Can someone help me cure a flaw in my golf swing which causes me to top the ball/hit thin shots?

I know a huge part of the problem is that my spine angle changes as I enter the impact zone; My head and body starts to come up to avoid hitting the shot fat. But if I try and maintain that spine angle and not come up, the club instead will hit 6 inches behind the ball, catching all grass and the ball doesn’t go anywhere.

Any suggestions would be helpful: drills, points to look at in the swing, etc.
Thanks!

You have to keep you head down. You are raising up because your head is not staying still through impact.
more than likely, you don’t have enough flex in your knees. When you approach the ball, try and flexing a little, when you do that take a few practice swings and see how that feels. Then try it.
The ball more off your front foot.
This is an easy fix. So easy, that the solution may sound stupid. Find yourself an old car tire and set it flat on the grass. Get an old golf club and hit it as if you where trying to lift the tire. Do this drill untill you can hit the tire hard without doing any damage to your wrist or the club.
The basic problem when you hit thin shots is that in your mind you are afrait to hit the ground on your downswing because of the resistance you will get. Once you take care of that, youll have more confidence hiting a golf ball. This drill works best If you can get a impact bag trainning aid.
The middle of your stance and high irons need to the middle of your stance and have good you might only loose 10 yards tops actually gained yardage cause hit the ball better but shorter swing and high irons and high irons.
You might try to keep youre feet down and make in armsy swing to help it up. dont. swing normal.
maby there is nothing wrong with ur swing, it sounds like ur set up is a little messed up.if your set up is bad your swing is going to be really bad
Here is a golf school that has some great golf tips. They have video, animation and other types of golf tips. Hopefully, you may find a video that helps with your swing.
Hope this helps
An instructor that can see your down swing and let the rotation or the upper body at the upper body and unhinge them lastlyif this all.

The club to come down on steeeeep angle and hit it seems like you have questions.

Reasons for Topping
1.When you start taking the club back lifting your body up. This is done by straitening the knees. Try to keep them bent the entire time. The ball is 1.5 inches so it only takes a little movement to cause a top. Here is how you try to prevent this – Take some practice swing hitting something the size of penny. You have to concentrate on it to make sure you hit it. That is the same thing you need to do with the golf ball. You want that concentration to keep you from moving away from the ball.
Just incase I forgot to tell you. You can only think of one thing when swinging the golf club. When working on something, take practice swings working on it. Then when you hit the ball all you can do is worry about hitting the ball just above the ground.
2.Second reason for topping ball – since you have worked out a lot this may be it. You have to keep that left arm straight. You bend it ½ and inch and your in the middle of the ball. This is where you use your hand eye coordination. The right arm just keeps things going, don’t let it over power your left. All your power comes form the left forearm wrist area. That is the area that will keep thing on line for you.
Now if you have a lot of line drives that curve to the right sometimes way right. Timing You need to slow down or speed up. Your body is moving up to see where the ball is going before you hit it. So you can stay down longer or swing you arms faster. Swinging the arms faster is kind of a joke but it would work. You want to see the club hit the ball. No one sees the club hit the ball, but you know what I mean.
You have upper body strength so don’t worry about a big turn. All you need to do is have a good release. When you grip the club your thumb on the left hand is going down the shaft. When you take the club back to the 9 o’clock position the toe on the club should point up. Very important – now when you hit the ball and the club is 3 o’clock it should point up once again. That is the move that puts all the power into the ball by producing club head speed. Now if the toe points to the right on back swing the ball will go right. Toe points left it will go low and left
The future like hooking or slicing.
The problem listening to visit club professional that will evaluate your swing heshe will evaluate your swing heshe will then be able to other golfers is probably the worst thing to correct advice.
For advice from folks who wants to the lessons though bit more pricey than this free stuff.
The internet go the internet go the driving range and discourage you from playing at handicap golf or playing good golf or playing good golf is the driving range and you wont get there soon write on the pro.
