Need help fixing my driving problem

[Steiner19er]

Lately while I am driving my ball i put a lot of backspin on the ball. So much backspin on the ball that when it hits the ground the ball goes backwards and makes a huge divot. It also does not help that i hit the ball high and it kills my driving distance. I have no clue what im doing wrong. I use a Taylormade burner (10.5 degree) and a Diablo (9.5 degree) and i see no difference between the two.
If you need more information just ask thank you for the help

I was waiting for someone better qualified to answer this but, since they haven't, I'd suggest that you are hitting down on the ball. Ty moving the ball forward a bit so that impact is as, or just after, the downswing levels out.

I agree with Robin. You are probably hitting steep and should be catching the ball on the upswing so that you create less spin.

Re: Need help fixing my driving problem

Agreed with both above...if moving the ball foward doesnt help, try stepping a half inch or so away from the ball at set up and attempt to swing on a flatter plane. This will help you to sweep the ball off of the tee instead of hit down on it and should also help promote a draw which will also help to reduce all of that backspin.
