A lot of you have come to me saying you're having a lot of trouble topping the ball, and the area I usually see going wrong is that you aren't staying done long enough over the ball.
Below is a great photo, you'll see how he chest really stays over the ball at impact, then releases (a lot later then what feels comfortable as a beginner).
What happens with a lot of us as beginners, and also non-beginners is we tend to step up on it too early, so our chest points us
We need to keep it pointing down over the ball for longer.
Here is a great drill to try at the range
Place the ball outside the left foot and try to hit the ball
You'll really notice in this drill if you are popping up too early, so it is a great drill to to repetitively until you can make great contact.
Come and see me if you have any trouble!
