Topping 5 wood thread, a similar question

It was mentioned in Bassfishers thread about weight transfer being on the back foot. I topped a couple (balls, not two people) yesterday. I was conscious of keeping my head behind the ball, but my question is, is that related to swaying back and leaving too much weight behind on finishing the swing? If you position your head behind the ball you have to transfer the weight, if not, should I align my head with the ball and not worry about weight transfer. I occasionally fat the ball which again makes me think I'm leaving too much weight on back foot? Thanks.
 
If you can film your swing from face on, you'll be able to tell what you're doing.
Try and film it when you're actually on the course playing, rather than just swinging in the garden
