Comment STRIKE and I’ll send you the fix to compress every iron👇

Most golfers think topping the ball is a head movement problem. It’s not - it’s your right shoulder.

When you top it, the right shoulder is rising through impact instead of driving down towards the ball.

✅ Keep your eye on the right shoulder, not the ball - this tells you exactly what your body is doing through the strike, not just at address.
✅ Feel the right shoulder work down and through - this keeps the club on a descending path and stops the bottom of the swing arc from rising.
✅ Practise the sensation in slow motion first - grooving the correct shoulder direction without speed means the pattern sticks faster under pressure.

Once you feel the right shoulder dropping down to the ball, the topped shots stop almost immediately.

📩 Send this to your playing partner who keeps thinning it along the ground and can’t work out why.
