hitting the ball higher off the driver

[indianagolf]

What are some key swing thoughts for hitting the ball higer off the driver.

Which is more important

right shoulder down well below left (right handed)

ball towards left foot

tilt away from ball at address

obviously teeing ball up higher

hi
i think it is a combination of all and a balance off all the things you have said. i don't think one is more important as they all work together. i also think swinging through to a high finish helps too.

I am glad you said i didnt need a higher degree driver. I love my driver! I have not loved a driver since the 975j many years back

I hit that ball about 260-280 with a mid-ball flight.....i think part of my problem is my right shoulder doesent stay down at impact. I tend to draw the ball and get good roll out. I used to hit the ball higher with a slight fade. If i could get the same ball flight with a draw i would be much happier

Re: hitting the ball higher off the driver

They're all equally important - ball up in your stance and teed up, spine tilted away from target (which sets the right shoulder lower than the left).

Since switching to this method I've consistently gained 20 yards in carry.

Re: hitting the ball higher off the driver

just important to follow through and not fall back since body is tilted away from ball...that sometimes is tough...swing ez i guess
