I once had a guy who had this problem. What he would do was pick up his front foot and put it down one foot forward. That would cause him to swing under the ball.

What I had him do was allow how to pick up his heel but keep his toe on the ground (you see many pros do this). He was then able to get back to smacking the heck out of the ball.

FYI, I diagnosed this by putting a 4x4 in front of his front foot to see what would happen if he kept his front foot in place.
