Hey Sparko,
Where is the ball position in your stance? It should be just inside your front heel.

Also, make sure that you are not swaying - swaying moves the bottom of your swing from the middle of your stance to your front heel. This means you are striking the ball on the downswing or at the bottom of your swing instead of on the upswing.

Re: low drives

Usually a sway starts on the backswing. Check out the article LowPost wrote: http://www.golf-tuition-online.com/v...rticle.php?a=1

Also, if you have the feeling of 'throwing' your weight towards the target, you will be moving the bottom of your swing. Do you also slice/fade with the low shot or is it a pull with a draw???

Re: low drives

The best way to keep the ball low with your driver is to close the face up a bit and bring the ball back to the middle of your stance.
