    I've been struggling lately with my angle of attack with my driver. I've been coming in high to low or "descending" into the ball. This is robbing me of distance and it always leads to the weak high right push. Does anyone have any tips to help me come into the ball low to high or "ascending"? I've been working with my local pga pro on this and when i do it right its great, nice high ball flight with a bit of draw to it. Thanks in advance.

    Driver address position is different. Assuming your are right handed, feel like your right shoulder is lower than your left. Your right hip is lower than you left hip. Your right knee is lower than your left knee. Overall, feel like you have 55% of your weight on your right side. It's almost as if you hang back slightly, the follow through to a full finish.

    I know I probably couldnt expalin it better than Ryan. I have been having the same problem, found out my high to low was making the ball leave the tee at a low angle of around 7-8 degrees. I have adjusted my swing so that on my set up, I set up square and drop my right shoulder slightly lower than my left. This helps so when you come back through the ball with the right shoulder lower, you get the driver swiniging up and sweeping the ball off the tee with a better angle and to recover the lost distance. Hope it helps. Have fun and good luck.
