The “Look Behind the Ball” Trick

The “Look Behind the Ball” Trick

Topped shots don’t come from bad swings, they come from looking in the wrong place.

In this week’s Lesson of the Week, LPGA Hall of Famer Cindy Miller breaks down the real reason golfers hit the top of the ball and the simple visual shift that fixes it instantly.

Instead of staring at the top of the ball and hoping for height, Cindy shows why your eyes need to move behind the ball to create the downward strike that sends it up. With one tee drill and one change in focus, the entire shot transforms.

If you’ve been fighting thin shots or can’t get the ball airborne, watch this. It will change the way you look at every swing.
