If you want to hit the ball flush more often, the bottom of your swing has to be in front of the ball.
Your shaft should be leaning toward the target at impact, and the divot should come after you strike the ball.
Many amateurs are so focused on the ball, they’ll try to scoop it into the air. It’s much easier to hit solid shots if you focus on the shaft: You want it pointing ahead at impact. To help ingrain this move, stick a pencil into the butt end of the club (insert) and practice chipping and pitching with the pencil pointing ahead of your body through impact.
Once that becomes easy, move up to full swings with the same goal.
