Skill issue. 100%.
Most of the time when you hit that part you’re coming in extremely steep and having to save the swing by flipping your hands at it, thus putting the top of the club in play. A shallower angle of attack will allow you to “sweep” the ground or create a long flat spot at the bottom of your swing arc where you hit the ball.
For me it’s shifting too far forward instead of shifting up and pushing down into the ground.
Probably head moving ahead of the ball. Lower body action is where the biggest mistakes happen in my opinion.
Lower tee; I was doing the same thing today at the range.
Too steep.
Teed up too high.
Think it’s called, you’re not a pro.
Likely swinging it like an iron. I broke a driver learning that lesson. Move the ball up in your stance and hit the ball on your upswing with the driver.
I tee it lower now. Best year for me driving ever. I just can’t come through 2-3 inches off the ground like everyone else so I tee it lower. Got a new driver and didn’t want to damage it so I went low.
You aren’t good.
A poor swing.
Try putting a club head cover in front of your ball 1 foot and forcing yourself to hit over it.
It’s caused by hitting down on the ball. Happens when your head moves forward in the downswing, usually caused by a bad setup or an unmanageably aggressive swing/move.
There are any number of reasons why this might happen. Anyone giving answers is purely guessing. It could just be bad hand-eye sometimes, not always a mechanical issue; the miss is just an inch off in one direction.
Post a swing if you want real advice.
Gotta be your swing.
I had this exact same problem. I was losing my spine angle. My first move of my downswing was almost like I was actually bending my knees a little bit. Once I was able to stay solid… no more pop-ups.

Yeah I’m having lessons, but we’re walking before we run. But I can’t help myself at the range and like to spray a few drives! Crossfield is good, I like his videos “you’re welcome
