You are raising up on your follow through. When your approaching your shot, focus on the back of the ball and not on the middle of the ball. During your follow through, make sure you keep your head down and hold your position at the end of your swing.
Hope it helps and good luck.

All great answers...Here's another mental trick to use:
A lot of golfers will top iron shots because we try to help the ball get in the air by trying help the club in the ball upwards. Instead, make sure that you are hitting down on the ball--to get the ball in the air, let the club do the work. With irons, you actually want to strike the ball before the ground.

if your ball is behind your right foot (if you're a lefty) it's too much. Try movig it inside the right foot and swing though.
If your ball is in this possition and still topping then a) less backswing for control and b) put your wheight on your right foot till you get the feeling your shoveling the ball from underneeth. This will give you an idea of your weight transfer and where that weight is supossed to be, try this in the range and you'll figure this out nicely.

If you want to stop topping the ball; try this. When your at the driving range get on a mat that has the rubber tee. Align yourself correctly and w/o a ball on the tee practice hitting down on the tee. Continue this practice swing for a good 5- 10 minutes. Once you feel yourself staying down on your swing put a ball down and watch it fly. It's a mental game, once your mind gets your body to stay down it becomes systematic.

The same thing the rest of us are doing...playing the game! LMAO Just kidding. It could be any of several errors you're making, frequently it's trying to swing to fast or too hard or moving your head and/or looking up just before impact with the ball. Try slowing down a little bit and see if that helps.

probley the biggest thing is your lefting your head. one way to prevent this is shorten up your swing make it more compact. another is make sure your not to far away from the ball. i use to top it all the time now i hit good shots cause the father i went back in my swing the more i lifted and when i compacted my swing i hit better father and truer. so try that.

if you are topping the ball, i would think you are comming up on your downswing wich takes you off track of getting a good hit out of the ball. so when you are swinging try not to move around as much, also recheck you setup, maby you are too far from the ball?

Number one : Slow down! Put the ball in the middle of your stance and just make sure you take a small divot just past the ball. I promise this will cure it.

I am guessing that you either have the ball too far back in your stance or you are lifting your head trying to watch the ball fly down the fairway.

Try to keep you knee flex the same all the way through the swing. Also keep your spine angle the same.
Go down and through the ball, don't be scared of taking divots.
