Symptom: Topping, scooping, hitting the ball thin.
Overview:  Put the ball on a tee and push the tee all the way into the ground, as if the ball is not teed up at all.  Now, focus on hitting the tee, not the ball, on the downswing.
Why it works:  If you are topping the ball it means you are not hitting down on the ball, with a descending blow.  You simply cannot hit a good golf shot without a descending blow (but you already know that, which is why you are here, right?).  Fortunately, it is very easy to get the feel of the descending blow and the solid contact that comes with it. 

The "ball on embedded tee" looks like trouble for you -- but you will know that there is a tee underneath (you just put it there, after all), and your mission is to hit the tee, not the ball!  In order to hit the tee, you will naturally hit the ball with a descending blow, which is the very thing you are after.  Do this, and you will have no trouble taking your divot in front of the ball, where it belongs.
