Hi All,

Was playing last week and was having a terrible time topping and slicing everything. So my playing partner told me to move the ball back and play of my back foot. This seemed to really help and played well from then on, even did it with the driver.

So my question is why would this be? Is there something wrong with my swing which this is just hiding?

A video would be your best bet to get advice on here.
My only thought is do you lean back with your weight on your right leg (if r/h) on your downswing? That might make the bottom of your swing arc near your right foot instead of towards your left foot, which would mean by the time it reaches a normal ball position it's on its way up and cutting across.
