Matt,

Topping the ball with fairway woods is indicative of too upright a swing plane. You want the feeling of skipping a stone across a pond when swinging woods (side arm toss).

Also, when hitting the fairway woods bear in mind that in order for the ball to go up you must hit down. Obviously, you do not want to hit down with fairway woods using as steep an angle as an iron, but you do have to hit the ball with a slightly descending blow. If you simply try to sweep a fairway wood, you will tend to hit fat shots or top the ball frequently. Concentrate on hitting the ball first with your woods as opposed to sweeping the clubhead across the ground through impact.
