Why am I hitting my driver low and left?

In many instances, having a strong grip will cause your ball to go low. To fix this issue, grip the club properly with the “V” on your right hand, created by your index finger and thumb, pointing to the inside of your right shoulder. Hitting the ball too low can be caused by shifting your weight to your left side.

Why can’t I hit my driver in the air?

Cause: Insufficient clubhead speed – If you swing the driver at 90 mph or less, the ball won’t compress as much on the clubface and, therefore, it will launch on a relatively low trajectory without enough backspin to send it higher. Also, make sure you aren’t teeing the ball too high, which flattens the swing.

When should you not hit a driver?

If you drive the ball longer than 270 yards… But not much. You should still be hitting driver a large majority of the time. There’s one major instance when you might not: When penalty hazards are within 65 yards of each other on either side, and the fairway narrows even between it.

Do pros hit up or down on driver?

So, the pros can hit up with driver, but they don’t have to because they hit the ball consistently with higher swing speeds. For the amateur golfer with a swing speed under 100 mph, they should typically hit up — that is, have a positive angle of attack — with the big stick.

How can I improve the trajectory of my driver?

If you are serious about your game (and without any alterations to your swing) changes to your equipment can add distance off of the tee. One of the keys to added distance is finding the proper launch angle or the trajectory the ball comes off the club face relative to the ground line.

What causes a golfer to have a bad launch trajectory?

This includes ball position and stance. Wielding a club that is too long, too short, too heavy or too light affects one’s ability to return the head to square. If a golfer has a hard time repeating their swing and making any solid contact with the ball, then a launch monitor and any results from the data will be worthless.

Do You Put Your Driver on the ground or above the ground?

But when you tee it up much higher, you need to hover the clubhead above the ground. If you set the clubhead on the ground at address, you will hit it on the heel of your clubhead. I know the golfer who told me he never felt he hit the ball on the sweet spot on his driver.

What’s the best way to control your trajectory?

When your wrists hinge and re-hinge through and after impact, the shaft is less likely to lean towards the target. The rule of thumb for trajectory control is finish high and full for high ball flight and finish low and short for low ball flight. If your shots hook and are low, choose a weaker grip.
