Re: col

We need some info to help you. Where is the ball in your stance? How high is your ball teed in comparision to your clubface?

Re: col

I am right handed the ball is approx 4 inches inside my left foot, ball is teed1 and 1/2 inch from floor, club face is 2 and 1/2 inch in depth, so it appears I am only hitting about half ball

Ball should be just inside your left heel; 4 inches sounds too much.

And when you tee the ball up and rest your driver behind the ball, half of the ball should be showing ABOVE your clubface.

Sorta like that, with the ball sticking out above the clubface. (Awesome drawing, I know *applause* )

Re: col

First of all, you have to visualize your driver head hitting the ball when coming up and not going down as you have to do with an iron. With this you'll see the ball needs to be high and forward to the target, more or less ( time will say ).
