However, lower is generally better, as long as you have enough spin to keep the ball in the air as it travels down the fairway. Too far on either side of that range and you will likely lost distance as a result.
A lot of it is going to come down to getting a good handle on those two variable discussed above — launch angle and spin rate. If you are currently struggling to get sufficient height on your tee shots, it is likely because you have a launch angle and spin rate that are both too low. Raising either of these numbers should help your ball flight, and raising both of them but not too much should allow you to maximize your distance.
There are both swing adjustments and equipment changes that you can make to reach your trajectory goals off the tee. All of the golf swing tips to improve driver trajectory that are included below have been written for a right handed golfer. Should you happen to be a left handed player, please make sure to reverse the instructions so that they apply properly to your swing.
The Basics behind Your Ball Flight. In order to correct your low ball flight with the driver, you first need to understand what is happening to make the ball fly too low in the first place. Understanding the basic dynamics of ball flight is helpful for any golfer, but especially one who wants to get their driver higher into the air so it can fly farther down the fairway.
Read through the following points related to ball flight in golf and you will quickly have a better understand of what you should be trying to do in your swing. Golfers who are fighting a low ball flight off the tee can quickly improve their performance by just paying attention to the three points above. Combining an ascending blow into the ball with plenty of speed should lead to a shot that floats well up into the air.
It might not yet be your ideal ball flight, but it will at least be a step in the right direction. Making Some Swing Changes. In order to dial in the proper ball flight that will lead you to your best possible performance off the tee, you probably will need to make at least a couple adjustments to your full swing technique. Implementing even a couple basic changes to your form could have a major impact on what your ball flight looks like.
If you are fighting a golf driver ball trajectory too low at the moment, you are probably wasting your swing speed early in the downswing and not saving it up for impact. That leads to weak contact with the ball, and a shot that lacks the speed and spin to really get up into the air. Your angle of attack much be downward at impact and not upward.
Video your swing and see if you are swing on a flat plane or laying it off and trapping it through is my suggestion. You are probably delofting the club. My guess is your hands are ahead of the clubhead at impact. Take video footage of your swing from the front and then play it frame by frame. Make sure you are hitting UP on the ball. Sometimes you will be surprised that what you see on the video is not what you felt when you swung the club.
I bet you are hitting your irons great. You are coming down on the ball. I bet you have a small cut to your swing as well. Let me know if I'm right and I'll fix your driver. Wow posts in 7 months, I love golf! I'll videotape my swing and I must be hitting down on it but it definitely doesn't feel that way. Yes I do tilt my spine away from the target and keep more weight on back foot but I think I may have figured out my problem.
My shaft may be too stiff for me. I ordered a new driver last week and got regular flex instead of the firm flex of my callaway big bertha titanium driver. My new driver is the r7 draw. I've had the same epiphany as well. Just a thought too - you could be starting to pick up out of your swing.
Maybe its something this simple, or even try teeing it a touch higher? If you said 8. My guess is it is something in the swing somewhere. As stated by others, videotaping works wonders. Titleist D2, 9. Your swing may not be the main problem. In my case, I am a lefty and I know for a fact that my right leg is shorter by about 1 inch then my left leg. Not a lot you would say right! Well, it does affect my hips angle and shoulder as well. Granted, everyone's legs are not totally equal in length, but it is good to know so you can adapt.
And to further make a point about a previous above post, I do hit my irons very well and used to have a lower ball flight in my woods just as you do. Different swing shapes will lead to slightly different ball positions for some players but, in general, get your ball forward if you want to hit your shots higher.
In general though, hitting down is a bad idea because it leads to less loft on the club and less forward motion to your target and finish position. On the PGA Tour the average downward hit with a 7 iron is just 3 degrees. That path is a ball flight killer because it leads to shots pulled to the left for a right-handed player or sliced off to the right. The result is once again lower shots and less distance.
