How to get more launch on drives???

Question

Is it at all normal to set up the drive with the clubhead about 6 inches behind the teed up ball? This is what I'm having to do to get the ball in the air with a 10 degree standard flex graphite driver... of course I'm opening the clubhead to compensate for prolonged impact and avoid hooking. I've sure I've got the clubhead speed but I can't seem to strike the ball with upward impact unless I move the ball up in stance and set the head about 6 inches behind it. Any more tips???

Answer 3

putting the tee higher does not make the ball flight go higher. yout should tee up about 1 and 3-4. second you should adjust your grip so its not so strong and finally you might want to play the ball of your frint foot.

Answer 4

when you strike the ball, you need to position your body like you are skipping a rock in order to get under the ball with your swing, but not lose distance. depending on how far your drives are going, it doesn't matter if they are high, it just looks good

Answer 5

put the tee up higher. it helps with me but i like to hit low shots because it goes farther.
