Possibly sliding on the start of the downswing changes your position relative to the bottom of the arch. Bend in lead arm. Changing spine angle. Sometimes when a person tries to use too much speed or power they left as they come into the hitting area which causes topping. Coming over the top on the swing can can it as well.

When I top the ball it is because I am trying to hit the ball very hard, and I will tend to raise my head & shoulders during my downswing. When I make a smooth controlled down swing, I hit the ball much better.

Now you know so you can increase your speed but just do it more smoothly. Don't jerk down at the start. Sometimes focusing on the front of the ball or back of the ball helps. If you are too jerky you will have a hard time seeing the ball on the way to impact.
