.....it is a scoring killer!
