I set up center followed by just leaning the club. I don't shift my weight or tilt. I just move the club to an angle basically.

That's what you don't want to do. Doing that is uncentering your hands and throwing off their coordination with your body.

Instead of moving your hands forward from center, keep your hands centered on your body and move the ball back slightly. Moving the club head to follow the ball will give you that same club angle. And this way you keep your hands and body in sync the same way on every shot whether you need to move the ball back a little or not.

Hmmmm. I'll have to ask my instructor about this on my next lesson. Reading bout it online shows people are for and against it. It had just helped me stay under the ball instead of topping it. maybe i can go back to center without topping.

That's the idea. Keep that swing as consistent as possible throughout the round. Moving the ball slightly back should help with your goal to hit down on the ball as well as helping to reduce the topping.
